IGN has announced that they are expanding their digital retail store, Direct2Drive into the UK and that at launch the store will have more than 100 games available.
Some of the more popular games include Civilization IV, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Recently, IGN has made deals with large publishers such as Activision, Take-Two, and THQ.
“Direct2Drive is the quickest and most convenient way to own a game. We want users to discover games through our comprehensive editorial coverage on IGN.com, try before they buy on FilePlanet.com and then buy the ones they love via Direct2Drive,” said Justin Keeling, European general manager, IGN Entertainment.
The US launch of D2D was in October 2004 and the store now holds loads of games from such publishers as Blizzard, Atari and Vivendi as well as the above mentioned publishers.
The US store also allows for downloading of movies and TV shows and the UK site will eventually be expanded to allow the same.
