WCG India website has undergone a partial update to include the list of games which will be featured in this year’s tournament.

The list of games for this year’s WCG India includes Counter Strike, Trackmania Nations, Fifa 09, Carom3D, Asphalt 4: Elite Racing(Mobile), Wise Star2(Mobile).

The introduction of Trackmania Nations is a welcome change from the NFS series of games which have been dominating most gaming tourneys. If you haven’t played this game yet, you can download it for free from the main WCG site, the tracks which will be used in the tournament can be downloaded from here.

The console games featuring in this year’s tourney are Guitar Hero: World Tour and Virtua Fighter 5. But surprisingly none of these games will be present in Indian edition. This was unexpected considering the circumstances. Console manufacturers are trying to push their sales in the market and presence of console games at tourneys like WCG will only encourage more gamers to pick up a controller.

Now the next problem I have is with the schedule. What problem do I have with it? It says “Coming Soon” that’s my problem. What was the point of updating the site in such a way. Why not get all information and then update the site and then send out a mailer?

All I have to say is, I hope Indiagames doesn’t repeat mistakes of last year. Remember what happened?

Here is the coverage of WCG Bangalore stage, from2007, as appeared in Bangalore Mirror, Joystick page. I was supposed to cover it, but couldn’t as I had to go to Kerala on an emergency.
