Whether you’re into the whole social networking scene or not, chances are, you are into chat clients online. In fact, I’d say pretty much all of us use one. So the question becomes: Would you want an advanced version in your video game console?
Sony says yes. And, after finally getting my hands on their answer with Home , I can say that as an addition to the already free PlayStation Network, it’s a welcome distraction to the constant chaos of the usual gaming world.
As I walked around and talked with the various European types already immersed in this virtual world, I found myself already just losing myself in the application itself. It’s almost hypnotizing in the way it just feels like a soothing place to be.
Besides, doing the robot in front of an Irishman always means a good time in my book.
