Your web browser as a gaming platform: Can InstantAction deliver?

Currently in open beta, InstantAction is a platform designed by Garage Games that is said to deliver "console quality" videogaming experiences streamed through a standard web browser. For anyone either chained to a desk or if you find yourself in front of a web browser more than your television, InstantAction sounds like a Godsend.

So Destructoid decided to sign up and take InstantAction's available games for a quick spin. While Destructoid don't see it replacing their Xbox 360 any times soon, Garage Games is already delivering some impressive gaming experiences inside a tiny Internet browser.

Castle Crasher is one of the worst games on XBLA? Is this guy on crack?

vgn244782d ago

I agree that he'd have to be on something, but maybe you should have read it. Doesn't appear that the guy said Castle Crashers was the worst.

Derekvinyard134782d ago

Castle crashers isnt even on there!!

darthv724782d ago

some of them are indie games. Yeah there are some stinkers on the indie side as there is on the regular side.

Not all indie games are bad though. Diamonds in the rough if you will.

He/she just put the pic to get hits Raichu50 is a LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!

antz11044782d ago

LOL at the total flamebait pic to get people to read,CC wasn't even on there.

Low tactic author, very low indeed.

B1663r4782d ago

He should have chosen a Yaris logo instead of Castle Crashers, because Castle Crashers is one of the best games this gen.

READ IT! The pic was meant to get attention at most, Got mine.

Neko_Mega4782d ago

Castle Crasher isn't on this list, I think this person used it to get hits.

Other then that I think I list is right on the dot, but using Castle Crasher pictue was kind of bs.

BeaRye4782d ago

How in the F is that Doritos game not on there? It's absolute garbage.

oddexarcadia4782d ago

You have to keep in mind that this is from someone who used the Castle Crasher pic to get attention for their article.

darthv724782d ago

i have the first one but never really played it. The crash course one is pretty fun though. Sort of a mix of ninja warrior and wipeout.

dash of destruction...had to think a minute. Seeing as i never played it i cant say one way or the other. It was free and for a free game that is better than Yaris it cant be all that bad.

antz11044782d ago

Dude for a free game Crash Course is pretty fun and addicting.

IDK, did Doritos have another game I didn't know about?

darthv724782d ago

crash course is the latest one with avatar support. The first one was called dash of destruction and it was some kind of trex running around breaking stuff in a top down type of view.

It might still be on xbla for free.

antz11044782d ago

I did not know that, thanks Darth!

KaBaW4782d ago (Edited 4782d ago )

I don't know of the game you are talking about.. but, if I'm not mistaken, they (Doritos) had another game, for XBLa. This game was played with four(4) teams of two players, or with bots, where one player drove a vehicle around a track in a race, using a select of 4 vehicles. The other player controlled turrets, that were placed around the track, to shoot at and destroy the contending teams vehicles or gunners. Whilst the driver tried to avoid the gunners, and to remain in first place (obviously) while picking up 'abilities.' Such abilities were that of one giving your vehicle a shield, one that upgraded your gunners turrets, one downgraded the contending gunners turrets, and one for a boost (I believe).

Fun game, I say. It's called Harm's Way. It's free.

Tikicobra4782d ago

Wow, that's the most pathetic attempt at getting views I've seen in quite a while.

BeaRye4782d ago

I think (at least hope) that it's a "contrast" thing meaning Castle Crashers is awesome.

Weirdest exclusive game on 360 that you can get for $1 is Sneak King... Burger King game and you play as a creeper.

1UP Previews Cyclomite

1UP writes: "Over the years, Wideload has built up a reputation for funny games, with thus far one about a zombified traveling salesman and another about animal kingdom politics. So when we sat down to check out Cyclomite yesterday -- the first game from the company's new "Shorts" division -- we were surprised to find a lack of humor.

As it turns out, there's a very good reason for the shift. Because Cyclomite is coming out on GarageGames' InstantAction web browser platform, the developers decided to keep each session short to allow people to hop in and out for a few minutes at a time, rather than go over the top with the cut-scenes and crazy scenarios that make up much of the humor in Wideload's other games".
