While visiting Egypt I went into a Virgin store, and had fun browsing the media found there. In films and books there was a wide selection of both English language as well as Arabic language offerings. But in videogames, not so much. A few game boxes had some Arabic captions, but I couldn’t find any specifically Arabic or Egyptian games. Anyone out there know of any?
