Trials 2

Trials 2 Gets Some Love

by Leave a Comment

For a game that doesn’t get a lot of mention in the “professional” (I love doing that now) press, it seems to have a strong online following. We gushed all over it. It’s a strong contender for my 2008 FGOTY.

It seems as if the developers are giving it a little bit of love:

  • Added new voice-overs
  • Added new language support. Now supports English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Spanish and Swedish
  • Improved in-game chat and private messaging
  • Added new high-end graphics options, as well a new graphics mode optimized for low-end machines and laptops
  • Added 14 new downloadable tracks

RPS found it first. This has been a great week for extra game content.

Monday Madness?

It’s Monday and it’s time to get mad. Well, not really. It’s great to be hydrated and back in the land of the living. wash your hands and don’t eat poop.

First, the University of Michigan has created the COM-BAT. What is it? It’s a six inch robotic spy plane shapes like a, well, you know, a bat. Pics and coolness.

I like LEGOs. I like Assassin’s Creed. Chocolate and peanut butter. Take a leap of faith.

Please try the demo to Trials 2. I bet you’ll buy the game. If anything, watch the video. It’s…neat. Physics.

Spirit, the Mars Rover left to die before it’s time? I don’t think many will disagree that these rovers were probably some of the greatest engineering ever done by and for NASA. Godspeed, Spirit.

Finally, a car maker does something cool for the gamer crowd. The Pontiac G8 meets Spy Hunter. I love the Peter Gunn theme.
