Trials HD has got to be one of the most addictive and harmful games in recent memory. "I just got 500 faults and didn't even beat the level I was playing. Screw this, I'm never playing it again. Ever." Flash forward twenty minutes later: "I can't take this anymore! I need my Trials fix!"
I cannot be the only one to have experienced this phenomena, as Trials HD has garnered 300,000 in sales. When asked for a comment by CVG, the developers said they were "proud."
RedLynx CEO Tero Virtala also had the following to say: "We're a smaller, 25-person multiplatform studio, and for us this is an excellent example of how digital download space opens up significant opportunities that might not otherwise be available for creative and talented smaller teams."
I think most of us will agree that Trials HD is indeed a terrific game. Thankfully, for the sake of my neighbors' ears, I completed all of the levels, so I should be set for not swearing, at least until the new downloadable content comes out.

I love this game
@tgammet Trials is worth the $15 and then some, you sir, are missing out.
But seriously, screw those extreme levels. Screw them hard. I've wasted hours at a time just trying to complete that one difficult part, only to finally make it, then come up to another section just as hard or harder. That's where the game stopped being fun for me.
I love the game, I'm glad they did so well with it, and I'll probably buy whatever DLC they put out, but those extreme levels can die in a goddamn fire.
Would be nice for PS3 owners, if they got it too, but that's unlikely to happen until in 2010, if ever, especially how MS have been selling it on Live Arcade. I'm sure its probably in the pipe, for when MS exclusivity runs out. As a small developer, they could do with the income from a PS3 version.
Damn you, Trials.
