All of those games are different kinds of games. Hover isn't exactly the same game as Reversi. So, I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Lots of these pack-in games were developed by outside studios and were sometimes published by different companies as well, so that it's a King game instead of something developed in-house by Microsoft also doesn't seem different from the past. Microsoft had already included games with social networks and online aspects such as Internet Hearts and Internet Backgammon. Those bundled Internet suite of games even pushed people to make an MSN account.
