Gaming's great platform-bridging endeavour chugs on, as Microsoft brings a number of Xbox games to hot, sexy tablets and other Windows 8 devices as part of the new PLAY initiative.
Admittedly, there's nothing all that hot and sexy about Minesweeper and Solitaire, but Toy Soldiers, Gunstringer and Ilomilo? Now you're cooking with charcoal.
"Get your game on with this amazing line-up of titles from Microsoft Studios," reads a release on the official site. "Our games have something for everyone, from casual puzzlers and high energy racing to immersive adventure and non-stop arcade. For Xbox fans you'll also find your favorite features like leaderboards, multiplayer modes, connecting with friends, and more.
"All Microsoft Studios titles let you try before you buy; check them out today! Microsoft Studios titles are available for Windows 8 and Windows RT via the Windows Store."
Full list of supported titles is below. Traded in your Xbox for a Surface yet? No, I didn't think so - but from such tiny snowballs great avalanches may spring...

Surface Pro is the next thing on my must-buy gadget list, so I might be tempted by some simple, time-wasting titles like this to keep me company on those long train journeys. Even better would be something with a bit more depth, only a bit, to really engage me so I could pick different types of games depending on my mood. On the other hand perhaps I should just get back into Steam...
