Microsoft has kickstarted the Red Stripe Deals on apps and games from the Windows Store just like it does it for Windows Phone. Here are the discounted Windows 8 apps and games for this week.

The Red Stripe Deals on Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows RT apps and games from the Windows Store is now available for users and Microsoft will be publishing each week usually three of them – one Xbox game, one indie game, and one top-rated app.

But we’re also reaching out to Windows 8 developers to contact us and inform them of their discounts, if some. This way, we will have more discounted games and apps to choose from the Windows Store

Reckless Racing Ultimate

Original Price: $4.99. Sale price: $2.49

There seems to be a problem with this discount because a lot of people still see the previous five dollars price and I can confirm this, as well. Guys, do fix it as soon as possible, because Reckless Racing Ultimate is one Windows 8 racing game we don’t want to miss!

Einstein Brain Trainer HD

Original price: $5.99. Sale price: $2.99

Brain training apps on Windows 8 are pretty awesome as you get to keep your memory and logic fit. Einstein Brain Trainer HD comes with 30 levels to stimulate your brain’s activity, from the most easy to hard levels.

Joining Hands 2

Original price: $3.49. Sale price: $1.49

Joining Hands 2 sequel builds on the success of the first version and comes with more than 140 fun and challenging levels where you will play with 8 kinds of adorable Peablin characters.

Let’s hope that future Red Stripe Deals will include free apps and games from the Windows Store, as well. For now, I am sure that there are developers who have discounted their apps, so feel free to reach out.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). 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.
