PrimeTube

PrimeTube is another YouTube app for Windows 8. There are so many of these that it isa just too hard to choose between them. I like the way this one works and you may like it too. You'll have to try it out to find out for yourself.

PressPlay Video

This app simply plays videos. It plays the same video formats that the built in Video app does, which doesn't seem special at first. The one thing I like about this app is where the video is positioned when the app is snapped to the side of the screen. Unlike the other Video app, the video is in the vertical middle of the screen when snapped. That is a huge need for me.

PopStar!

This is a fun little game where you try to pop all of the matching stars to make them all disappear. At first you might think this game is similar to Bejeweled, but it's really not. This type of game actually came first. I've been playing similar games to this for many years. It's a fun little time waster that you're sure to like.

Microsoft Solitaire Collection

This app is what Microsoft Solitaire has become, and I love it. One of my favorite games out there. It has the original solitaire plus several others including Freecell. There are also daily challenges where you can win little awards and other achievements.

AccuWeather

This is one of the best weather apps for Windows 8. I have to say my favorite is still the Weather app that comes with Windows 8 is still my favorite, but this one has its own good points. If you can't get enough of weather reports, then you should try this one out.

Photos+

This app does just about everything you could want in a photos app. You can view and edit all your photos with this one. It views photos from your local hard drive, your facebook photos, and even your Google+ photos. It does this all in the same place. I really like this one.

Doom and Destiny

Finally, an old Nintendo style RPG for Windows 8. I have played through this one for many hours and I've had trouble putting it down. I love this game! If you're a fan of Nintendo or Super Nintendo then you'll want to try this one out.
