I'd add Sketchbook Express. I'm thinking of buying Sketchbook pro, but it's full desktop program and it's $50. Wish they had the $1 mobile version (with layers and brush controls), but since we've got full win8, we can run that. For games, I love Rayman. I bought it for wp8 as well..

I haven't started using it yet, but I also bought FruityLoops FL Studio, which is musical loop remixing app.

I guess it depends on what you want to do with your sp2.

Up until this latest version it used to be $100. It's an amazing program even at $100 and a ridiculous bargain at $50 if you're at all serious about stepping up from express.

I have my Surface Pro 2 mostly for school and gaming purposes. However, I wanted use this thread as a sort of catch-all list for the best apps to use on the SP2.
