Canvas rider was the only one that really sticks out (which is actually based off free rider 2, minus the extra vehicles), The sketchpad or whatever was a chrome experiment, and I never heard of the music service.

A friend of mine just developed this bit.ly app for Chrome... Love LOVE it. When installed, you can just click a button in your browser to shorten a link.

Canvas Rider - "A rare and completely unique experience like never seen before"

Isn't it just line rider?

Actually it's based of free rider,
Line rider offers no control, other then where the lines go,
With Free rider you can control the bike with the arrow keys, and there are also checkpoints.
it's more of a game with custom levels.

"...SketPad is here to stay for long and cerate a huge fan base among those even with the slightest of the creative skills."

Proof read much?

Seems a bit lame to only direct this at chrome lovers,
IE9's examples are pretty good,
theshodo.com (while designed for IE9) works fine in the latest version of chrome, and while sketchpad might do the same thing (drawing) the shodo is actually more for caligraphy, which makes it neat.
Canvas Pinball
http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Graphics/CanvasPinball/Default.html
Is a neat concept as well, even though it's a little harder to see on some monitors.
it's designed with canvas and uses box2d for physics.
Mozilla Labs has a gaming contest, and while I can't guarentee the page will work in chrome (wierd slowness issues) firefox users are not totally left out either. https://gaming.mozillalabs.com/games/
I think the only problem with html5 compliance is browser support, but most of the standard parts (canvas, SVG, web fonts, audio/video) are all supported (I am aware of the formats issue with the video/audio, but it doesn't change that people still have to put browser support into play, as performance issues will spring up anyway)
