Fantage vs Sinespace
Fantage
Fantage is a fun 2D virtual world game where players get to chat and meet new friends, dress their avatars up fashionably, maintain an active in-game "social media profile", and explore the vast and fantastical world of Fantage. In this game, you are also given a virtual home to not only decorate but to host wild parties in by inviting every player on the server. There are plenty of games for you to play, achievements to earn, collectibles to... well, collect, and for those who long for a cute furry friend, you can even hatch or adopt adorable pets! Fantage also has a competitive side – it has a ranking system for the best dressed, the best home decorator and the best gamer.So, if you fancy your chances of getting these coveted and hotly-contested titles, you should absolutely sign up and compete. Fantage is one of the most entertaining 2D virtual worlds we've played so far. If you're into this sort of games, you should definitely drop by and take a look!

Sinespace
Sinespace is a pretty remarkable, brand-new virtual world game where you can literally be anyone you like, create anything you like, and explore anywhere you like! Setting itself as a direct competitor of Second Life, this game has so much more to offer and it is creator-friendly way too. Not only it is free, creators will almost have unlimited resources to do so and on a platform (Unity3D) that’s as good as it gets. Granted that you’ll probably need to spend hours poring over the game’s documentation and tutorial videos on YouTube to creating something, all the effort you put in will be very well worth it. There are already a couple of creators on board and they have been busy making some items for players to use.Of course, like most virtual world games, there are many worlds for you to explore as well. You can even create your own world and customize it to your liking... or you can simply use one of the several pre-build homes available.
All in all, Sinespace is definitely a strong competitor to Second Life and IMVU especially once it’s fully fleshed out and launched. If you’re interested to get a head start, you can download the game now and start creating!
