TGH Writes: "Hydro Thunder was a classic arcade game in the days of yonder. I can remember going to play it at the arcade and feeling the rush of speed and fun it was. A racing game, on water! Who would have thought? Years have past since its debut in the arcades and on the Dreamcast then followed by its ports to N64 and Playstation One. Microsoft have bought the rights to Hydro Thunder and have created with the help of Vector Unit, Hydro Thunder: Hurricane the official sequel to the original. Does the title live up to all of its glory we once had with the title so long ago. Can it withstand the racers of today or is this boat tipped over."
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.
Microsoft has announced that several games are leaving Xbox Game Pass for PC and console.
Richard writes - "The Games with Gold scheme continues on into September and the first game available from the 360 side is Hydro Thunder Hurricane. And best of all, it’s playable for both Xbox 360 and Xbox One owners via Backwards Compatibility!"
awesome game
Fun game. I reccomend everyone at least try the demo when available.
