Zune players now come with a selection of fun, free games. Play Texas hold 'em, Hexic, Space Battle, Sudoku, or checkers, and make sure to play your collection in the background to create your own game soundtrack. Here's how to get started.

Create clusters of same-colored tiles to clear them from the board. Sounds simple, right? But the real challenge of Hexic is in creating special patterns to earn special pieces.

Do you have what it takes to bet on your hand and go all in? Build the best possible five-card hand out of your two cards and five community cards. Play solo or compete with a friend.

Checkers — the eternal strategy challenge you can learn in minutes and play for life. Play the classic game or try suicide mode, in which the first to lose all their pieces wins.

Solve Sudoku by filling in all nine rows and columns with the numerals 1 through 9. Each numeral can only be placed once in a given row or column. Play the classic 9×9 or a quick 6×6 game.

Survive as long as you can against increasingly aggressive waves of alien attackers! Customize your ship and add weapons to your armory as you progress through the game.
