Moving to India?

Well, there's a very good chance that I’m moving to India to work for a games company. I wonder what gaming will be like over there. I've already checked out the price of X360 games whilst I was there on holiday and they are pretty expensive. I'm only going to get about 30,000 Rps. per month and a game costs around 2500-3000 Rps. (new), that's about £29-£35. Price of living though is low so I should be able to cover my "hobby".

If I do end up moving to India I plan to blog every week or so just to talk about my life in India and gaming in India. Hopefully it will help others who are planning to move to India. The gaming in India will hopefully just be an interesting read.

Ok, so here’s the list of games which I’m currently interested in buying:

- Fable 2 - I really liked the first game, luckily I missed the whole hype machine and bought it the year when the Xbox 360 was released so I could enjoy it in peace.
- Mirror’s Edge – Looks amazing and the idea is very cool. The hard part will be playing that game without shooting one single bullet:P
- Left 4 Dead – I’ve been watching the development of this ever since it was first introduced to the public (before Valve stepped in and bought the company). I am really looking forward to this since I prefer to play with other humans rather than against them i.e. I’m not good against other human opponents :P
- Far Cry 2 – I thought the first far cry was really good but this new one just seems to be better. I just hope that there are no aliens.
- Red Alert 3 – I’ve been a fan of the Red Alert series since the first one. The good thing about this one is the cast... women... hot.
- Dead Space – I like the idea of just floating around space, with the undead. Also the animated comic strip has increased my interest in this game’s storyline.
- Quantum of Solace – A bond game, which is getting a lot of press coverage, it looks good and hopefully I’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed playing Goldeneye.
- Fallout 3 – Not actually too sure about this one. I enjoyed Oblivion’s gameplay and that’s why I’ve put it on my list.
- Gears of War 2 – Hopefully we’ll be able to get more of the storyline, in the last 5 minutes of the game :P
- Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts – Never really a fan of this game, I didn’t play the original games on the N64. In my opinion, Rare haven’t made a really game since the N64. So hopefully this one will be it.
- Metal Gear Solid 4 – I own a PS3 but I’ve only ever played it for about ½ an hour! After that I packed it away. I’m going to wait for the price to come down on MGS4 and then buy it but the thing is I haven’t played the other MGS games so I’m not sure that I’m going to enjoy it much.
- LittleBigPlanet – I’m hoping this game will force me to unpack my PS3 and replace the empty spot where the Nintendo Wii used to be.

That’s a pretty good list. More will be added to this list as time goes on.
