Ever thought a browser based game could look that good?

Fallen Empire: Legions is a first person shooter (FPS) for the recently announced online platform, InstantAction.com. The game is developed by GarageGames and it has only one goal: to set a new benchmark of what the future of gaming will be on the Internet. It would be great if something like that would really happen and it's not all about a good marketing strategy: promise the Moon and offer some
dirt.

The game focuses on a team-oriented gameplay, combining a full freedom of movement with fast paced first-person combat and tactical strategy. And with the few released screenshots, that are "eye candies", it really proves that, at least visually, Fallen Empire is unlike any other MMO. Of course that the overall feeling and the gameplay matter a lot, so if you would like to help this game improve or at least you just want to give it a try, the registration window for the beta test is open and you can sign up on the official website.

"This is a first person shooter built by hardcore gamers who are wildly passionate about the genre," said Tim Aste, project director for Fallen Empire: Legions. "The game design allows for us to create a unique experience that brings FPS gaming back to its roots. Legions won't be just any ordinary jewel matching web game; in terms of graphics and gameplay it will set a new benchmark of what the future of gaming will be on the web."

And all these are possible because of the recently launched games network, InstantAction, who introduces a new technology which allows graphically rich, networked games to run in popular web browsers with no download installation. Josh Williams, CEO of GarageGames, explains:

"We created InstantAction to give ourselves and the rest of the development community an outlet to make the games they want to play. Rather than churning out sequels or licensed games, we're working with developers focused on creating cool gameplay."

The idea is quite great. To play free games in you web browser is an awesome idea. No more wating to install or download the game, no more paying. Overall, I think the people who made this idea pawn noobs!
