Today's Free App A Day is our very own MotoHeroz - if you haven't jumped in yet, there's no reason to hesitate.

MotoHeroz takes the fun, fast gameplay of a Trials style game, adds it to a frantic rally race, and delivers a fresh new kind of side-scrolling, platform racing game. Players race, chase, and rally their way through a brightly colored world, competing against their friends for the fastest times, entering daily races, and hunting for secrets and coins. Inspired by the critically acclaimed WiiWare game MotoHeroz, named “Best WiiWare Game of the Year” by IGN and Nintendo Life!


Plus, we just added a huge new update:

* 10 new tracks
* 2 new vehicles
* And more!

Eurogamer's Digital Foundry had a shot to talk to our very own Sebastion Aaltonen, affectionately known as sebbbi to our forums members (our forum? Click here!) about the more technical side of Trials Evolution.

 

"In this special deep-dive Digital Foundry tech interview, we go head-to-head with RedLynx’s Sebastian Aaltonen (aka sebbbi) to discuss the lessons learned from Trials HD, to get the thinking behind the ambitious Track Central editor, and to uncover the full story on the rendering improvements that power one of the most technologically advanced titles we’ve seen on the Xbox 360."

Trials Evolution Article Round-Up!

Maybe you've been too busy playing Trials Evolution to read any of the articles about it. I don't think anyone around here, or elsewhere, would really fault (get it?) you for that. So I have taken a few good reads out of the Press Coverage Thread, and will be sharing them here.

 

First up: 5 Reasons Why You Need To Buy Trials Evolution

 

Tim Brookes, from Makeuseof.com, has put together a nice little list of why everyone should buy Trials Evolution.

 

"Personally I’m not one to incessantly replay tracks for a better time, but Trials has turned me into an animal. I’ve not spent this much time playing an Xbox Live Arcade game since… Trials HD."

 

"Rarely does a game come along that I feel the need to celebrate it in such a manner, but Trials Evolution is such a polished production that provides so much bang for your buck that it’s bound to keep you busy for weeks."

 

 

Up next: Joystiq asks "Is Trials Evolution the Perfect Game?" 


Ludwig Kietzmann, from Joystiq, ponders the Perfection of Trials Evolution.

 

"That Trials can tap into your sense of speed and balance, even when you're stationary, shows an impressive collusion of technology and visual communication. And having conveyed the behavior of your vehicle (your in-game avatar, in this case) so well, the game is free to fill the road with devious, unnecessary obstacles. And what is a game if not a string of unnecessary obstacles?"

 

 

Finally, for today: Videogamer.com tells you "Why didn't Trials Evolution get a 10?"

 

"Trials Evolution is pretty much bang on the money at everything it attempts. I fully expect to see RedLynx's latest rear its head when Game of the Year 2012 discussions start happening, and right now if there's a purer slice of entertainment on Xbox Live Arcade I don't think I'd be able to play it without my brain melting."

 

 

So what are you waiting for? Click the titles and read the articles. Or go back to playing some supercross, we wouldn't blame you.

 
Gigatrack: There's Love for you out there!

"'Can you handle the ultimate race?"' demands the track description, despite the fact that the Gigatrack appears just 3/4s of the way into Trials Evolution’s single player campaign, at most."


"The answer is a resounding: 'No, we absolutely cannot handle it.'"

 

Simon Parkin from Hookshot.INC, calls out his game industry friends in his article about the montrosity, and beauty, known as Gigatrack.

 

"Trials Evolution is a physics puzzler but its heart is one of pure black competition. As you race to the finish line, it baits you with your friends’ floating names of inching ahead of you, representing their ‘best run’. “Not good enough,” the game implies through its passive aggressive real-time leaderboard read-outs.

 

“'How embarrassing for you,' it whispers, as you iterate on your failings till you find a spot on the leaderboards that is socially-acceptable enough to allow you to move on to the next stage."

 

 

What do you have to say about Gigatrack? Seems our FaceBook page has a few responses. Here are some of the Highlights:

 

"I decided when I got Evo I wouldn't pass a track until I was confident that the run was probably good enough for Platinum. When I finally unlocked the Platinum medals, I realized I was missing three; Home Run, Icarus Factor, and Gigatrack..."

 

"Basically a replica of what would b the perfect day out on your bike... awesome track"

 

"I hate gigatrack :/"

 

"I love it! It stands out from all the other tracks to me, and it's nice to have something different this time around because there was no other tracks like this! Even if I had hated it, I love seeing something different. :)"

 

"Hated it when I finished with 0 faults, but a time of 7:02... Love it now that I platinumed it with a time around 6:49. Would love it as a supercross track!"

 

"It's relaxing compared to the normal super-technical extreme tracks I play."

Gaming Lives goes all out on Trials Evo!

It seems that GamingLives has caught the Trials Evolution bug, transforming their site into a full-on Trials shrine. From a website re-skin, written and video reviews, and even a Trials Evolution give-away contest, they have shown just how BIG Trials Evolution is in the world of gaming.

 

What else? Oh yeah! They have bestowed upon Trials Evolution the highly coveted Golden D-Pad Award! We here at RedLynx couldn't be happier. Well, maybe if we had punch and pie.

 

 

From the written review:

 

"Before I get into this properly, I’m going to go out on a limb; I wouldn’t normally make a statement of this type, but I’m going to stand by it completely – if you enjoyed Trials HD, you’ll likely love Trials Evolution! A bold statement, to be sure, but one that formed in my mind almost as soon as I set off on the first track of the game.

RedLynx have done a sterling job in creating the follow-up to one of my favourite games of the last few years, Trials HD, and they’ve done it in such a way that you know for sure it is a follow up, yet it retains and enhances all of the fun and skills that made HD such a joy to play."


 


 

So what are you waiting for? Head on over the GamingLives, check out their review, watch the YouTube video, be in awe of the site graphics and tell them (and us, we have a thread about it!) how much you love it!
