Amazon’s Digital Game Downloads Section Launches
Online shopping giant, Amazon.Com has just launched its Game Downloads section early this week. The site is offering about 600 titles each downloadable at $10 per game.
According to its Vice President of Video Games and Software, Greg Hart, the new service would benefit a lot of their customers, as the site offers a safer alternative to downloading, while consistently providing the same quality service and convenience to its loyal clientele.
Developers may also display their wares on the site, so the service work both ways.
Downloading a game will allow the user to test it for a full thirty minutes or so, before deciding if they want to get the full version or simply pass up.
As this is just the launched, full versions of games like Jewel Quest II, The Scruffs, an Built-A-Lot may be downloaded free of charge for a limited period.
The game selections aren’t popular titles, by the way, but casual games. According to Greg Hart, “Casual Games are a natural fit with our demographic. We have 88 million active customers who can appreciate the convenience of the true amazon shopping experience combined with the casual games experience.”
Eventually the game downloads section should widen its scope and may begin offering mainstream and popular titles in the future.
