Just got Windows 8 today. The Games app on the Metro screen (green tile with the white silhouette of an xbox controller) won't load for me. When I click on it, I get the green background with the progress swirl thingy, and it just spins endlessly. I closed it, tried again and this time I've left it up for 40 minutes. No other Metro app has taken more than 10 seconds or so the first time.

Is it downloading a massive update? I let Windows update all the apps prior to doing anything.

Suggestions? Yes I have tried restarting the computer

Thanks in advance.

I updated it via the Store, restarted it, open and closed it several times out of frustration and finally just let it run and eventually it loaded. I don't know why.
