“What would it look like if Nintendo built Google Earth?” That’s the question used to describe Crackdown and APB developer Realtime World’s new project, a mix of social gaming, social networking and traditional gaming known as MyWorld.
Realtime Worlds’ endeavour to create a human avatar modelled on APB has reached its fifth and final stage: the outfitting. And Josh didn’t do so bad.
