Tinker and Hold ‘em coming to Games for Windows

Tinker and Hold ‘em coming to Games for Windows – for free!

Have you taken the time to poke around your Windows 7 start menu yet? If not, you may have missed the “More Games from Microsoft” entry under the Games folder.

Click the shortcut, and you’ll be whisked away to a web page offering some additional games you can download. Right now there are three: Peggle, Ranch Rush, and Bumper Stars.

Two more titles are coming soon. Tinker (the awesome puzzler you can see in action in the video above) and Hold ‘Em (for you poker fans out there) are set to be released in the very near future.

Now, this news isn’t going to make all Windows users smile. It’s probably going to rub some Vista Ultimate owners the wrong way – since Tinker and Hold ‘Em were two of the oft-talked-about-and-rarely-seen Ultimate Extras.
