So, what is Trials HD? It’s probably best described as a time/score attack game, where you have to get your rider and his motorcycle through an obstacle course as fast, and as safely as possible. It’s not particularly original – ExciteBike was the first on the NES, and there are a whole host of flash games based off the idea, and Trials HD itself is not the first in the Trials franchise – but Trials HD took the concept further than ever before, putting it in a graphically impressive 3D environment, bolstered by equally impressive physics.

It’s particularly scary as that was the year I started University, and my housemate introduced me to a cracking little game by the name Trials HD. We ploughed hours into chasing personal bests, climbing online leaderboards and had a great laugh in the process. That is the beauty of this game, as the addictive and entertaining gameplay is perfectly balanced by its slapstick charm."

What better time than now to grab a few bargain games from the Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale and get your stashed saved up for those rainy winter days. Well, there is no better time and right now we see the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale hit home once more, delivering all manner of Xbox One and Xbox 360 bargains our way. But what is on that list? Well, how does the following sound?"

Delivering discounted Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles from now until the 30th July 2018, if you are looking for a new game or two, but don't want to spend too much of your hard earned cash in doing so, then this is the way to go. It's full of brilliant games at low prices."
Love these sales, they seem to be happening more often as of lately. Picking up hell blade.
Anyone play Watchdogs 2? The first was decent, but heard some people say the second was significantly better...Anyone here verify that?
Never played the second one. But the reviews for it were very good and it was really well received.
Yeah man the 2nd was much better. Didn't take itself quite as seriously as the original did and there are some pretty ingenious ways of completing missions.
The 2nd one was much better. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I didn't even finish the 1st one. It is pretty fun to play coop as well. (You can't do the main missions coop, but there is still a lot to do outside of main missions.)

God, I love Trials HD. I spent so many hours competitng with friends for the best time, but the best aspect was the level editor. I would sit and draw out designs in a notebook and then spend weeks getting one track just right. I even had quite a following on the Xbox.com forums who looked forward to each time I released a new track.
Happy days.
Actually, I'm going to go have a shot of it. Just one go. Just one. One more. And another......
