This is a couple of months old now, so apologies if you’ve seen it elsewhere, but it would be criminal not to post this Bollywood-ised Assassin’s Creed movie trailer. More »

Following in the footsteps of their California kin, India’s Bollywood has started courting the video game market with their own movie stars.
Video games based on Hollywood movies are nothing new. Video games based on Bollywood movies are newer. Hit flick Ghajini is getting just that.
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.

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). So from a sales perspective, this should be…interesting!
