high-quality free-to-play, download-free browser-based game. Battlestar
Galactica Online is licensed through Universal Partnerships & Licensing, on
behalf of the NBC Universal Television Consumer Products Group. The game will

mold into an exciting MMOG experience," explains Jan Wergin, CTO of Bigpoint
