I sincerely thank everone who has answered! Good and to-the-point answers. Many people have clearly understood important parts of the game. When still having to choose only one, I’ll definitely pick this one:
“I love doing a lot of mistakes I won’t have to regret later”
That’s a great philosophy, which unfortunately isn’t always true in real life. BUT, in games, we don’t always need to follow the boring rules of reality. And in a skill-based-game like Trials, this comment (while being funny also), actually captures a key thing. It’s a physics based game, in which the player really controls the bike. And it’s the player’s skill that really develops while playing the game. Every success, and every mistake that happens – one thing is sure, you learn and develop your skills in both cases. So with mistakes in Trials HD, you sure don’t have to regret later. Actually, you could cheer every time you make a mistake. ‘Cause it means you have just become a bit better player.
And for all of you, sunny greetings from the Northern part of the world! At this time of the year in Finland, life is especially interesting. Summer is gone, winter is not yet here. In the autumn mornings, the day can be like a warm summer day, or it can as easily be a chilly winter day! And it most likely will change during the day – BUT you never know. So, you will most likely make a mistake no matter how you dress/clothe for the day. How do you learn from that mistake?
Some of us do it by staying indoors, and developing DLC for Trials HD 😉

Release Date: 23 October 2009 Genre: Animation Cast: Nicolas Cage | Kristen Bell | Bill Nighy | Freddie Highmore | Donald Sutherland Director: David Bowers Writer: Osamu Tezuka (comic series), Timothy Harris (screenplay) Studio: Summit Entertainment
Plot: Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist in the image of the son he has lost. Unable to fulfill the grieving man’s expectations, our hero embarks on a journey in search of acceptance, experiencing betrayal and a netherworld of robot gladiators, before he returns to save Metro City and reconcile with the father who had rejected him.
Those of you who have already downloaded it from PSN or bought it at your local retailer already know that Gran Turismo delivers an unrivaled and authentic racing experience on the PSP, not to mention a massive collection of 800+ cars. Polyphony Digital specifically designed the game for the PSP, with more accessible gameplay modes and more social gaming-oriented multiplayer racing. Gran Turismo breaks a lot of new ground, both technologically in terms of hardware performance, as well as in terms of bringing innovative new features to the Gran Turismo series that are tailored for gaming on the go.
A while ago I posted off Cubee’s to create the awesome Leon and Claire Cubees, they were a great succcess. NOW Capcom-Europe has just revealed the 2nd set of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles characters from their partnership with Cubeecraft: Chris Redfield and a standard Resident Evil zombie from Code Veronica.
Both of these will make a nice addition to the growing Resident Evil Cubee army!
