Still playing the sims? It’s time to get real life.
I’ve always loved games like The Sims because it’s really neat controlling someone else’s life for a change. If you mess up it isn’t the end of the world- you simply start over and try not to screw up again. Unfortunately, there comes a time when sitting in front of a computer and helping your virtual avatar go to the bathroom becomes old. When that time comes there’s Cubeworld, a revolutionary virtual character that’s interactive and responsive. Think of it as a Tamogochi on steroids.
What makes Cubeworld so cool is that you can buy as many of them as you want and link them together. Once linked, they’ll be able to interact play, and hang out with each other. How cool is that? I’ve come home to find my Cube’s duking it out, playing basketball, and having fun with the dog. The level of interactivity is amazing, and even if you only have one there’s still nothing quite as neat as watching your virtual cubonians (is that what they’re called?) interact with you, hang out, and generally have a good time.
Cool Technology
Cubeworld is equipped with motion sensing, so feel free to rattle your cubonians around a little bit- they’ll flail about like rag-dolls. You can play games with it, wave and say hello, and even jam to music with it. The real fun starts when you add a second, third, fourth, or more cubonians, as your Cubeworld just went from one cubonian to multiple cubonians. I can’t wait for the day when they start having BBQ’s and wild parties.
Technical information:
Now you should be able to find Cubeworld characters at your local toy store, but don’t forget to check out eBay.
