won will be determined by the number of lines and
sides of the same colour.

Virgin Games partners with GDI to launch "A World
Of My Own" 3D Online Gaming Platform
Downloading
of video games is to grow rapidly after the launch
of a new platform that aims to replicate the functionality
of iTunes, making it quicker and cheaper for gamers
to download their favourite games.
Virgin
Games and Game Domain International (GDI) today announce
the successful completion of live tests for delivering
a wide range of PC games on a 3D 'virtual world' platform.
The
platform offers many key advantages over existing
technologies - including rapid download speeds enabling
play within minutes instead of hours, far greater
security, and improved ease of use for the customer.
The
platform's name - A
World of My Own (AWOMO) is expected to significantly
accelerate the growth of the total games market -
already valued at $25b* making it bigger than the
movie industry. AWOMO will initially make money on
a pay per play or subscription basis.
Sir
Richard Branson, Chairman of Virgin said: "This
is a really exciting development for us, as it gives
us the opportunity to do for PC Games what iTunes
has done for music. The GDI technology will revolutionise
how the mass market will play games, and will give
them more choice for less money."
The
PC games industry is plagued by high distribution
costs and piracy which has hampered the growth of
this market. Several of the world's major games publishers
have already registered their support. The Koch Media
Group, Europe's largest PC games distributor, working
with major brands such as EA, Ubisoft and Deep Silver,
were one of the first to witness this new technology
in action. At the recent demonstration, their reaction
was so enthusiastic that negotiations are already
underway to sign off on a range of games to be made
available on AWOMO when it launches.
Koch
Media are one of the pioneers of on line distribution
and work with e–tailers such as Metaboli and
Gamesload and have many years experience in on line
delivery but are constantly looking for ways to improve
their service.
Roger
Bennett, former director of ELSPA, the games industry
association, said: "After twenty one years in
the computer and video games industry, I can honestly
say I have recently seen in operation the most unique
technology that can bring the most potential value
to the industry."
Chris
Gorman OBE, director of GDI, says, "The highly
alluring combination of being able to download a game
in minutes instead of the existing standard few hours
and the promoted mega cash prize gaming tournaments
will create a Mecca of opportunities for sponsors
and promoters to target the vast gaming community."
GDI
intend to launch their AWOMO platform later in 2007
with a large selection of games available in order
to meet the huge international demand expected.

Screen Digest, ABI research, PwC, NPD and Chartrack.
