How to Play Android Games (and Run Android Apps) on Windows 8
 

The Windows Store may be fairly light on great apps, but BlueStacks gives you access to over 750,000 apps on your Windows 8 PC – including lots of touch-enabled games.

Various Android app emulators have been available for Windows for a while, but they haven’t really had a purpose. With touch-screen Windows 8 PCs and tablets, there’s now finally a reason why you might want to run Android apps on Windows.

BlueStacks isn’t perfect and is still in beta, but Lenovo will be shipping it on PCs soon, so they seem to think it’s good enough. However, anyone can currently download and use BlueStacks for free.
