Off-road motorcycle games have been placed firmly on the Xbox video gaming map thanks to titles like MX vs. ATV and MTX Mototrax. Of course the harbinger to the Xbox's moto-X games was Nintendo's Excitebike-a two-wheel racer that, to this day, is still considered a benchmark for the genre.
Looking to become the new benchmark for all off-road motorcycle games is RedLynx' soon-to-be-released Trials HD. Trials is not a Motocross game though. In fact, it's not even a wheel-to-wheel racer in any shape or form. Oh it's a competition alright, but one that's amongst a rider, a bike and in Trials HD's case, a clock.

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?
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.)

This was on my list of arcade games to look out for, but now I'm probably going to get the demo and delete that in any time between 5 minutes to 3 days. Oh well, Next on my list, Perfect Dark.
I think its pretty cool.As a avid off road motorcycle fan I'm always in awe when I would watch the Trials riders while at the Croom off road park here in west central Florida.
For those wondering what Trials is ,the best way I can describe it as Ballet on a dirt bike.There not fast ,but they can climb and maneuver around tight stuff that a mountian goat wouldn't go near. It takes a huge amount of skill,balance,and confidance to be good at it.
This game should appeal to fans of the MX vs ATV series and to people that use to play Motocross Madness 2 on the PC. Also believe this will be a stand alone game and not a XBL arcade game. The best part of this game will be that you can try crazy things that no one in there right mind would try in real life and if you screw up, walk away with NO broken bones!!!
