I watched a helpful video on Unity from the Microsoft Virtual Academy. http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/training-courses/gaming-engines-for-windows-8-jump-start

It was really fun to have a crash course on it that showed more of the ins and outs for me. Following along I was able to create a nice terrain easily. I was really impressed with the water effects and easy to build trees right out of the box from this. The reflections look awesome and the movement was great.

I recently upgraded a laptop to Windows 8.1 and Visual Studio 2013 RC and I got XNA working in it. I keep thinking about finishing Shiny Blade up just to have it done. Unity has been fun to try and learn though. I haven't quite caught everything I want to know from it and these crash courses seem helpful.
Microsoft seems keen on having people use Unity also. They are pushing a lot of these videos and the feature of building to windows 8 from Unity. Seems like a great tool to use and I've enjoyed it so far.
