Windows 10 Games

i know that we are having new games on windows 10 now but when are the rest of them going to be coming out right now the ones that are out are

Microsoft Bingo 1000G
Microsoft Solitaire Collection 1000G
Minecraft windows 10 beta 870G
Age of Empires Castle seige 1000G

i was wondering when all the better ones are on the line up of coming out because windows 10 is now what i am using for gaming for a while due to no xbox 360 or xbox one so i am wondering

I think we're getting Pinball FX2 soon.

seems like the typical windows games...

I've been playing my X1 and 360 games on my Surface through Windows 10.

So, I grab the Surface, open the Xbox App, wake up the upstairs Xbox One, log in as futiles (automatically, since it is the futiles account on the Surface waking up the console) and that Xbox One's dashboard opens on my Surface screen. Plug my wired 360 controller into the Surface, and it has full control of the remote Xbox One's interface. All my games are digital. All my saves are cloud based. That Xbox One is hard wired ethernet to the router. Select my Games and Apps, select Dragon Age: Inquisition, load save, start playing...

Once the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 comes out, I will be using a wireless X1 controller for those games. Guide button drops from the game back to the dashboard, select a different game, continue on. 360 backwards compatible games work as well. I have played Geometry Wars, off the Xbox One, streamed to the Surface.

It is very cool. Also, ALL features work. Snap, broadcast, record, PARTY CHAT. So, I am in my den, connected to my Surface, remoted into my X1 upstairs, playing a game and chatting...

I live in the goddamn future...

I mean, surely your experience would be better in most cases on a larger screen.

(And why Make it Rain? That is neither a 360 nor an X1 game, so, it does not fit the scenario.)

I think we're getting Pinball FX2 soon.

My interpretation is if we get the game on Win 10 and XBOX One, we're not going to double down on the points.

I was kind of hoping to play Pinball FX2 again for more good points.

And for the spelling, I see what you did there...

I talked to her about it last night and she seems up for it. She was tired of me monopolizing the tv or gaming (other than Kinect) and this is an apparant solution.
