Today Amazon is pleased to announce the beta launch of the Amazon Game Downloads store, their first step into the downloadable games space. Loaded with an ever-growing roster of casual gaming titles for your PC, the Amazon Game Downloads store features more than 600 games on day one, all priced under a tenspot at either $6.99 or $9.99. As a bonus for exploring our new Game Downloads store, for the next week they are offering three free, full-version games: Jewel Quest 2, The Scruffs and Build A Lot.

If you miss out on this launch offer, not to worry – every game in their store is available for a free 30-minute trial. They could tell you loads more about the range of games, and all the standard Amazon features you’d expect, but instead they will just say this: go play. Since this is a beta launch, you can expect two things: 1) Their Game Downloads store will continue to evolve over time, and 2) they are interested in your feedback on how they can improve it.
