The newest update to the language of the internet is here, HTML5, and it’s amped up and in an offensive position ready to take on, or at least stand equal with, Adobe’s Flash. Flash has long been used to animate web pages and create games but now HTML5 is allowing the same benefits. HTML5’s open source and free to use; and while it has some teething problems like not working with old browsers, it is an emerging technology which will only improve as people’s understanding of it does. The potential of HTML5 for gaming is bearing down on the web like Mario on a Goomba and while the graphics may be basic, this is only the beginning. In this HTML5 gaming round-up, we take a look at five browser-based games built using HTML5, so make sure you’re using a browser that supports it like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox.
