Hydro Thunder Hurricane

This is one of the best games in the store. You get to race boats in this one. The graphics are excellent. And you can control this with an Xbox 360 controller. The only drawback is it costs $9.99. You can try it for free, and play one level for an unlimited number of times.

Price: $9.99

Gravilux

This is a strange app where you have lots of colored graphic dots that respond to touch or a mouse. They'll dance around the scren in response to either. You can also put in music that the graphics will dance to.

BurntCard Blackjack

There are many card games in the Windows store, and many blackjack games. So far this is my favorite of all the blackjack games. I'm not very good at it, but I do like to play every once in a while. I'm sure you'll like this one if you like blackjack.

Xmarks

You can use Xmarks to use all of your bookmarks with the app version of IE10. I don't like the way IE10 does its favorites, but I can use Xmarks to get around that system. I have a lot of bookmarks, and I like to be able to use them. I snap this app to the side of the screen while in IE10 and I can use all of my bookmarks.

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.
