Awesome! I played this Steve Jackson browser-based game called UltraCorps several years ago. It was more of a strategy type game but I can remember being fairly impressed by it at the time. I think there's still much untapped potential here.

The browser (HTML/Javascript) has such a wide reach in terms of the number of platforms supported. I'm not sure how much websockets improve over the AJAX method, I guess there's less overhead because it acts more like a lower level protocol.
