The top 20 HTML5 games

I see alot of HTML5 games, some really very good ones on many lists, but what i still dont see is many multi-player versions of the same games, or just multiplayer games ,period.

I know that with the advent of architectures like Node.js this is a very real possibility so i'm very surprised i havent seen more in this space. I would have thought this is a market that's getting ready to explode(?)

I've worked on a few prototypes for games built with Node.js and HTML5, but one hurdle I kept running into is how to prevent cheating/exploitation. Turns out, with JavaScript, it's a (mostly) insurmountable problem, since any client-side communication/action is inherently script-able.

Hmm. Interesting. I had never considered that possibility before. Is this a problem with the single player HTML5 games as well? I presume this is a possibility wherever javascript is part of the game logic?
