Following the announcement of a release date last week, Microsoft Game Studios and developer Vector Unit have announced the price of Hydro Thunder Hurricane, the Xbox LIVE Arcade-exclusive sequel to the legendary Midway speedboat racing arcade game. Hydro Thunder Hurricane is the first official sequel to the classic Midway hit Hydro Thunder, which splashed into arcades and consoles over ten years ago.
It’s time to announce the May Games with Gold lineup! On the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, flip and bump your way thru Yoku’s Island Express, and solve mind-bending puzzles in The Inner World – The Last Wind Monk. And for our classic lineup via Backward Compatibility, race across waves in Hydro Thunder Hurricane, and have loads of fun in Viva Piñata Party Animals.
The first VP was pretty fun, never played party animals. Hydro thunder is one of my favorites on the DC and this update was on GwG before but still a fun game for anyone who missed it. Never heard of the other two.
Queue the onslaught of "why do they even bother" comments. While i don't totally disagree that Gold games have been awful, every once in a while one pops on their that I try and end up liking. I mean if you have to pay, why complain about games they give you.
I think Microsoft is trying to make PsPlus look good with these horrible GWG line up.
The ONLY thing bad about gamepass is how Microsoft completely started taking dumps on games with gold ever since. In my opinion (OPINION) PlayStation plus gave better offerings most of the time but there were times where games with gold would win a few FOR ME. Now it’s a landslide. They should put the same effort into games with gold as they do gamespass. Just take the games off, reduce the price, and call it Xbox Live again.
Sure, there was online gaming back in the day but the modern age of online video gaming began almost twenty years ago with Xbox Live 1.0.
Microsoft has announced that several games are leaving Xbox Game Pass for PC and console.
I remember playing this game in the arcades :] 4- Player split screen and online games don't come often anymore, I might buy this
I was just about to post that >.< I remember wanting to play this rather than those Fast and the Furious rip off racing games. High speed boats and water ways were just more interesting back then.
3......2......1 Go! Go! Go! :D Such an awesome arcade game.
I still don't like how $15 is becoming the standard price for things, but considering they are giving us more quality titles for the price, I guess it works out! I'll probably get this as well.
I loved this game back in the day, always loved nice water effects haha.
