WP7: 6 Weeks Of Must-Have Games Schedule Revealed



Hydro Thunder Go – May 25, $4.99

We’ve heard rumors about Microsoft’s “6 Weeks Of Must-Have Games” promotion, but we never got a solid date. There were rumors that Angry Birds would be released for Windows Phone 7 on May 25th. While Angry Birds is a part of the lineup, its not the first game, its actually the last. The good news? The promotion begins next week, on May 25th (just before the Trophy launches on Verizon).

The first game is Hydro Thunder Go, which is a Windows Phone-only exclusive (not a port like most other games).

“Blast through 12 ferocious courses with the powerboat of your choice and compete against 15 devious opponents with strategic use of your Hydro Boost power, Mighty Hull and Hydro Jump abilities. In addition to visually stunning environments and insane track layouts, the ever-changing water conditions keep the races varied and interesting.”
