Modern Combat 2 and Asphalt 6 go free on PlayBook as part of OS 2.0 update

Following on from the release of the PlayBook 2.0 OS, RIM's seeing more support from game developers and publishers.

The result of its industry-push that started in 2011, improvements in terms of presentation and discovery on the BlackBerry App World store are making the platform a better place to distribute content.

Free to play

Still, the arrival of 2 free games from Gameloft - Modern Combat 2 and Asphalt 6 (so not the most recent) - suggests RIM is also prepared to dip into its wallet for content.

PlayBook launched in April 2011 with two free games from EA Mobile pre-loaded - Need for Speed and Tetris.
