I've implemented Microdata with Schema.org for my online game.

I've tested it on Google's test tool, and it seems to work.

If you go to Schema.org, you can see that both VideoGame and WebApplication types come from SoftwareApplication. Then, as my HTML5 games are both video games and web applications, what is the best option?

VideoGame would be most appropriate as it is a Game, but you can include VideoGame and WebApplication so you can use the properties of both.

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/VideoGame">
<link itemprop="additionalType" href="http://schema.org/WebApplication">
<h1 itemprop="name">Game Name</h1>
<span itemprop="browserRequirements">…</span> <!-- A WebApplication property -->

</div>


Google Structured Data Testing Tool doesn't appear to support this however.
