SanDisk and Big Fish Games have come up with a new technology that allows you to play games saved on usb drives without having to install the game on a host computer. The SanDisk's exclusive U3 smart technology allows applications to run from a USB flash drive, meaning you won't need to waste time in installing the app (and later removing when you're done). The new site currently offers 56 game titles, and is expected to offer 100 titles by summer. Visitors can download and play games free for one hour. Full versions of the games can be purchased for $20, or $7 with a Game Club subscription from Big Fish Games.

“Casual games are a perfect companion for SanDisk’s Cruzer flash drives, because our customers often have a few minutes to play when they’re away from home – in the office, at school, at a friend’s house, or at an Internet café – where it isn’t appropriate or even possible to install a game on the computer itself,” said Ittai Golde, Senior Director of Product Marketing for the USB Division at SanDisk. “By offering a wide selection of Big Fish titles on the new Web site, users of U3 flash drives can discover games that are just right for them.”

“SanDisk’s reputation for innovation in flash storage devices makes them the ideal partner in bringing our games to this platform,” said Paul Handelman, Vice President of Business Development for Big Fish Games. “This partnership gives new and existing Big Fish Games customers the flexibility and convenience of having their game library with them at all times.”
