MilesAhead:
You could try Revo Uninstaller Free
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

It has a search mode where you drag the program's window onto it or something like that.  I used Revo a  couple of times and it seemed to work well.

Before doing anything that cleans the Registry you may want to go to tweaking.com and get the Regbackup tool.  It is free and works very well.  It may take a minute or so to save the Registry Hives.  But it makes a system snapshot to get them all.. not just the ones not is use.

IIRC you can right-click on a tile in Metro-mode and uninstall then
(I'm on Windows 7 atm)

skwire:
There seems to be several tutorials on uninstalling games in Windows 8.  Have you tried any of them?

I always forget about that App/Tile stuff.  :)  The only one I use is Weather.  :)
