Today, GarageGames has revealed their new first-person shooter, Fallen Empire: Legions. A quick glance at the screenshots in the gallery certainly won't blow your mind; it certainly looks to be an average (and generic looking) first-person shooter. But there's a catch -- the game will be delivered through a web browser, through a new platform found at InstantAction.com.

"Legions won't be just any ordinary jewel matching web game," says Fallen Empire: Legions' project direction, Tim Aste. "In terms of graphics and gameplay, it will set a new benchmark of what the future of gaming will be on the web."

Hey! I kind of like those jewel matching games, Tim, but I'm up for anything. I'm also not sure how all of this is going to work, as my browser sometimes crashes when I load YouTube. Shortly, we should all get a chance to check out Fallen Empire: Legions' strategic, team-oriented gameplay first hand -- you can sign up for the beta test now at the official InstantAction Web site.

3D MULTIPLAYER FIRST PERSON SHOOTER COMING TO THE WEB IN EARLY 2008                                                                                         

EUGENE, OREGON – January 17, 2008 – After months of rumors and a recent video leak on the web, GarageGames today announced initial details for Fallen Empire: Legions, a first person shooter for the recently announced 3D online game platform, InstantAction.com.   

“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.”

"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," said Josh Williams, CEO of GarageGames. "Fallen Empire: Legions will be InstantAction's most advanced example of this so far. Marrying core games with the accessibility and social power of the web is a huge step forward in the industry, and I personally can't wait for this game to be released so I can hop on and start playing everyone."

Developed internally by GarageGames, Fallen Empire: Legions combines distinctive freedom of movement with fast paced first-person combat to create strategic, team-oriented gameplay. The InstantAction platform has allowed Fallen Empire: Legions to leverage the best of what the web has to offer, creating an evolving experience for players that can constantly be improved upon.
