Trials HD Demo (360)
Tried this on my netbook a while back – about the same time as Defense Grid, funnily enough – and didn’t really get on with the controls, so it took me a long time to get round to trying the Xbox demo.

If there’s any way I can afford some Microsoft points then this is going to get bought. It’s amazing.

Finally finished the tutorials, which got very, very hard. Then raced through the early non-tutorial levels having great fun. It’s got hard again now, though. Not sure if it’s too hard… but it might be.

An actual 3D game! Runs very smoothly and seems fun, in a slightly QWOP-like way. Only testing out for five minutes – in a slightly less-slumped position, but not exactly upright – doesn’t make for much to blog about.
