A fun announcement from Microsoft at this year's Gamescom came in the form of a new game called Screamride. The game will be launched exclusively for Xbox and it'll definitely be a game to try if you were a fan of PC games like Roller Coaster Tycoon. Part of the fun of Roller Coaster Tycoon was to push the amusement park goers to their limits, and this is exactly what this game does.
Rather than just being a place where people mindlessly get on and ride, Screamride makes humans an essential part of testing the rides and seeing how much the boundaries of physics can be pushed. In the trailer video that was released at Gamescom, you'll even see one guy trying to hold on for dear life and then fly out of the back of the coaster's car.
