We need more bollywood games. Its a win win situation for all PS3 gamers.

Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

One has to wonder if you can re-create the creativity that is required to make a good game.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Well, Sony loses nothing from this since SOE has basically been a non-factor since WoW came out and yet they gain so much. Good for them, for sure, and probably not bad for the Indian company since they gain some things they wouldn't have otherwise, such as famous IPs.

You do not have the right to never be offended.

SOE is working on the Ramayana game so having an indian company running the show is a good thing.
