阅读详细介绍

The D.I.C.E. Award for Online Game of the Year is an award presented annually by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences during the D.I.C.E. Awards. This award "celebrates titles of any genre with a significant portion of the gameplay experience transpiring online — collaboratively or competitively. These titles frequently offer excellent matchmaking systems, innovative gameplay options, persistent content releases that further evolve gameplay, user customization and fluidity of gameplay. Titles submitted in this category are not limited to release within the calendar year but must be supported by significant new content". All active creative/technical, business, and affiliate members of the Academy are qualified to vote for this category. The first winner was Ultima Online at the 1st Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. It is the only "Game of the Year award" that also has been offered as a genre award and craft award.

The award's most recent winner is ARC Raiders, developed and published by Embark Studios.

Content/Genre Award

Online Game of the Year was originally offered as a content award for the "Online content awards" subset with categories Entertainment Site of the Year and News/Information Site of the Year. The 2nd Annual Interactive Achievement Awards (1999) had multiple genre-specific "Online content awards." Only one online award was offered for 2000. It would be renamed Online Gameplay of the Year in 2001.

Craft Award

At the 8th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, the award for Online Gameplay was reintroduced as a craft award. The Outstanding Achievement in Online Gameplay, is "presented to the individual or team whose work represents the highest level of achievement in online gameplay in an interactive title. These titles frequently offer excellent matchmaking systems, innovative gameplay options including collaborative and competitive gameplay, user customization and fluidity of gameplay." An additional craft award, the Outstanding Achievement in Connectivity, was introduced for the 15th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. This award is "given to the property or title that best demonstrates innovation in connection mechanics across varied platforms. This is typically exemplified through the expansion of a story or narrative through complementary elements across two or more platforms (e.g. Console/Facebook or Console/Mobile Device)". Both awards would be voted by programmers.

Social Networking/Web Based Game of the Year

A genre award for Social Networking Game of the Year was introduced for the 2010 awards. Social networking games were defined as games that "connect people through a collective game experience, allowing quick, easy, and fun interactions between real-life friends". The genre category for "Social Networking" was not offered for 2013, and a "Game of the Year" award for Web Based Game of the Year was offered. Web based games were described as "titles played within a web browser and can include a variety of genres such as social networking games, MMOs, RPGs, Action games. These titles are tailored to the technical parameters of web browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox) and demonstrate a skilled usage of linking, sharing, and work equally well across multiple form factors and input mechanisms". Web Based Game of the Year was featured in the rules & procedures for 2014, but there were not any finalists named for the category.
