I recently had a chance to see a ton of the games that will be shown off at E3 next week. There's a lot of great looking stuff, and easily one of the standout titles I saw was Gameglobe. I initially ignored it because the reveal PR email about it contained the words "free-to-play" and "browser based." There's a stigma associated with both those phrases, and a combination of the two just made me instantly delete the email.

So I'm really happy that I got to see Gameglobe with my own eyes as it shows a very promising future of what browser based games could achieve. Imagine the creation mechanics of Sim City, Minecraft and LittleBigPlanet all rolled into one, and it's all free-to-play. Now take that to another level, where you can share the games created in Gameglobe as easily as you would share a YouTube video. You just jump right into a game, no registration required.
