Oddly, there is something strangely addictive about Hydro Thunder Hurricane though. Whether that’s simply because you’re a sucker for punishment or just can’t get enough of whizzing around the waterways of Area 51, this Summer of Arcade title will entertain for a short while at least – especially if you have three mates to get the four-player local splitscreen going. However, by the time this Arcade season is over, Hydro Thunder Hurricane will become a distant memory and only live on to the most hardcore of the original fans.
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 don’t know why they bother, but on the flip side PS+ is following the same path now that they have Spartacus.
Yeah fifa 22 is just the same as 10/12 year old Xbox 360 games 🙄🤦🏻♂️ 🤣 do people even think about what they are saying let alone actually typing out and pressing add 🥴🤣
@RoweeSon
You’re absolutely right! I don’t know what came over me. I’ll be sure to think before I speak from now on. I appreciate your help with showing me how wrong I am.
@rosweeson
I mean honestly speaking fifa 22 is basically the same as a 10/12 year old 360 game since fifa is basically the same every year.
I think Microsoft is trying to make PsPlus look good with these horrible GWG line up.
They're just trying to get people to move over to GPU for better options. Otherwise, whoever is subscribed just doesn't care about the games and just online stuff.
Basically.
I've said this latest month but GWG is strictly for the casuals who have gold only. Just like you said if you want better options then get Gamepass. GWG is no longer for the hardcore audience anymore.
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!"
I need to play this NOW!!!
I've been playing the original night and day. It's so addicting.
I liked the demo, but it still doesn't feel like it's worth the price. I'll probably get it when it goes on sale!
me too
Like both of you guys, the only reason why i am not playing this game right now is the price. For 10€$ i would not have think a second before buying it.
