The titles will be available through a built-in Xbox Live app that comes with Windows 8. These games will run on laptops, tables or desktops running the software and will sport achievements, leaderboards and multiplayer.

Microsoft has been heralding Windows 8 as a mobile-friendly OS that’s nearly device-agnostic. Our own Kate Cox notes that many of these games were available in the App Store of the Windows 8 build that she evaluated recently. Lots of these games seemed to be straight-up ports of mobile versions. At the very least, these games might be easy ways to buff your gamerscore.
