About a few days ago, the World Cyber Games association announced their official roaster for this year’s global competition, and I gotta say, India better be getting a good chunk of what’s being offered. Project Gotham Racing 4 seems like a no-brainer, but Virtua Fighter 5? Oh, I’d be hitting that with a dash of chilli-sauce. And you should too.

Speaking of which, when we spoke to Cyril Ferry during last year’s preliminaries in Delhi, one thing Reggie and I asked him was the deal on the lack of recent game titles (Project Gotham Racing 3 makes an appearance, but Gears of War doesn’t?). He reasoned that because of the costs involved in owning either a high-end rig or next-gen console, older games running on older systems will always make for a bigger draw in the hearts of competitors. With a year already gone by, I hope to Hercules that this isn’t so much the case anymore, especially if you look at Guitar Hero 3, of all things considered. It’s widely available on a number of platforms (even on the DS, for Christ’s sake), and if folks don’t feel like purchasing the pricey peripheral, they can always jam for free on their keyboards with Frets on Fire. What does IndiaGames got to lose on this one?
