60 IO Games! Ultimate IO Game List
In the recent years a new category of massive multiplayer games that usually can be directly played in your browser became popular. The so called "IO Games". This List brings them all together!

With this list i want to provide a simple interface for people to post, vote and comment IO games in a nice environment. As simple as possible :) I hope you like our idea, and if so make sure to share our site with your friends and social networks.
