031 - Need For Speed

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers. Once a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) at random. Whether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure. This month, Geekscape Games’ Shane O’Hare returns to the show to discuss 2015’s Need For Speed. Is it a reboot? Can it recapture the magic of Need For Speed Underground? No. Definitely not, but listen on anyways for lots of thoughts and an entertaining discussion.
