Microsoft has just released two new Xbox Live enabled Windows Phone 7 games today: Puzzle Quest 2 and the hotly anticipated Crackdown 2: Project Sunburst. I just shot a video of Crackdown 2 running on the Samsung Omnia 7 to show you how the final version looks like. As you probably already know this is a tower defense game that uses Bing’s satellite imagery as the map you are playing on. It uses the device’s GPS receiver topin-point your location and display the satellite image of where you are (so you are basically defending your own neighbourhood..).I obviously could show you this feature in the video because I was indoors (no GPS signal..)but you will get to see most of the games features anyway. Check it out after the break:

The game full game is availalbe for $2.99 and Namco’s Puzzle Quest 2 for $6.99 in the Marketplace.
