I'm hoping to see full retail games on windows 8. Especially because GFWL was abandoned.

Can't wait to get a Windows 8 device, as well as a WP8 device.
I just wish when you get on these games on your phone or computer it says your online, not that you were online a minute ago like how it is now.
enzanblazer - I have too many games that I only got 1 achievement on.

They need to turn this into GFWL so I can party chat with Xbox people.

Also Fruit Ninja is bugged and Arcade mode will always crash thus making an achievement unobtainable online.

You can move the date to Sept.1 I heard and earn it offline. Haven't tried for myself yet.


I was just saying I wish I could have Jetpack joyride on my tag. Was expecting windows phone but this worked.

Jetpack Joyride is tops and its free. Fruit ninja it seems is about 5 years old now and as usual MS price it at 5 times the price is in on android and from what I here from a few beta testing gamers W8 is not great so I don't think i'll be rushing out to buy a new tablet or the OS for my super computer

Did you miss the part where gfwl doesn't support party chat either.

Oh I know I mean it needs to be implemented into it. It needs to become GFWL but GFWL needs a huge update like our dashboard.


As these Windows 8 games don't put us online like GFWL which is nice when you use your Xbox for netflix but I wish I could be online on my PC and chat in a party too.

Played Jetpack Joyride for 3 hours last night. Kept saying "Just 1 more mission". Glad it's not on WP or I'd never stop playing it

I already have windows 8 on 3 devices now and i think it is awesome. Plus, if you have windows 7 you can go to this site www.windowsupgradeoffer.com and get it for only $14.99. Just put any computer off of best buys web site in and they will give you the discount price.
