HTML5 is being developed as the next major revision of HTML, the core markup language of the World Wide Web. Besides new elements like header, section, footer, etc., the HTML5 brings you the canvas element.
The canvas is a rectangular area within you can use Javascript to draw graphics or other visual images on a web page. Although HTML5 is not a W3C recommendation yet, people already started to play with it, and when I say play, I mean it.
Today I’ll share with you some awesome HTML5 games demos that show the HTML5 canvas potential.
Agent 008 Ball
Z-Type
RGB Invaders
Pacman
Spy Chase
Biolab Disaster
Wolfenstein 3D
Fred Jones in Adventureland
Asteroids

Final words
A common misconception is that HTML 5 can provide animation within web pages, which is totally untrue. Either JavaScript or CSS3 (or both) is necessary for animating HTML elements.
Awesome collection!
Are these games made using canvas & javascript?
Is there any way to use jquery in canvas?
Thanks for your comment Surendra!
Jquery is a Javascript library.Therefore, of course you can write Jquery code to draw things inside canvas.
I think HTML5 has a great expressive power. From what has been transmitted to the well that is presented here.

I just uploaded a 600X200 screen-shot image to http://asteroidsinc.com/stock/asteroidsinc.jpg on the off chance you would be willing/wanted to include the game in your above list.
Tidbit of useless info: Sometimes I go by “Red” as well
Thanks again
