India needs a good casual games portal

Do you play casual games?? Hold on dude - what are casual games?? Well that would be the answer from most of my Indian friends as no one in India is exposed to the fun and addiction of these so called casual games. Though there would be lakhs of Indian surfers visiting & playing on Yahoo Games, MSN Zone or Pogo but they don't find them part of the community there hence they just dont understand the real power of casual games portal. Casual games portal worldwide are attracting zillions of visitors every month as they are getting more and more innovative by offering better games & community features.
So why dont we Indians realize that casual games are such a phenomena? One, they relate to the community there and secondly they find their susbcription models and offerings targetted towards their local visitors (americans and europeans) and lastly the content may not be suitable to Indian users for example games like Backgamman or Mahjong. There are many

Indian games sites like Indiatimes Games and Games 2 Win are there but they dont even come closer to foreign sites in terms of content and overall user experience. This signifies that India needs a good casual gaming portal which is as good as any international games site and is targeting towards Indians when it comes to susbcriptions, community and content. I am a game freak and I love spending time online playing casual games but it would have been great if I would have got a chance to play pool against Sonia or Pooja or Priya rather than Samantha, Angelina or Macy :-)

Let me know if you all are looking forward to such an India casual games portal???
