Google’s new “Native Client” tech lets developers compile high-end programs to run directly in a Chrome browser window. One of the first companies to take advantage of this is Supergiant Games, who has released its PC/XBLA hit Bastion to the Chrome Web Store.
If you’re running Chrome, and you meet the system requirements, trying out the new version is as simple as opening that link and hitting “Launch App.” If it works well for you, you can purchase it for $14.99 and take your saved progress to any Chrome browser on any computer you happen to use. It worked pretty well for us — on a Mac!
