The PS3 Home open beta just launched recently and I had the chance to try out the latest version of the software (1.03). Even though I have been in the beta for some time the latest version feels like a completely new experience.
If you read my previous article, I did talk down the value of the PS3 Home calling it useless. During my time within Home prior to 1.03, I felt like the whole experience was uneventful and almost forgettable. However, after version 1.03 the whole experience changed within Home.
For starters there are now lots of people everywhere. Previously, the Home square was a desolate place, because there was nothing to do there. Now the square is bustling with Home users everywhere. The square received a complete redesign, with a new saucer based game smack right in the middle of the area.
The saucer game is actually pretty entertaining, as any user can run up to the lake area and press 'X' to join in. The game is pretty challenging and quite difficult to get a high score. The music area inside the square now actually has a selection you can vote on to listen too. (Anybody manage to get a score above 350 in Saucer Pop?)
With the influx of users within Home, it just has a new fresh vibe that it didn't have before. I actually found some very interesting conversations going on within Home about games and movies.
Benjamin Rivers has suggested that it is “totally possible” for two of his titles — Alone With You and Home — to be ported to Nintendo Switch.
I recently published an article about beating my Steam backlog by getting organised and the first game I’ve completed with this new approach is Home.
I chose Home not because of its production values or reviews, but because, well, it’s short. I needed a game to start my new approach on the right foot and read that Home takes less than two hours to beat.
Whatever my reasons for finally installing Home, I found it to be an enjoyable yet flawed title.

Chess
Pool
Bowling....being my faves so far..;D
I got bored of Home within 10 minutes. So I decided to let my mom try it because she is probably closer to the target audience. I was right, it took her 5 minutes longer to get bored and say it was pointless.
3d virtual world to play pool, bowling and chess. think of it this way, if you are so insecure with yourself that you cant admit you like Home, pretend Sony just gave you free pool,bowling and chess games at no charge. Me personally, I find Home to be amazing and love game launching into warhawk and pool is very fun and addictive
Your right, absolutly right.. Infact, online gaming as a whole is pointless. I mean why play games like Madden or NBA online when you can just do it in real life. Infact i say do away with gaming period, afterall its for losers with no friends.
I hope you sense the sarcasm there. So if you really believe what your saying, that online gaming is pointless also
Played some saucer pop, pool, and Ice breakers ( unlocked some items), then talked to some people about the Dark Knight Blu-Ray and to some young lady who was hiding in the corner of one of the arcades from some guy who was following her around, she seemed cool enough, kind of made me laugh though.
