I don't understand what this means at all. Am I getting old already?
by VampireRobot Friday, August 31, 2012 at 11:47 AM

Why should I have to put up with a tablet OS on my pc?
by torterra275 Friday, August 31, 2012 at 11:51 AM

All i saw was casual, mobile games, casual, anyone else agree?

Listen Microsoft... if I wanted iOS I would buy a Macbook. I however want an OS that is just well supported platform onto which I can install and modify the applications and games I want how I want when I want from where I want. That's kind of the *** point of why I put up with windows, that is actually your main windows customer.
So how about understanding that and making an effort to make good products like the quite honestly lovely windows7. Improve on that instead of constantly trying to go for mac-type clients: we're not all like that and those of us that are buy macs. Know your target market you doofuses.

Windows8 will be an utter failure. It's a stupid idea to want to force laptop/desktop users to use a tablet interface -_-
by VGAPixel Friday, August 31, 2012 at 11:57 AM

Does microsoft think my PC is a tablet? where are the AAA titles?
by motella Friday, August 31, 2012 at 12:00 PM

... I'm a it confused now. I just wished win 8 would be a even more awesome version of win than win7
by VinsanityV22 Friday, August 31, 2012 at 12:05 PM

I'm noticing a disproportionate amount of "casual" games to "hardcore" games here...

Guess stuff like Hydro Thunder, Blazblue, Toy Stoldiers and IloMilo will have to do for now.

the Pac-Man game was pretty good. Bought it two Christmas' ago for PS3

Am I the only one that thinks Windows 8 looks terrible?
by Chief Beef Friday, August 31, 2012 at 12:28 PM

What a hideous, obtrusive platform.

Please, people. Don't buy this garbage.
by Rob M. Friday, August 31, 2012 at 12:47 PM

( ._.) why...
by ADAMMWOOLLEY Friday, August 31, 2012 at 01:22 PM

I will never, EVER, put Windows 8 on any of my computers. I'll stick with 7, which is sadly the best Windows operating system to date.
by archnophobia Friday, August 31, 2012 at 01:34 PM

dafuk is this chit... i'll stick with the best Os ever Windows 7.
by BlackCanopus Friday, August 31, 2012 at 01:34 PM

Nice job turning PC into what? An Android phone or whatever?
by Aksion Friday, August 31, 2012 at 01:36 PM

Kinectimals Unleashed sounds fierce lol
by Aksion Friday, August 31, 2012 at 01:56 PM

Its funny to see all the uninformed knee-jerk reactions. First of all there will be 2 versions of WIN; a tablet/metro version and a PC version for people who want it perform as they would expect. Also these are just a list of games that come with Windows. Just like how Solitaire and Minesweeper have always came with WIN, it's just a much bigger library. For the idiots who are complaining about no big titles, go f#cking buy it like you normally would with any version of Windows.
