PlayStation 2 Game may be Withdrawn from India
Recently, Hanuman: Boy Warrior for PlayStation 2 was released in India, but it was immediately met with backlash from the Universal Society of Hinduism. The game is based on a Hindu god, Lord Hanuman, and the Hindu organization is calling for a withdrawal and apology from Sony for releasing the game.
The organization said that being able to control Lord Hanuman with a controller was denigration, and using the god for commercial use would only hurt its followers.
In response, Sony said they would review the situation, and will be dealing with it as soon as possible.

iPhone’s Flight Control controls Tons of Sales
The iPhone has become extremely popular as a portable gaming device, and only gets more and more popular as time passes. Well, you can see the popularity through many games the device offers, and one of those is a little game called Flight Control.
The creators of Flight Control, FireMint, have done a fantastic job as their “baby” has sold over 700,000 units in under two months. The game seems to be very popular and with a price tag of only 99 cents, it was destined to sell a few.
The game is controlled by its flight controller, you, as you guide the aircraft’s path to the runway with your finger. Firemint is also working on a racing game for the platform as we speak, but it has been delayed a little while to polish it up some more.
