Microsoft Releases Nine New Apps For Zune

Not a fan of all things Apple and you just refuse to buy an iPod? Perhaps you’re a Microsoft loyalist and you went for their Zune MP3 player instead. Well if you’re still using the Zune, it looks like Microsoft has released several new apps for you – nine new apps to be exact. They consist of six brand new games, two handy utilities and one entertainment app. Compared to the release of just two apps on the 1st of April, this update looks massive. One of the apps, Echoes, is made by Halfbrick Studios, the same company that developed the hit iOS game, Fruit Ninja.

Continue reading after the break to see the apps that came with the update.
