Microsoft Announces First Wave of Windows 8 Titles

Terrin said:Apps aren't required to work on RT or with touch. Obviously, that will get you more users, but it isn't required.

Unless there's some major overhaul in windows 8 that makes it worth buying, then there's no way I'm gonna buy it if the only enticing part is for games, I mean come on it looks a right mess.
Then again it took years for me to finally convert from xp to 7, so maybe I might give 8 a go in like 3 years time...

Anybody wanna buy an ipad?

So this will be the 2nd non kinect version of Kinectimals, maybe they should change the name to something else

munchmagic86 said:If the other your talking about is Fruit Ninja, that can easily be done without Kinect. It was on iOS, Android, and WP7 before coming to Kinect. Touch works well with it, and a mouse probably would too.

Let me just log onto my Sony PC, unlock some Trophies that they'll add 4 years later and then I can upgrade to PSPC+ for $15 a month to DIGITALLY RENT (crappy) games on my $450 version of a GameBoy instead of tablet/laptop hyrbid with full functioning keyboard and controller port. Then maybe afterwards I'll use it's BluRay player to watch my movies that I bought personally, IF they're not copywritten first. I can do all this while listening to my $250 iPod that has to kill my audio quality in order for it to take hours to sort my extensive music collection.

Only game interesting there is kingdom for keflings, maybe angry bird.

There's a few I wouldn't mind playing and more achievements is never a bad thing, but Windows 8 won't be going near my PC or laptop.

Maybe I'll trade-in my iPad for a Windows 8 tablet...

Dragon's Lair, lol
Kinectimals: The Unleashing (fixed)

Hydro Thunder Hurricane!

Despite a few, there seems to be nothing more than a bunch of low quality games to ensnare people.

There's a lot of fun games on that list. The new Gunstringer will be awesome! I wish I had the money to buy a new PC :/

oooo, so many awesome things on that list!

ROBomination said:Haha this is absolutely perfect. I love both Microsoft as well as Sony; I think that both of them have their pros and cons. For example, I love the achievement system that Microsoft has, as opposed to the trophy system on the playstation. I love the dashboard on the playstation better than the xbox though. I have the older elite, that I've had for not even 2 years now, and every single time I load up the dashboard: it freezes. It's only when I connect to XBOX LIVE. Keep in mind that I have a connection that supports 50Mb/s of downloading and 35Mb/s for uploading. The playstation has better hardware and great games, and they are coming out with a Cross play promotion which allows owners of that "$450 gameboy" that you have to get the SAME GAME free when they buy it on the PS3.

I hear the Microsoft surface is going to be priced at $200 for the lower model. I think that's amazing. Windows 8 is awesome, but buggy, but so were many of their OS to start out with. Microsoft is really trying to offer their consumers the best they can, they are trying. It's not like Nintendo that comes out with a cool looking system, but then gives us little kid games to play with no sort of HD or achievement system.

I will definitely buy the Microsoft Surface as well as upgrade to Windows 8. I have a Windows Phone 7, and I guess you could also consider me a no-life for just playing games to get achievements. Almost 55555 for having an account for 2 years.

Nothing really amazing there....

Uhh, looks like I'll have to put Windows 8 on my PC at some point then. I just installed it on a virtual machine last night and didn't really care for it. I just hope that they eventually add party chat support. With the current GFWL setup, you can only private chat.
