Chrome at the Game Developers Conference? You bet.

They'll be showing off NaCl, which effectively turns the browser into a client that executes at native speed without demanding a common language (C/C++ works perfectly). NaCl games will be every bit as good as traditional installs, though run in the browser in a highly secure way.

WebGL is also an enticing technology for more casual games and web applications. There will be segments on WebGL as well.

Soon many more games may be web-apps, and I bet that Google is betting on this. They claim that there are 120M active users of the chrome web store, and games is the largest segment.

This is incredibly exciting news.
