Xbox Live House Party 2

UltimateGameGorilla: Microsoft has annouced Xbox Live House Party 2. Every week for five weeks a new game is realeased on Xbox Live Arcade. Xbox Live House Party 2 will start on Feb.16 with the release of Hard Corps: Uprising. Hard Corps: Uprising is pretty much the succesor to Contra. The other games include Torchlight which was a massive hit on the PC, Beyond Good and Evil HD which was an Xbox classic now with revamped graphics, Bejewelled Blitz Live wich is the sequel in a way to the original Bejewelled and finally Full House Poker which allows you and your avatar to play poker with your friends. I am personally excited for Torchlight since I never picked it up when it was release on the PC and on Mac. RunicGames, the creators of Torchlight are currently working on the sequel, Torchlight 2 for PC and Mac. Hopefully Torchlight will do well on Xbox 360 so that they bring the sequel over to the Xbox 360 also.

Yeah. I am going to play Torchlight again with the new revamped controls. I enjoyed the PC version, to it will seem different playing with new controls and sitting on the couch.

thrasherv34840d ago

I'm going to be pissed if it's the last one of the five to come out. But yeah I agree, the controls will be interesting.

Bigpappy4840d ago

Yeah, that would suck. I think it will eiter be 4 or 5 now you mention it. If people get into this they may not buy another game for a few weeks. Same with BG&E.

Yawn.... I will say torchlight is fun, but i have that on my steamdeck. Relicta is also on PS+ Extra and looks like it would make a cool VR game. No PSVR support though.

VenomUK682d ago

@Darthv72 How did you shift this story about the Xbox Games with Gold lineup into a negative about PSVR not supporting one of the games?! 🤣

crazyCoconuts682d ago

It's pretty impressive actually.

darthv72682d ago (Edited 682d ago )

Hmm... that is funny. I see it more as a negative against XB. Like other games on both, some offer a VR mode for PS and this looked like it should be one of them. Then again it doesnt even offer VR for PC so... ehh.

RedDevils681d ago

That how professional troll at their best work.

ChasterMies682d ago

Why continues reporting this? Who is left that is still interested in Games with Gold?

crazyCoconuts682d ago

I guess if I paid $5/month for this crap I'd still want to know what I got...

Eidolon681d ago

Yeah, be interesting to know. I hardly care because of Game Pass now, still don't mind seeing what we get, but I've come to terms that it's mostly going to be nothing I'll play if have GP.

itsmebryan682d ago

They should get rid of games w gold. With Gamepass I have too many better games to even think about GWG.

crazyCoconuts682d ago

So they've managed to decrease the value you get each month without decreasing revenue by making the games crappier. If they still charged $5/month without giving you ANY games at all, it would open them up to criticism and direct comparisons to PS+ without any way to subjectively spin the message

Crows90681d ago (Edited 681d ago )

It's also part of gamepass ultimate. It's good to see since it directly competes with ps extra

northpaws682d ago

This is beyond bad... kinda shitty move to force all their subscribers to get gamepass.

VersusDMC682d ago

Technically forcing people to move to Gamepass Ultimate. Regular gamepass doesn't include Gold.

Silly gameAr681d ago

I guess that's that value that everyone keeps talking about.

KillBill681d ago

Technically you aren't forced to buy anything. And Xbox Live gold can be bought separately. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...

KillBill681d ago

What are you talking about you can still buy Xbox Live Gold on its own if you want to. You guys need to stop having conversations about Xbox if you know nothing about it. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...

Silly gameAr681d ago (Edited 681d ago )

I guess the comments flew right over your head, huh? If GP was such a good value, gold would come with game pass, without having to get the more expensive opinion.

KillBill681d ago

@silly - what? Point is that gold can be had WITHOUT game pass. simple as that. Nothing forcing you to buy game pass.

gamer9681d ago

@ Silly, not sure what you're trying to say, you want game pass ultimate for the price of xbox live gold? That's ridiculous the amount of full price day 1 games you get included in game pass - you don't get that for cheap. Nobody is forced to get game pass, if the value is there you subscribe. if there's a drought in games you unsubscribe like i just did a month ago. Will likely get back on game pass this fall/holiday and into 2023 when the games are flooding in.
