A roll call of 40 Xbox Live games coming to Windows 8 has been unveiled, including some new, some classics and the now-obligatory Angry Birds.
This is the first wave of games heading to the new OS and as such they'll be available on all Windows 8 PCs, laptops and tablets from October 26; more games will be announced in due course.
Of the list of 40, some 29 come by way of Microsoft Studios; the rest come from outside studios including Rovio, Gameloft and Glu Mobile.

Some of the games (although it's not yet clear which) will be exclusive to Windows 8, while others are already big hitters in the mobile arena (Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope…).
