Download First Zune Games - Here's How
Posted on 2:11 pm by Team Zune LuvBut it should be a lot of fun.
The XNA 3.0 Games Studio "Community Technical Preview" comes with the ability to "test" Zune games on any Zune with the 2.5 upgrade (or better obviously).
Basically you use the system to put the games on your Zune, play them/test them on you Zune and then go from there.
And, yes, they come with some "demo" games. We've played 'em and, darn it, they're kinda fun.
No cost at this point and a fun look at where Zune Games are going.
Now remember, this is a bit of a "hack" as the real purpose for this product is to test the XNA system against a Zune. But, you smart Zune Luvers know what to do, don't you?
If you've done it, please report your results below. Which is your favorite game?

My favorite game is tetris. Never gets old. What are these demo's you are talking about. From Microsoft? If so, where?

I disagree, it was quite easy, I was surprised at how hassle free MS made this and have already started work porting some of my games

I couldn't really figure out how to play the worms game on the zune. tetris is ok, there are a couple of good applications. I like the clock on it. you can still listen to music in your playlists while you have the clock app running. there are a couple others too that are good. Overall, the ability to play games on the zune at all is a big feat. It's cool to be one of the handfull of people to be able to know how to do that.
P.S. anyone looking on how to put games onto their zune can go to zuneboards.com or go to the zune.net forum section and there's a link on where to go to start getting games. Have fun and pass this info around and maybe people will make more games and expand on the possibilities that zune holds. ZUNE RULES!!!!
