Mac users get ready to stand up and cheer or ... at least smile. InstantAction, the 3D browser-based online gaming site, has extended its current beta to Mac users. Established in late March 2008 by developer GarageGames, InstantAction treats PC users to a collection of free "console-quality games," all within a web browser.

Launching with four titles, the Mac version of InstantAction doesn't have as robust a library as its PC counterpart but is expected to expand. Users are required to sign up to play but registration is free. Available now for InstantAction Mac is: the first-person shooter Fallen Empire: Legions; future-sport, Rokkitball; the tank warfare title ThinkTanks and fan favorite Marble Blast Online.

GarageGames continues to expand on their recently launched web browser based game network InstantAction.com and tonight the game developer/publisher will launch an all new game for the service, Rokkitball. This new multiplayer oriented game had us at its description of "football with rocket launchers and magno-beams". We are so there for that kind of game.

Do you want more info? Sure, why not. The game itself was developed internally at GarageGames and features support for up to eight human players (bot players will fill the blanks if a match is lacking in humans). GarageGames hopes that Rokkitball will combine the fast pace of a shooter with the strategy that's needed in a team sport game. The developer also plans to add content to the game in the months ahead including adding more stadiums and more support for team customization features. The released screenshots for the game show a visual look that recalls the movie Rollerball (the first one, not the awful remake). If you want to check out Rokkitball, you can sign up to play the game with the open beta of InstantAction.com at its web site.
