The Best Windows 8 Xbox Games

Within the Windows Store in Windows 8 we have a section called Xbox Games , which is characterized by offering more renowned titles, with Xbox Live achievements, and in some cases adaptations of games already seen on Xbox 360 through the popular Xbox Live Arcade.

It is not difficult to guess, therefore, that the most recommended, in terms of games, from the Windows Store, comes to us precisely from that section. That is why we are going to select the best Xbox Games for Windows 8, and with the option of the classic keyboard+mouse combo, the most typical console controller, or the more current touch control.Due to lack of options, of course it won't be.

Adera

Adera is one of the longest running adventures in the Windows Store, and one that has the honor of beingWindows 8 exclusive Work of the HitPoint studio, presents us with a variant of point & click, in the purest style Myst , while we embody Jane Sinclair and try to solve all the crossroads that we have gotten ourselves into. The more we advance, the more mysteries are presented to us, which is why her story is one of its strong points. That and that the first chapter, longer than the rest, is free. If we are passionate about the genre we should take a look.

Crash Course Go!

How many of those present here watched the mythical Yellow Humor as children? The laugh that this program has given us with the scallops and so on, right? Well Crash Course Go! can be described as a variant of Takeshi Kitano's show, but with a very American touch. Those who will play Doritos Crash Course on Xbox 360 will know what we are talking about, it is not for nothing that this version for Windows 8 is the same, but adapted to older people for Windows 8 , and with all the serial content. Just because of its appearance it can throw off more than one, but we assure you that it is a lot of fun. Even if Chino Cudeiro is not there.

ilomilo plus

ilomilo is an old acquaintance of Xbox 360 and Windows Phone. Several years have passed since it debuted on both platforms, and its most complete version arrived months ago on Windows 8 under the name ilomilo plus It's still a puzzle game that plays with perspective quite successful and addictive, and will put us in more than a bind in some of its phases. In addition, last May its creators, Southend Interactive, added crossplay between Windows 8 and Xbox Live Arcade. An added reason to get this version at a lower price.

Pac-man Championship Edition DX

Pac-man Championship Edition DX is another acquaintance of the Xbox 360 Xbox Live Arcade service, and one of the funniest in its catalogue, so in Windows 8 it also seems like another option to consider.And also cheaper than the original Microsoft console. It has become on its own merits one of the best reinterpretations of a character as mythical as Pac-man, without forgetting his origins, but adding freshness to his mechanics to make it more addictive. Here we also have the addition of touch control.

Rocket Riot 3D

Rocket Riot is another Xbox Live Arcade title, but this one has gone unnoticed by many. Luckily its role in Windows 8 has been greater, thanks to Rocket Riot 3D, an enhanced version of the work already seen on Xbox 360, and with more additional content than They will lead us to destroy blocks and figures without rest. Everything that we will see on the screen can be destroyed, and will auto-generate after a while.The festival of lights and colors, with thousands of particles jumping across the screen, is worth seeing. In addition, we will have hundreds of phases and characters to unlock, and it will admit all types of controls possible in Windows 8.

Skulls of the Shogun

The most tactical strategy is not a genre that lavishes much on Xbox 360, while on PC it is more common. If we say this, it is because Skulls of the Shogun has been released on both the Microsoft console and Windows 8, apart from Windows RT and Windows Phone, being, in addition, the first title with cross-play between all these platforms. Away from the strategy by cells, this 17-bit work gives us more freedom when it comes to moving even if we continue to be controlled by the turns.One of its attractions is the fact of being able to eat the heads of samurai fallen in combat (skeletons, by the way), with which we will increase our parameters.
