Looks like The Sims 2 Online. Speaking of which those pics just made me wanna reinstall The Sims 2 on my PC.

I was actually thinking of that last night. Home really does look less like a Second Life knockoff (as someone previously mentioned) and more like a Sims knockoff.

The problem with this is that the Sims actually has goals and gameplay while Home is nothing more than a portal. Sure, the Sims goals are all user defined, but they are still there and give you a reason for being there. Home is a portal to your media, games, or chat room and that's it.

And I'm done typing for the day, my Celtic Woman: A New Journey DVD arrived today so it's time to listen to my bad music and clean.

its more like a sims clone than a Second Life clone but with the gameplay of Portal?

Now that sounds cool.

Portal as in a portal to your media, not Portal as in the game Portal. :-p
