Vegas Bowling Free

Another fun Windows 8 bowling game isVegas Bowling Free. This is the free version of the game which is limited in functionality and also includes advertising. The paid app costs $4.99, but for a certain reason, it has a worse rating than the free version. There are four opponents of increasing difficulty, and special features of the game include realistic physics, adjustable curve balls, score history and also the ability to save or resume bowling games.

Lucky Lanes Bowling

Lucky Lanes Bowlingis definitely one of the best Windows 8 bowling games and my personal favorite. You can play in multiplayer mode against up to five of your friends in a game that features realistic physics keep and stunning graphics. The music is also great and the intuitive controls make it easier to score that strike that you want. The game also has 4 downloadable environments where you can play: Doc Holliday’s Summer Retreat, Major Tom’s Space Odyssey, Tiki Rain Forest, Captain Ahab’s Belly of the Whale, Graceland’s Hidden Playhouse.

Gutterball – Golden Pin Bowling

TheGolden Pin Bowlinggame for Windows 8 is part of the Gutterball franchise that has been launched back in 2002 and has plenty of players across the world. The game comes with 7 fun and unique alleys, more than 30 custom bowling balls and plenty of other features.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
