It’s here!
After having talked about it countless times in the past few months, the Alone In The Dark Contest has finally shown up. Blame the delay on our lazy admins for not having it up and running much earlier. Guess we will have to go with the age-old saying that it is never too late for anything.
Participants of our Game of the Year 2007 contests would immediately feel at ease with this one. This time around, to get more and more people to jump on-board, the contest has been made much more accessible. Mind you, it is just a teaser for the things to come in the following months, so you better stay sharp.
This week saw a lot of interesting announcements, and we’re not just talking about the newly-appointed Microsoft India E&D Country Manager (but I’ll point it out anyway). Nope, Sony’s also been making the rounds this week. Aside from some game development and industry chatter, we got PS3 titles going for cheap and silly viral marketing videos to gloat about. Read on, scallywags!

Looks like somebody up there (or down here) finally decided to have some pity on Indian gamers without an Internet connection, a credit card, a Play-Asia account and oh, about 3 weeks of patience. Or in some cases, way longer. After having ignored the country for a long time, except for Lost Planet: Extreme Condition on the Xbox 360, Jap videogame giant Capcom have tied up with local distribution giant Milestone Interactive to bring all their upcoming and back catalog titles to the country.
While the distribution would initially stick to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the PSP platforms, Milestone says they would also be offering PC and PlayStation 2 titles somewhere down the line. The back catalog, which currently includes hot property such as Dead Rising, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and Devil May Cry 4 will be available starting this week at stores all over the country, with newer games such as MotoGP ‘08, Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5 being available in accordance with the international street dates for these titles.
For all the Battlefield fans out here in India, the wait for Battlefield: Bad Company just became so much easier. A little email in our mail box alerted us to the fact that Redington and Milestone Interactive are accepting pre-orders for the Xbox 360 and the PS3 version of the game in India. This is good news for all those who want to get the game on Day 1, besides getting to unlock the bonus sniper gun, which is available in-game only if you pre-order.

Whatever Latino Kratos says, Latino Kratos means well. Milestone Interactive just so happens to be offering a kinky pre-order deal for those who have been looking for an excuse to pick up a PSP Slim & Lite (or two, if your name is Scrooge McDuck). Not only will you be cashing on what’s already the best playing PSP action game to come out in like forever, but in addition to that - you’ll also be chain-combo-ing yourself a Kratos action figure as well. Just what the mad doctor prescribed!
