Games flood the Zune Marketplace

Its offering might not yet be quite broad enough to rival some of the more established players in the market, but Microsoft’s MP3player/iPodKiller/portableXbox multimedia device Zune has taken its first tentative steps into the games market with the arrival of a number of 3D games on its digital storefront.
Live and free to download right now are Project Gotham Racing: Ferrari Edition, Lucky Lane Bowling, Vans Sk8: Pool Service, Piano, Checkers, and Audiosurf: Tilt.
Whilst it might seem easy to interpret the move as a strategically important one for Microsoft, the Xbox platform holder has done all it can to down-play the belief that it aspires to one day rival Apple’s vast achievements in the portable games space.

There’s still no firm release date for the Zune HD in the UK.
