Earlier today, Amazon officially announced the beta version of their Game Downloads store. They currently have over 600 games catalogued, all of which are priced at $10 or less. As an added bonus, they are giving away the full versions of Jewel Quest II, Built-A-Lot, and The Scruff; completely free for the next week. Each game in the store has a timed trial, which allows you to try the game for 30 minutes before you actually have to buy it, which is a nice feature.
I haven’t had a chance to check this out yet, but it seems like a really cool idea. The only downside I can see is that they only offer casual games right now, though that could change depending on whether or not the beta is successful. Anyways, if anyone here has used it, be sure to post a comment and let us know how it is.
