A hacker managed to get through the HTML5 game running on Apple TV (2 G), after receiving the first jailbroken device and installed application couch surfer. (Couch surfer provides Web browser for the jailbroken Apple TV).
The game is a simple card game Blackjack, and frankly, it's not much to look at. However, adding a note, as it shows that Apple TV is a functional platform for applications based on HTML5.
Of course if Apple wants to open the Apple TV to support a wide range of HTML5 games and applications is another thing altogether. While HTML5 will provide an alternative to simple Flash-based games, it can also become a credible alternative to the Apple App Store applications in time, too. (AppleTV, currently running apps, but there are rumors that he will eventually).
Here is a video game in action:
