Game Room

Game Room was a gaming service for the Xbox 360 video game system, Microsoft Windows PCs, and Windows Phone 7. Rooms may be decorated however the player wishes, using the included themes and set pieces. Games for Game Room are made available through downloadable "game packs." While the game packs are free to download, individual games must be purchased in order to be played fully. Players may play each game in the game pack once without charge, limited to ten minutes of game time. Arcade games have DIP switches that may be changed in order to increase difficulty or offer additional lives to the player, while console games have their original gameplay variations. If a friend's Arcade has a game that the player does not own, the player may purchase plays or may use their in-game "tokens." However, the player may play copies of a game they already own for free. During gameplay, players win medals based on their score or how long they have played the game .
