For the last week, rumors have been swirling about Virgin’s return to the gaming world. Virgin Interactive was once a big player in the business, releasing several major titles in the ’90s. It didn’t keep pace with the rapidly changing market and quickly fell apart at the end of that decade. Fortunately Sir Richard Branson, chairman of the Virgin Group, is a billionaire and can afford to fund another foray into gaming.
A lot has changed since Virgin Interactive was around. It will be interesting to see how Virgin Gaming will be different than its predecessor. It certainly has the opportunity to take advantage of a weak market and shake things up with a huge infusion of cash. I just wish it didn’t use that stupid countdown clock gimmick.
What do you expect from Virgin Gaming? Does the Virgin brand mean anything to you? Will the company focus on consoles, downloads, or social games? Any guesses as to what (specifically) the clock is counting down to?
Wow I could have SWOOORRRNN you liked countdown clocks >_> lol.
Speaking of gaming in general: Sandrock, did you know about Last Remnant finally hitting shelves for PS3 or am I dreaming? I noticed the release date on Gamespot said it was yesterday or some crap.
I think it's going to be another one of those gamer dating sites… hence the name Virgin Gaming.
@N8R
haha, seems appropriate.

I really know nothing about Virgin Gaming and don't know what to expect from them.
I fully expect Social Gaming from them and nothing more.
It looks like it'll be matchmaking. They have some deal with Sony Canada for ModNation Racers.
