The ASUS TAICHI combines the best of both the laptop and tablet worlds, and this flexibility extends throughout all of its various uses, from work to socializing to gaming. With the TAICHI you have the freedom to play games using the keyboard and trackpad or mouse, or you can leave the keyboard behind and enjoy touch-enabled tablet games on the go. To find the games that best take advantage of all the different capabilities of your device, you're going to want to check out what's available in the Windows App store. Here are a few of the best games to get you started.

Asphalt 8: Airborne

The Asphalt series represents the pinnacle of mobile-focused racing games, and Asphalt 8: Airborne takes the franchise to new heights – literally – with the introduction of aerial stunts. The game features digital versions of real cars such as the Lamborghini Veneno, Bugatti Veyron, and the Ferrari FXX, and tracks in exotic locations like Venice, Iceland, and French Guiana. You can play the game in single player mode, simultaneous multiplayer with up to eight opponents, or even try out "asynchronous races" where you challenge your friends to beat your fastest track times.

Machinarium

If you're a fan of adventure games, games with a unique sense of style, or friendly robots, then you owe it to yourself to check out Machinarium. It's one of the best-looking and best-sounding games that have come out in years, and has won numerous awards. On your TAICHI you'll be able to play the game using touch controls, so take your tablet on the go and start tapping your way through the mysterious world of Machinarium.

Flow

Flow is a puzzle game that seems simple at first, but quickly becomes intricate and challenging as you progress. Your goal is to connect dots of the same color on a grid using lines without any of the lines crossing, and from that easy and accessible premise you get over 1,000 free levels with huge variations in difficulty. You can play Flow with a mouse if you like, but it really shines when you're tracing the colored lines using the touch controls available on the TAICHI.

Royal Revolt 2

Royal Revolt 2 is a touch-controlled strategy game in which you defend your castle against players from around the world by building a maze full of traps and troops. It's the kind of game you can easily play for hours as you try to perfect every aspect of your base, and it's even better if you have real-life friends playing too, since taking out someone's castle is always more fun if you know them personally.

Game Dev Tycoon

Game Dev Tycoon is a fantastic combination of the popular simulation genre with a fun lesson on the history of the video game industry. In this game you guide a game development company from its foundation in the 1980s up through the modern day and into the future, and along the way you'll have to manage your staff, research new technologies, and try to anticipate the trends and shifts in the gaming industry so you can capitalize on them. It's fun, funny, and hard to put down, and you'll have a blast playing it anywhere you go with the TAICHI.
