EB1 to offer Microsoft games

EBWorld.com, a subsidiary of Electronics Boutique, has announced an agreement with Microsoft to provide PC games on EB1, Electronics Boutique's online game rental service. The agreement includes several Microsoft PC games such as MechCommander 2, Age of Empires II, and Crimson Skies. Visitors to EB1 will be able to play games using streaming technology, and their rental costs will often be credited toward the purchase of a boxed version of the game.

Microsoft is the latest PC game publisher to be included in the service, which also features games from Take-Two Interactive, Infogrames, and Eidos Interactive. For more information about the EB1 game rental service, visit EB1.com.
