Enjoy over 300 titles for a small monthly fee

Expert Review

Indiagames.com has been synonymous with mobile gaming and continues to be even today. But after starting their Games On Demand (G.O.D) service, they've taken gaming to a whole new level. Not only do you get flash games or small online multiplayer games that many others provide, but you can now enjoy major titles like Need For Speed Most Wanted, Medal Of Honor, Hitman: Blood Money and the rest. For a small monthly fee you can enjoy over 300 titles, which is not a bad deal. Indiagames have also tied up with some of the major ISPs like BSNL, MTNL, Airtel and the rest with some pretty tempting offers, which we'll see in a bit.

Among other features, we also have a couple of new features, like the ability to create your profile, add friends, send messages, post a review of the game you've just played and also connect with friends on various social networking sites. So let's see how the service has evolved over time.

Tariff plans

Before you can start gaming though, you have to sign up for either a Casual Plan where in you have access to smaller games like Bejeweled, Bookworm, etc and a Premium Plan which gives you access to all the bigger titles as well like Age of Empires, Hitman, etc. They also have some promotional offers with major ISPs; like a 15 day free trial period with BSNL, four-day free trial period with MTNL and a 14 trial period for Tata customers. Below is a quick look at the available Tariff plans. Wizkid is basically a section on the site that consists of puzzle games, in case you're only interested in that genre. It is currently available only on Airtel.

In case you're not on an unlimited data plan, you don't need to worry. As long as you get your Internet from one of the following ISPs the download will not be counted in the usage plan. However, in case you're on an ISP that's not tied into the GoD scheme then the download will be charged to your usage plan.

The most popular games are displayed on the site along with the new GoD community added in the middle. Here you can see Top 10 games of the last seven days or a month and also the amount of time users have played them. Next you have profiles of new members where you can add them as a friend or just send them a message. Finally you can also view the different games being played currently. The games are separated into various categories on the top and you can browse through different genres like action, strategy, racing, multiplayer and so on. Here's another little feature that I really liked, you can test your system against the games minimum and recommended requirements, which is good for novice users. There are other stats displayed on this page including the number of users that have played this game, their review of the game, etc.

No multiplayer sucks! and if you dont want any multiplayer, the only thing which comes to one's mind is piracy [If not looking forward to spend lots of money] These people should start the game renting/selling system! i will totally subscribe..
