Amazon announced today that it has created its own game studio, with a first game already developed and ready to be launched on Facebook.
The title, "Living Classics," lets gamers move through scenes from classics like "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz" while searching for defined items. The game is free to play but "cash" credits that help you beat the game cost $19.99 for 120 units.
Surprisingly, there does not seem to be any connection/enticement in the game to the actual Amazon.com site, or any subsidiaries.
Reads Amazon's blog post: "Why is Amazon making social games, you ask? Good question! We know that many Amazon customers enjoy playing games–including free-to-play social games–and thanks to Amazon's know-how, we believe we can deliver a great, accessible gaming experience that gamers and our customers can play any time."
