I am happy to announce that HelloFromEurope will soon have exclusive looks at upcoming games for the Zune HD platform. These games will be built with the XNA framework, and will not install in the traditional manner. The programmer, Zuner2012 is very excited about this platform. After interviewing him, he commented, “Hello From Europe will be getting alot of new content that other sites just won’t have.” Here is a look at one of his games, Zune Vs. iPod in it’s early development days.
Zuner2012 had ALOT of help from LeeNRo(c)K Studios in early development days. I got a personal sneak peek at a newer Zune HD version, and am quite impressed.

Yesterday, the Zune Team tweeted that the Zune twitter app would be available the next morning. They didn’t say a word about when the facebook-app would be available, so we’ll have to wait a little it longer for that one.
We’ll let you know when the Twitter app is available through the Zune Marketplace. To make sure you’ll be the first to know: subscribe to our rss-feed.
