Portalarium Player Enables Console Game Ports On Facebook

Following shortly after the launch of Portalarium two weeks ago, game design legend Richard Garriot has taken his first big step and launched the Portalarium Player for Facebook. The Portalarium player allows games that were developed on various engines, consoles and platforms to run as applications within Facebook. Judging by the quality of their flagship title, Sweet @$! Poker’, Portalarium games may successfully bring the console game experience to Facebook.

To play a game that uses the portalarium player, you are asked to download an add-on for your browser.
