Does anyone know of any online computer games where Chinese is spoken?

I feel like it would be fun to be a part of a Chinese MMO or something of the like.

Even just an arcade game that you play online, and it's in Chinese, would be cool too.

It's not quite as fun as an arcade game or an MMORPG, and it's a little tricky to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing sometimes (that might just be my low level of Chinese comprehension), but check out http://enterzon.com/. I've only played about an hour of it over 3 occasions, but it might be helpful if you have some free time.

I am not affiliated with the site in any way other than having used it briefly.

[The World of Chinese]

There are tons, include many popular Western MMOs like World of Warcraft, or strategy games like Starcraft 2. The trouble is just getting connected to those servers. But there are also tons of free-to-play domestic MMOs. Check out for example, these two articles, which list some of the most popular games from the past few years:

Additionally, casual online gaming is quite popular, and games like Happy Farm (the game Farmville copied) and Plants vs. Zombies are popular here. So if you don't want to go to the trouble of downloading and learning a complex MMO, just get a 校内 account, get your Chinese friends to add you, and then start a game of Happy Farm.

If you do play MMOs, keep in mind it may not be a great way to learn Chinese. The language people use in games is just as full of internet and game-specific slang and references as it is in English-language games, so a lot of the "words" you learn may not be very useful in real life...

As for the "Zon" game mentioned above...I tried it once and to be honest found it really boring and difficult to use. I wouldn't recommend it.

Over here Gleaves mentions a point-and-click adventure, 谜画之塔. Not quite what you were looking for, but. . .

This thread on video games has some good info. I just bumped it with some links. Let us now if you end up playing something, Xuesheng.
