Can i play new games on Windows 8?

You should be able to, but it's better to research: 1) if the makers advertise it as compatible, or 2) if online communities and members say they have got it to work. For the most part, I believe it's as compatible as Windows 7.

Going with Janek on this one, I haven't found anything that is compatible with Windows 7 that isn't with Windows 8 yet. In fact, the only programs that I could never get working in Windows 7 itself were fully-DOS-based ones, like Wolfenstein 3D, but that is because of a Vista+ change, and DOSBox resolves that easily. Everything appears to work well on Windows 8 for me too. :)

Make sure you get your free Media Center Pack immediately after installing it so you get it free. Then follow the steps to add it. It does require a valid email address, though:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs

Note: You may need to change the "en-US" part in the URL to match the version of the site your country uses.

Media Center has always been able to do that if you have a TV Tuner card installed, but I mean if you want those extras. If you wait until after the deadline, or get it from anywhere else, then it costs $39.99 USD or so.

Changing your computer's time zone should update it in the apps.
