Last week Microsoft released firmware 4.3 for the Zune HD which not only bought with it a raft of minor bug fixes and improvements but also support for “upcoming” 3D game … well, those games are now available, and they’re free.

There are six games on offer:

  • PGR: Ferrari edition
  • Lucky Lane Bowling
  • Vans Sk8: Pool service
  • Piano
  • Audio Surf: Tilt
  • Checkers

Games are available from Marketplace, and, as I mentioned earlier, are free.

Are free games enough to encourage buyers to give Zune a chance over a new iPod?
