India Gaming market: Nunook, an awesome, Indian social gaming network

February 29, 2008 · Posted in Gaming India, India Social Networking, reviews 

The Indian gaming market seems to be on a roll lately - FX labs launched their PC game Agni, Trine Studios launched Streets of Mumbai, IndyaRocks launched their casual gaming section.

Each time you play a game, you earn points. This in turn, increases your ‘achievement level’ on the site. The higher the level, the more access you get to exclusive content on the site. Points not only get you access to exclusive content, they also enable you to change avatars, and buy collectibles - aka virtual goods. In other words, they earn you bragging rights. Simply put, points are the currency on Nunook.

Of course, you have the social network too. Add friends, invite friends, form teams and play games as a team. As a team, you can also participate in contests and win prizes.

All in all, I think Nunook is awesome. A well designed niche social network with a great level of engagement for the end user. Its great to see such cool sites finally emerging for the Indian audience.

Give it a spin and let me know your thoughts.

    I agree with you . Infact this is a much better way to build a social network than throwing up blank pages and asking users to signup. But i feel number of games are less on the website. They need to signup with other publishers to increase their game inventory.

    Yes, the site seems to be promising. Nice to see more people are joining in the gaming race. But as far as the points/Scoring is concerned I think Egglad (http://www.egglad.com) is the first one to implement this.

    @amit, yes…they need to build their game inventory. But, since they have just gone into beta, I hope it will change when they launch publicly.

    @sagar,
    egglad doesnt seem to be targeted towards indian gamers specifically.
