MMGN writes: I’ve been screaming out (sorry) for a new rollercoaster game on consoles since the solid if a little hollow Thrillville series from the ‘00s. With Screamride, I expected something similar: an open-world theme-park manager, split between accessible mini-games and complex ‘coster design, of which creator Frontier Developments is renowned for. While Screamride shares DNA with Frontier’s other roller coaster creations, it’s by far the most unique title from the studio, taking a page out of the Trials handbook of meticulous level design. Don’t worry: there’s a very deep sandbox mode here. But Screamride is much more a game about high score leaderboards and community, which gives it a fresh, exhilarating twist.
Xbox Game Pass Quests recently reset for the month of July. So if you try to collect as many Microsoft Rewards points as possible, there's a new set available now.

There are a whole ton of them and surely this is the week for you to crack open the wallet?"
Quite a big sale but not entirely convinced all are decent deals. Glad to see the 360 gets a few more offers this week. I wish Screamride was on sale by itself!
Gears Ultimate Day 1 Edition? I can understand picking up day 1 physical editions at later dates, that were stuck in the retail channel for whatever reason. Late "day 1" digital sales make no sense at all though.
This is the 5th or 6th time they've had Battlefront on "sale" in the last few months
Still overpriced imo
Colm Ahern: "The phrase, “on rails”, is perfect for Screamride. The roller coaster, Xbox One exclusive, came out last year and is the latest title to get the once over, here on For Your Amusement."
Another decent score
Looks like this game might do ok.
Well done was getting it anyway but good for the devs getting some praise.
