Slap yourself for thinking what you were just thinking. InstantAction.com, created by Eugene Oregon based GarageGames, is a a web platform for playing multiplayer action games in a browser. If that disappoints you — well too bad, there are plenty of other sites on the web for the other stuff, not that we have personally visited any of them.

Wideload Shorts, a division of Wideload Games (a group of very cool guys we had the opportunity to meet at Gamecock’s EiEiO Conference in Santa Monica CA this year) has announced their support of the online gaming platform with the debut of Cyclomite, a fast-paced-action game where players pilot through relentless meteor storms in order to save the universe, due to hit InstantAction.com in early 2008.

If you live in the Eugene Oregon area, you can catch a preview of the game at GarageGames’ Independent Games Conference taking place today and tomorrow. Alex Seropian, the initial founder - President and CEO of Bungie Studios, who later founded Wideload Games, will be giving keynote speech at the conference.

Wideload team is really looking forward to meeting with fellow developers and game enthusiasts and showing them the first Wideload Shorts game at this year’s Independent Games Conference,” said Scott Corley, Director for Wideload Shorts. “And, of course, we are looking forward to heckling Alex when he’s giving his keynote.”

InstantAction.com is set to go live January 2008. If you try and visit the site right now you will be greeted by a page containing an iconic logo, email sign up box, and a link to the sites privacy policy.

“For InstantAction to succeed, we need to have the top Indie developers participating. So we are stoked to have Wideload bring us an original title,” said Josh Williams, CEO of Garagegames.com. “We haven’t stopped there. We expect other top developers to announce their support Instant Action in the coming months.”

Stay tuned as ripten plans on monitoring this site and their game line up very closely in the following months leading up to their launch.
