Kindle games start to proliferate
The number of games in the Kindle Store is growing, with eight titles now available--and all of them are pretty popular.
Next is a puzzle matching game.
(Credit: Amazon)The Kindle as portable gaming platform? Seems like a misprint, but the number of Kindle games is growing, with a new one, Next, released today, and eight total in the Kindle Store.
The latest include Sudoku, Texas Hold'em Poker, and Panda Poet, a new word game in which words you form turn into pandas and the goal is "grow the biggest panda possible."
Due to the rudimentary nature of e-ink, none of these games are terribly sophisticated, but they're all big hits with Kindle users and some claim they are very addicting. A few games are free, but the newest releases cost $2.99 or $3.99.
As for Next, it's a matching puzzle and the first Kindle game from a company called Mobigloo.
Anybody playing games on the Kindle? Or is this just silly?
