On its blog yesterday, Amazon.com announced it was entering the highly competitive world of online casual games.
The beta launch of their download site features more than 600 games, all priced at either $6.99 or $9.99. Gamers visiting the site during the next week can download three games for free: Jewel Quest 2, The Scruffs, and Build a Lot (alas, none mysteries).
Any game may be downloaded for a free 30-minute trial.
When we visited, we found Treasures of Mystery Island, Private Eye: Greatest Unsolved Mysteries, Detective Stories: Hollywood, and Polly Pride: Pet Detective representing the mystery game category.
Although we regularly promote casual mystery games from Big Fish Games and PlayFirst Games, we strongly support Amazon.com's initiative. Competition is good, and this can only result in better, more interesting, less expensive mystery games for users to enjoy.
