RedLynx teases Trials HD DLC 'BIG Pack'(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/06/trialshdscreensmall580.jpg)
If dynamite comes in small packages, it's fair to assume that lots of dynamite comes in BIG packages. Enter: a new teaser video for the "BIG Pack," an upcoming downloadable add-on to Xbox Live Arcade's bone-breaking bike-'em-up, Trials HD. It's an explosive montage of two-wheeler stunts that fly by too quickly for the brain to process, so be sure to make use of that pause button on the video embedded after the break.
Other things your brain may have trouble processing: a mischievous squirrel. He may seem an adorable little fellow, but if he's anything like the levels in Trials HD, he likely intends to murder us so often that we start to enjoy it. Just one more time!

this got great reviews (and is over advertised during 1 vs 100) but has anyone here played it? Is it worth a purchase?
I'm gonna give the demo a try I think, one of my Brother's mates plays it and really likes it.

Guess when Trials HD will hit a million and win loot
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/05/trialtest.jpg)
Like a hellbent motorcyclist, Trials HD continues to roar along at terrifying speeds. But rather than rushing towards an untimely death at the hands of a particularly inflexible brick wall, RedLynx's XBLA hit is fast approaching the one million downloads mark. Sure, that kind of breaks the metaphor, but we've come this far, right? Let's forge on together.
The developer plans on hitting the milestone soon, but is hoping its community can help it figure out exactly when with a new contest. Whichever fan manages to guess closest to the exact date and time will win "some super loot" from RedLynx, including a giant Trials flag and an autographed motorcycle helmet.
You can make your guess at the official contest page (http://www.redlynx.com/mpm_contest/), but be warned: We've already called dibs on "Pretty soon."
Trials HD expansion pack revealed
Big Thrills will contain 40 new trials and 10 user-created levels.
Trials HD will be getting another expansion pack, Big Thrills.
"Ever since we released the first Trials HD expansion, gamers have demanded more," said Antti Ilvessuo, the game's lead designer and creative director of RedLynx.
"They email us every day, they post on our message boards, and lately they've started calling my house and chasing me down the street. With this announcement, I can now emerge from hiding and get back to making games."
Scheduled for release towards the end of this year, Big Thrills contains 40 new levels and 10 levels created by fans.
"We're thrilled - no pun intended - to present this contest with our partners at Microsoft," said Tero Virtala, CEO of RedLynx. "We couldn't think of a better way to give back to our fans than to give them the opportunity to have their work featured right alongside ours in the next expansion of the legendary Trials HD game."
woohooo can't wait!
Trials HD jumps (and flips) past 1 million sales
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/09/trialshdmoneypile530px.jpg)
RedLynx is going to have to come up with a new name for the Trials franchise, because the trial done been passed. The company announced today that Trials HD has officially stunt jumped past the 1 million mark in sales, which, as RedLynx CEO Tera Virtala notes, is quite an accomplishment for "a company of about thirty-five people." Trials debuted on XBLA just over a year ago.
The next Trials DLC pack, Big Thrills, is slated to be released later this year and will feature forty new maps including ten user-submitted creations.
dammit, i want the DLC now, or atleast in a fortnight so i can finish Reach.
More Trials HD after Big Thrills DLC?
The forthcoming Big Thrills DLC pack won't be the last gamers see of Trials HD, RedLynx has hinted.
The Finnish studio's creative director Antti Ilvessuo told Eurogamer, "When we release Big Thrills, probably in late November or early December, we'll be delivering about 40 quality new levels, a bunch of new tournaments, and new achievements.
"That should keep our fans busy for some time. As to what's after that, only the squirrels know! But you've probably not heard the last of Trials HD."
Ilvessuo also told us more about RedLynx's next project - colourful WiiWare stunt racer MotoHeroz.
"We've always been a multi-platform publisher and developer, and we see WiiWare as a new opportunity to reach out to a totally new group of gamers who may not know much about RedLynx or the kind of games we make.
"Each game platform is different, and needs the right kind of games to fit both the platform and the audience for that platform. In MotoHeroz we saw from the start an exceptionally great fit for Wii. We have been busy developing that game and happily, MotoHeroz is turning out to be even better than we expected."
Trials HD will be a tough act to follow. CEO Terry Virtala recently told Eurogamer that RedLynx had shifted over a million downloads of its fiendish, brilliant XBLA racer/platformer.
Illvessuo is hoping he'll be able to bring some of those users over to MotoHeroz, despite its cartoony look.
"We focus on creating a great game experience, meaning games that we as developers would love to play," he explained. "MotoHeroz and Trials are different types of games, but we love both of them, so they both will appeal to a really wide audience.
"MotoHeroz will appeal to anyone who likes fast-paced, platform type games. It happens to feature fun race cars and dune buggies, but it plays more like a platformer, so everyone who likes platformer games should enjoy this too. That certainly includes Trials fans, but it describes plenty of other gamers too."
MotoHeroz launches on WiiWare in early 2011. Trials HD's Big Thrills DLC pack hits XBLA later this year.
