Microsoft’s support for the Zune HD as a game playing device has been pretty abysmal. Luckily there are hackers, one of which has the beginnings of a serviceable Game Boy Advance emulator working on the device.
A batch of new, free, 3D games have shown up on the Zune Marketplace for the new Zune HD. How do titles like Audiosurf and Project Gotham Racing fare on Microsoft’s handheld?
This is agonising. I mean, on the one hand, my favourite racing series of all time – Project Gotham – has a new game coming. But on the other… it’s not for the Xbox 360. It’s for the Zune.

This alleged promo video for Microsoft’s new music player, the Zune HD, shows that while Microsoft aren’t exactly making a big deal out of it, the thing can definitely play games of some sort.
