Irrational’s ‘The Lost’ Gets the Bollywood Treatment

11:23AM Maggie Greene | I love promotional music videos for games, since they’re usually so wonderfully terrible they’re fantastic. It’s even better when there’s a weird story attached: GameSetWatch turned up a NeoGAF post regarding the fate of Irrational’s cancelled release, The Lost. The game has resurfaced (with reworked graphics, but with core mechanics and story relatively intact) as an Indian release for PCs under the title of Agni: Queen Of Darkness. As GSW neatly sums up, “… evidently this title went south, Irrational got bought by 2K and turned their attention to BioShock, and FXLabs managed to rejigger it for a Bollywood PC release.” But that’s not all! It even got its own music video featuring Bollywood star Malaika Arora. I’m entranced. Irrational’s ‘The Lost’ Turns Up… In Bollywood?! [GameSetWatch] More »

This Friday, Europe Gets SingStar…Bollywood

11:20PM Luke Plunkett | Get a load of this tracklist! Good news is there’s no Rihanna, no Kanye West, no…whoever else is big with the kids these days. No Fleetwood Mac, either, so we’re good on both ends of the SingStar spectrum. Bad news is…who’s ever heard of any of these artists? Or bands? Not me. Not you either, I bet (”you” excludes all Kotaku-reading Bollywood fans).
