The boss of Virgin's new digital download site A World Of My Own (AWOMO) believes that the venture can outclass Sony's much-lauded PS3 Home project. Users were invited to register for the Beta of the site this week.
And now AWOMO?creator Games Domain International has told MCV that the download speed of the site will put next-gen consoles to shame – and that it can reach half a million subscribers this year.
"We have had a few emails from people who have already registered and are impressed that we seem to have pulled off a 'me too' model of PS3 Home for PC. But they will have to wait and see how good this will get. In terms of download speed, Home is very much what we have got used to in the 21st Century. AWOMO will make that look prehistoric."
The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them
2.
Dmc.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
The Epic Games Store continues to dish out free games and you can add two more to your library this week.
ps3 has home made by sony.
pc has awomo made by virgin.
i would put it on 360 too if i were a virgin.
my opinion.
wow, sony is making home lets try to out do it an make an RPG an call it a friend to friend service.
Who cares and why is this news? I'm sure that you can't instantly jump into a multiplayer game from this virgin's AWOMO. Stop comparing things that aren't even available to the public yet!
HOME is a community service that's all. Its a game-service, not a game
in itself. Yes you can play a great number of arcade games, snooker
and maybe bowling it there but its just not about competition. So,
HOME's appeal just can not be denied as a full-on "next-gen online"
service.
HOME's edge will be Sony's great influence on market and their
inter-relations with all the movie studios and game-devs. This means
exclusive and unbreakable chain of content supply. I don't see Virgin
getting all that support and attenion. Virgin's world might kill
second-life but HOME is an integration and extention of PS3 itself !!!
So don't be so quick to count them out, the bad part for sony competing with this new IP is anyone who was planning to get a ps3 just for the community aspect of it will consider this over the ps3 especially if virgins hype machine go full force
