Bored at work? Need a break from tooling around the interwebs? Looking for a little digital battle?

Welcome to the wonderful world of weewar.com. Request and invite. Set up a user name. Do battle and talk trash on complete strangers in an online version of Risk, but you know, cooler. Build forts. Build fighting forces. Takeover bases. All in the name of entertainment. The great part about it is that it’s super strategic and the 16 bit graphics totally downplay any association with wanton violence that happens to be ensuing on screen.

The absolute best thing about it, is that you can set time limits from five minutes to three days per turn, so that even if you’ve got other stuff to do you can still get a few rounds in over the course of an eight hour work day, and your boss will never be the wiser.

Which is nice for those putting in their 40 hours this week.

A word of warning though: This is seriously the most addictive game that i’ve ever played. And coming from someone with as an addictive personality as I’ve got (no comments from the peanut gallery here), that’s saying something.

I give it: ****** on a scale of five.
