InstantAction at GDC

Here's some exciting news about InstantAction and some of the games you have been waiting for.  Visitors to the Game Developers Conference Expo this year will get to feast their eyes on the first public showing of InstantAction.com. 

“We are very excited to use GDC to lift the hood on InstantAction,” said Josh Williams, CEO of GarageGames/InstantAction.com. “We believe it’s important for the game development community to know how serious we are about creating an entirely new destination for playing high quality games on the web. It’s time for them to get their hands on it and hear about our upcoming plans.”

Located at Moscone North #5438, InstantAction.com will have the following events:
