Marketplace Roundup… The summer continues

It’s a hot, sticky summer…

Microsoft’s XBLA Summer of Arcade continues today with the release of the wet (and really quite cool-looking) Hydro Thunder Hurricane. If you’re a bit tired of being chased by massive evil spiders and small children with a death wish, Hydro Thunder Hurricane offers the exact sort of arcade gameplay many have been hankering after.

Don’t forget, if you buy all five of the Summer of Arcade titles, the big M (that’s Microsoft) will refund you 1200 Points.

Hydro Thunder Hurricane

Arcade boat racing action with some bouncy-bouncy wave physics. This is a great little distraction of a title with some quick thrills – exactly what you need after Limbo. Check out the review here.

Also out today on Games On Demand…

The Lord Of The Rings: Conquest

Hack and slash action on the battlefields of Middle-earth. It didn’t review particularly well when it was released, and you can find out why here.

Smackdown Vs Raw 2008

Lay the smack down with, er, SmackDown Vs RAW 2008. If you can’t remember how good this one is – and, let’s face it, who could blame you? – check out our reviews here.

Smackdown Vs Raw 2009

Lay the smack down once more with, er, SmackDown Vs RAW 2009. If you can’t remember how good this one is – and, again, who could blame you? (aren’t they practically the same game with slightly better graphics?) – check out our reviews here.
