I was rather surprised by the lack of a trials game on XBLA, even to the level of which I was contemplating jumping on the Indie bandwagon and create one myself. Unfortunately that gap in the market has now closed... closed tight! Trials HD does its job flawlessly and is everything a budding biker could have wanted for the genre.
The principle for anyone new to the genre is simple enough. Whilst riding a bike on a flat 2D plane, you must navigate up and down obstacles, balancing your biker to avoid falling off (or eating gravel). That's it. You can play and thoroughly enjoy the entire game with 2 buttons and an analogue stick. Thankfully that is the beauty of the genre, as with most great arcade games, anyone can get stuck in and do well, but the determined and skilled can master the game on an entirely higher level..."

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?"
Neil writes: "There is nothing better than being able to get your hands on a bargain or two and with the Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale providing little in the way of exciting discounts this week, it's good to see the Xbox Ultimate Game Sale arrive once more.
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?
