BallStrike

You can actually control BallStrike by waving your hands in the air. you must have a webcam to use this one, but it uses your webcam like a Kinect. What you do is stand about 7 feet from your computer and smack at floating balls on your screen. It's fun and it's good exercise.

Agent P Strikes Back

In Agent P Strikes Back you guide Perry through this side-scrolling adventure to find missing agents, while avoiding robotic guards. This one supports touch, keyboard, and even your Xbox 360 controller. I don't think you'll find any Ipad games that support an Xbox 360 controller. This is a fun side-scroller that should be tried at least once.

Woomerin

Woomerin simulates a musical instrument called a Theramin.You drag your mouse or your finger across the board to make strange, spacey sounds. It's really that simple. There's not much more to this app than that. I took a liking to this app for just that reason. If you're into freaky sounds then this app is for you.

Doodle Hangman Free

One of my favorite little games in the Windows Store. Doodle Hangman Free isn't just some ordinary hangman game. It is full of humorous animations to watch as you get deeper into each game. You'll love watching your little guy get angry with you as you miss a letter in the game. Watch his reactions as he gets closer and closer to being hanged.

Jigsaw Puzzle - Beginner

Even if you've been scouring the Windows Store for good apps, you probably overlooked this app. Honestly, the tile icon for it in the store isn't very attractive. The game itself could use some graphic polish. But it's the best jigsaw puzzle game I've found in the store. You can create puzzles from jpegs on your computer for up to 300 pieces. Just as a precaution, some of the reviews on the app's page say the app does nothing but crash. If that happens to you, just uninstall it. It works fine for me though. It still doesn't hurt anything to give it a try.

File Brick

Windows 8 doesn't ship with a Windows 8 version of as file manager, but there are many options made by others. I usually use the desktop file explorer myself, but I like File Brick as well. File brick is much more than a simple file manager. You can also view videos and pictures, and listen to your MP3s right inside the app. There are many other options to explore in this handy little app as well.
