Yeah, that’s right. It’s a video game. Based on the Mahabharat. Thankfully, not by an Indian developer. You know, I would really like it if Indian developers did better on an international level but at this point, they suck. They have no money and not enough experience to make quality games. We’ve done great on the mobile platform but when it comes to console or PC gaming, Indian studios have a long way to go.
So, the game is being developed by Syncere Arts from Canada. I haven’t heard of them before but I’d like to believe they’re sincere about this game. It is expected for the PC and Xbox 360 in April 2008. Long wait. But hopefully, if this game makes progress, we’ll hear more about it pretty soon.
You play Arjun and have access to dozens of weapons and “vedic powers” and can master 9 schools of power. They claim to have realistic physics and incredible depth in gameplay.
It all sounds good and I sincerely hope that the game is released and is actually as good as they say it is. Here’s the link to the game site:

But do you know that many companies from different parts of the world outsource character models and sketches from India. It’s a shame that though Indians know it they can’t do it.

Yes! There’s good work being outsourced not only for games but also for movies. It’s unfortunate that we haven’t been able to put these skills together to make a good video game.
