While the Zune is pretty adept and sharing files wirelessly and keeping you occupied with audio and video, it really falls short in the other entertainment segment - games. Thankfully, Microsoft will soon take advantage of its wireless capability to introduce that element into gaming. Hopefully we will see more genres going against the grain on the Zune/Zune 2, instead of the standard puzzle games you find on the iPod. Zauri, a top-down shooter from XNA Game Studio was recently paraded

at GDC ‘08 while running on a Zune 2 - so we could see more engaging gaming titles coming our way in the near future. Some features include :-

• Local ad-hoc wireless play with up to 8 Zunes
• User can customize in-game music from selection on the Zune
• Cross-platform multi-player is not supported
