We'll lock the Online Beast up in his cave with nothing but turkey sandwiches and a high-speed connection. He won't come out until he's reviewed as many free online boardgames as he can find!
It's too early to tell whether certain online games, which made their debut in cyberspace, cross the divide to the real world and become manufactured board games. World of Warcraft, a popular MMORPG game, spawned the World of Warcraft board game, so there is a precedent for this.
Online games will be reviewed somewhat differently. Our footprint rating system has had a subtle makeover to reflect the difference between real and online gaming. We'll approach them assuming you will be playing alone at your computer (which is really the point) and also make our rating reflect the game's waiting area, ranking system (if any) and how faithful a representation it is of the original game, if it's been converted to the online market from an existing board game.
