At PlayStation Experience 08’ event in Bangalore, Sony Head Atindriya Bose mentioned that they are working on ‘India themed’ games. Meaning, games which might appeal to Indians. Ehm.. I mean games which might result in improved sales of PS2 in India. Well what do I care about motives and such might-y thoughts? I care about the games.

The first one is a sports based game, he mentioned kabaddi and kho-kho; no idea if it’s one game or two sports themed games. Anyway, it sounds like an interesting prospect. My PS2 might be pleased; poor thing has been ignored after God of War II.

The second game is a quiz based game, targeted at students preparing for Medical/engineering entrance. Oooh, now that is the most innovative plot to get people who should be studying to spend more time with their consoles. Now kids have an excuse and parents can’t say no even. Sony’s smart

The third game is based on Hanuman. “Not again,” I thought. But hey, it might be good! I missed the name of the developers, but whoever they are better do a good job. Or else what? I give up on Indian mythology-gaming combo once and for all. Oh wait, Trine studio is also working on a Hindu mythology based game called Legends of India. (quite interesting!!)
