Microsoft Details Windows Phone Game Plan
The first wave of Xbox Live games for Windows Phone 7 will hit the market later this year
Microsoft late on Monday announced the first wave of Xbox Live games that will be made available for Windows Phone 7, when the first smartphones running the new operating system hit the market later this year.
Although games are just one part of Microsoft's app strategy when it comes to Windows Phone, Redmond is counting on games--and Xbox Live tie-in in particular, to be a key selling point for Windows Phone.
The Windows Phone 7 devices will be the first products outside of a PC or the Xbox itself to connect to Xbox Live. Gamers will be able to see their Gamerscore, earn achievements, and play games that tie into the Xbox Live online service.
