Microsoft launches ‘Play for Windows 8′

Enhancing the software lineup for Windows 8, and keeping their promise to bring back Windows gaming with the release of the new operating system, Microsoft has announced Play for Windows 8 along with 15 titles.

It will be a while before hardcore gamers have stuff to play, but at least it gets things off to a start. The available games include Toy Soldiers: Cold War Touch edition, Elements: Special Edition, Hydro Thunder Hurricane, Rocket Riot 3D, Reckless Racing Ultimate, Taptiles, Adera, Pinball FX2, Wordament, Gunstringer: Dead Man Running, Ilomilo+, Skulls of the Shogun, Microsoft Solitaire Collection, Microsoft Mahjong, and Microsoft Minesweeper. All except Toy Soldiers: Cold War are compatible with the Microsoft Surface RT.

It’s not a bad line-up I guess. More quality Xbox 360 titles would have been nice, but I am sure they are coming.
