Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system has seen its first working build released on the web, in the form of a developer preview one, so we immediately decided to see how the new OS handles games, even in this incomplete version.
The first truly working build of Windows 8 has been released yesterday, and already lots of people are trying it out to see just how the new operating system works, how its new Metro interface feels on a computer, not just on Windows Phone 7 mobiles, as well as the new features baked into the OS.
This is Softpedia Games, however, so immediately after installing the Windows 8 developer preview build, we wanted to try out a game and see how the new OS feels. Is it a smooth experience like the current Windows 7 or a resources hog like Windows Vista? Let's find out.
