    PlayStation Home

    Game » consists of 1 releases. Released Dec 11, 2008

    PlayStation Home was a social games network where PSN users could play games and socialize. Home saw a refocus in Fall 2011 in North America and Europe that put more emphasis on games than social spaces.

    Is this a better version of Home?

    Most of us don't have many good things to say about Sony's Home.  It was designed as a social meeting place for Playstaion 3 owners, but has yet to deliver on many of the promises envisioned at its announcement.  Now along comes City of Sinners and Saints.  Another 3D social network, but with a different style and more robust options.  Do you think this is the way Home should have been?  Would you be more interested in a less realistic virtual world like Sinners and Saints?  Or is this all superfluous and you don't see the point to any of these virtual community playgrounds?

    For me, I'm not really that excited by the realism of Home.  What about the core world am I supposed to find engaging?  If Home was cartoonish or more fantastic (unrealistic), I might be drawn to it, at least, for the uniqueness of the environment.  I know they are now introducing "game rooms", but so far, nothing excites me there either.  I just wonder, if Home had taken a different approach, like Sinners and Saints, would it have been more well received by the gaming public?

    "Like in other social networking website people can add friends, chat with others and upload share photos. But unlike in the other sites this is done in an amusing manner".

    oh wow...

    "...the interaction between characters of a variety of animated gestures to engage other players..."

    OH MY FUCKING GOD!

    "...along with a number of pre*mumble mumble* motions!"

    HOLY SHIT!

    I don't see why we need to move around a virtual city to social network. I think its a waste of time. I would much rather just use twitter or facebook.

    What's wrong with just talking over msn or wherever.  Home is useless, and so is that program.

    I uh...was never into social-based-interactive games, so I don't think any of these games/downloads are better than each other.

    seriously, its no difference and seems to have the same fate as home as it stands today. soon home is going to start to get much better, for instance, EA's home space is fantastic and should be a big hit with the poker tables.
