Screw Candy Crush, here are five obviously superior games for Microsoft to bundle with Windows 10

Dealspwn: ""As an added bonus, Candy Crush Saga will automatically be installed for customers that upgrade to or download Windows 10 for periods of time following the game launch," read the post on Xbox Wire. Though it will support full cross-compatibility with the iOS and Android versions, which is nice, we can't help but feel it isn't the best fit for Microsoft's new operating system (especially given King's shameful track record of cloning and trademark trolling).

Indeed, considering that they've acquired some serious first-party talent over the years, we can't help but feel that it's a bit of a waste. Just off the top of our head, surely these games would make a lot more sense."

Just no, Microsoft. But yeah, these would be much better.

Blues Cowboy3262d ago

And easier. They're all published by Microsoft Studios!

Solitaire and Minecraft are way better

Blues Cowboy3262d ago

Haha, yeah. Wait, do you mean Minesweeper or Minecraft? Either's fine by me.

Never got on with Freecell though.

AlokTheDemon3262d ago

Oh yes Indeed ! I meant Minesweeper :-)

Blues Cowboy3262d ago (Edited 3262d ago )

@AlokTheDemon: Heh, I did wonder, but TBH both are fine shouts. Do love Minesweeper though, it's one of those perfect games that can only be improved with better graphics, not gameplay.

EDIT: Also, Hover!

Is Candy Crush still a thing? Of course it is! Still receiving notifications to play it.

Blues Cowboy3262d ago

I know, kinda thought it would fizzle out. Never mind, playing Puzzle & Dragons Z on the 3DS and there are no MTs at all.

They actually call them "levels"? Hahaha.

Amazing! Congrats for keeping the game alive and relevant for so long. This and Angry Birds defined casual mobile gaming.

DarXyde1748d ago

The story of Candy Crush is kind of a sad one. Some other guy suffered pretty badly because King is bigger than he is.

"This company called King was talking about creativity. I was like, ‘What?’" - Josef Fares

From VG247: "During GameLab, Barcelona, last week, we sat in on a panel discussion between A Way Out director Josef Fares and Quantic Dream’s David Cage. In the panel, Fares had some choice words to say about mobile game developer King.

King is owned by Activision and creates games such as Candy Crush Saga and lots of other games with ‘Saga’ at the end. The studio’s games generate money through microtransactions."
