Realtime Worlds to launch Project MyWorld virtual world game platform

Realtime Worlds, the developers behind the recently released video games All Points Bulletin and Crackdown, are setting their sites on a new social experiment that will recreate the entire world into a full-on game space. The project, dubbed Project: MyWorld, will combine 3D gaming with social media to create a new type of experience. It is a platform upon which games can be built.

“Project: MyWorld turns the real world into a fun 3D social gaming experience,” the site explains. “Project: MyWorld is a virtual recreation of the real world combined with 3D gaming and social media.” See Industry Gamers for more.
