Amazon is committing itself to gaming much more seriously than providing a storefront: it just launched its own game development house. The simply titled Amazon Game Studios is starting out gently by producing a Facebook hidden object game, Living Classics, that lets the socially inclined dig around through scenes from well-known literature -- what else would you expect from the Kindle's creator? While the free, me-too game isn't going to give Microsoft or Sony any frights just yet, the company has the ambition of making "innovative, fun and well-crafted" titles. Amazon is actively recruiting more help for the studio as we write, so we'd expect more grandiose work before too long.

Amazon Game Studios presents Living Classics, for Facebook.

Living Classics looks like a pretty good Facebook game if you are into Treasure finding/Hidden objects games.

Could this mean Amazon would someday make a controller for their Kindle Fire to play casual games which Amazon makes?

I wonder would Amazon also make PS3, 360, Wii, and PC games in the future.
