Amazon climbs on board free-to-play, MMO bandwagon with Game Connect

20110720amazon

Hot off yesterday’s Game Centre Kindle Fire announcement, Amazon has more gaming goodness up its sleeve. The retail giant has expended its marketplace to include free-to-play and MMO games via a system called Game Connect. The platform allows users to make in-game purchases via an existing Amazon account, giving the site a cut off the profit and providing another secure payment option for nervy gamers. World of Tanks, Super Monday Night Combat and Pandora Saga are already on board; find out more here.

Thanks, Gamasutra.

Red Dead Redemption is free from Amazon when you buy Max Payne 3

red-dead-redemption-oxcgn14

Amazon has a really good deal going on at the moment if you are in the market for Max Payne 3 on PS3 or Xbox 360. Should you pick the game up today, and today only, you will receive Red Dead Redemption for free. This is a particularly nice deal if you don’t have either yet. We think this is US only at the moment, but we’re checking on the UK end. If it’s available there as well, we’ll update the post. Thanks, Joystiq.
