I've heard of few games causing more screaming fits from my friends than Trials HD.

After RedLynx finishes Trials Evolution in partnership with Microsoft, the developer will officially fold into the Ubisoft family.

The Assassin's Creed publisher is buying 'em up.

There are only a handful of bonafide blockbuster hits on Xbox Live Arcade, but Trials HD, which has sold more than two million copies to date, is one of them.

Financial details weren’t disclosed and Ubisoft and RedLynx aren’t talking about what's after Trials Evolution is released “in the coming months,” but the press release mentions extending the Trials franchise to “an even broader range of fast-growing digital platforms."

I only messed around with Trials HD, but I’m on board with the sequel, despite hearing how much of a time sink nailing those time trials can be. Everyone needs a terrifically frustrating game that's also super awesome every so often.
