Okay, we knew that Zune HD was to
have a racing game, but now we've got a name to put to the race.
According to Enrique Rodriguez, a Microsoft employee with another enormously long and important job title
*, speaking via the power of the
press release, "Later this year, Zune plans to release free applications such as Twitter for Zune and Facebook for Zune, in addition to fun 3-D games such as
Project Gotham Racing: Ferrari Edition,
Vans Sk8: Pool Service and
Audiosurf Tilt. Games can be added to Zune HD via Zune Marketplace over the Wi-Fi connection or when connected to the Zune PC software."
Hurrah for healthy competition... boo that we're still not getting it into Europe.
