Pixel Mine Games today launched its micro-payment based gateway for downloadble games, Pixel Mine Portal. The portal, which is a small free-to-register executable application, connects gamers to a world of new third-party developed PC games. At launch the service will include Iron Will Games' Ashen Empires and Dransik along with Beta versions of Fireteam Reloaded and Callipygian Games' Secondhand Lands.

Pixel Mine Games promises the service will be updated throughout the year, adding up to four new games from third party independent developers.

"We want to make games that we like to play and help developers like us get their titles to market." Pixel Mine President David Reese said in a press release, "Our internal billing and payment system allows developers on the portal to gain more from their hard work and retain ownership of their intellectual property."

The Pixel Mine Portal allows gamers to browse and play Pixel Mine games, check stats and chat with friends. Gamers can also purchase tradable tokens, which can be used throughout the Pixel Mine Portal library with a future plan to allow players to earn tokens for special prizes and items.
