When i start thinking about it .. First thing which comes to my mind is CRICKET! May be thats bcos thats the first and I think the only game I have been playing for some many years.
Few days back .. my colleague asked me .. "Chal .. lets play AOE?" .. and it took me few secs to decode ... AOE is 'Age of Empires' .. and i said nahhhhhhh, not interested! Then came our NFS competition. Oh I was better here, I atleast knew what NFS stands for! :P but when it came to car racing I was interested and did my bit to compete well.
Its all about games now a days and gone are the days of basic Mario, Ninja or Tanker or PacMan. Its really interesting to see how this business has evolved over the years. We in our team, always talk about innovations and doing a simple thing differently. Its this difference which makes you better than others. I remember thinking about this sometime back. One of my friends told me, her husband works in company which develops games! He's into gaming all the time. That just didnt interest me at all. I was like .. what more can anyone do into gaming!
But that was somtime back and now I have realised there's so much to do here .. Today I was going through the details of XBOX Kinect. (I need to install SilverLight to see demo, which I will surely wont install :P) http://www.xbox.com/hi-IN/kinect/
Today, its all about keeping your consumers 'engaged and involved' all the time. These are few words my CEO mentions all the time :) . But I realize its importance and YES, its all about ideas and keeping your consumers engaged!
Nintendo coming up with 3D games on a dual screen handy box and PS3 and Xbox coming up with seventh generation games, we as customers have a lot to choose from .. These ideas have succeeded in making a a gamer get out of his couch playing games to actually performing actions to win a tennis game on his XBox:) And I think, this is a win-win for both children and their parents :P sochenge .. bachha atleast kuch activity kar raha hai!!
Well lets see where these new ideas takes us in coming years in field of gaming! and for me .. It will interest me only if i can play a cricket game with a bat in hand and hit Shoaibh Akhtar for a SIX .. thanks to one of these gaming inventions :)
