Game Room appears more or less like Microsoft's Xbox-centric response to Sony's PlayStation Home, but devoid of the worthless rolling between urban pylons, water fountains, and film theater marquees.

Only the games, no frills, in a space devised to look like the hangout that you may have stalked as a child exploding quarters with bright vector graphic screens surrounded by backlit bezels, buttons which look like scooped out silver dollars, and joysticks with handles the size of golf balls.

It's not only for Xbox, either. If you have deployed Microsoft's Games For Windows customer, you can pull it down, in addition to some extension packs, which strengthen your private mall with extras from Intellivision, Atari, and many more.

For a single play, the games cost 40 or 50 cents that is sort of useless, and overcharged; 240 to play unrestricted on only one platform, or $3 for Xbox or Windows, while 400 to play on all platforms, or $5.

According to this Twitter post from Microsoft's Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb, starting from tomorrow, you can include Pitfall and Super Breakout to the Xbox's array.

Other games that are supposed to escort those two, comprise Basketball, Realsports Volleyball, Megamania, Night Stalker, and Rack 'Em Up.
