Microsoft has finally done it. On Wednesday, the company announced the release of Skulls of the Shogun, the first game specifically designed to be played across a Windows Phone, Windows 8 PCs, Surface, and Xbox 360. In fact, you can download it right now: Windows Phone Store, Windows Store, and Xbox Live Marketplace. For a limited time, Skulls is being discounted for the first two platforms: the Windows 8 version costs $9.99 (normally $14.99) and the Windows Phone version is $4.99 (normally $6.99). The Xbox LIVE edition costs 1,200 Microsoft Points. The reason there are only three links instead of four is because the Windows Store link handles both Windows 8 and Windows RT devices. While Microsoft specifically names the Surface, because that’s what the game was optimized for, it should work on other Windows RT tablets as well.
