Actually tempted by Bomberman '94. Does anyone know if it plays with a joypad on a regular PC with multiplayer? The description is hilariously lacking.

Bomberman'94 is a
action video game
released in 1993
for the PC Engine(TurboGrafx-16)
only in Japan.

In-game text will include some Japanese.

Wait, San Andreas is now W8 store exclusive? or is this just a list of games available in the store?

TheD · May 14, 2014

A bunch of those games listed in the OP are not even exclusive on PC (i.e: Halo Spartan Assault, GTA SA , Pinball FX2 and PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX+ are all on Steam).

Yeah, it's bizarre. I wonder why they never ported the later games to PC, especially after seeing some other fighters succeed on the platform..

The very minimun they should have done for this "port" is to allow the game to run in WinRT, to make it more worthwhile, since as it stands, this is the worst port of the bunch, since it is only the Arcade game. No Online, no Story mode, etc. etc.

KHlover · May 14, 2014

Lmao maybe exclusive on Windows RT, but half of these games is already available on Steam.

Lucifon · May 14, 2014

Machinarium is available now also.

Is there any way to get Twin Bee outside of Japan?!

Phreakuency · May 14, 2014

Well nearly 2 years after announcing Kinectimals as a Windows 8 game, they release what looks like the freaking mobile version rather than the 360 game.

I can feel Microsoft's "renewed commitment" to PC gaming radiating from your post.

The PC port has story mode, unless the MS store version is different or something. Given that the version that was recently added to Steam/GOG is supposed to be the same one, though, that shouldn't be the case.

The original release had GFWL netplay too, but it was probably too much to ask that the company that licensed it for redistribution would fix that.

You can change REGION in Classic Desktop ,
Select Japan and open again Windows Store

plagiarize · May 14, 2014

I'm partial to Zombies!!! myself. That should be on the list. It works on RT and Windows 8.

Hexic is fantastic, although it tries to sell you consumables quite a lot. Pac Man CE DX is terrible without a gamepad (odd, because the phone version uses great touch screen swipe controls and the Windows Store version uses awful touch screen buttons).

The two Rayman games are amazing.

Zen Pinball 2 is meh on RT, and not nearly as good as the steam version on 8, but it's still a great game.

Those are my thoughts.

You know you could have done that exact same thing for probably less than a tenth of the cost with an android tablet right?

Does San Andreas have full 360 controller support?

Yeah. Arc doesn't port to PC.

Steam also has CT so getting it from Win 8's appstore is entirely redundant.

I truly mean "this port", because it is different from the original PC version. If you compare file sizes you will see that something's missing.

It isn't like a Surface RT costs that much more than an Android tablet

I actually love my Surface RT, even though I generally despise the Windows 8 interface elsewhere.

I don't have too many games, but I'm going to pick up San Andreas soon if it runs well.

It should via OTG. If not, a dual shock 3 works pretty well too (and you can even use it wirelessly if you're rooted). This is what makes me like my Shield, especially when its hooked up to a TV.

If I am not mistaken this game just released on to the xbox one store Monday. I had no idea what it was other than it looked like something more akin to tablet games. So is this the first windows 8 port to xbox one after the Spatan Assault game?

When you see this symbol on the Store in a game or in an application, then it means it has been created with a unique code for Windows 8 , WindowsPhone, and Xbox One
UNIVERSAL APP.

Good point, although personally I think the FPS are unplayable on the tablet. Only eye candy

You ever tried a wired 360 controller on a Surface 2? A fps would be amazing on the platform if someone made one.
