BBC NEWS | Technology | Boom times for virtual playgrounds
Research suggests that there are about
158 online games and virtual worlds in development or up and running designed specifically for children.
While some of that total are recognisable games, most should be classified as virtual worlds, said Joey Seiler, editor of Virtual Worlds News, who drew up the exhaustive list.
Although these worlds, such as Club Penguin and Neopets, have games in them they are more an environment children can explore via their avatar.
“There are things to play with, like monkey bars or virtual snowballs, but it’s up to the kids to figure out what to do with them,” said Mr Seiler.
