Usually it&#8217;s some old Half Life mod where you get insta-kills with the crowbar in death match. Or Screamer 4&#215;4.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s that motorcycle game I totally rocked last year? The one with the cool physics?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trials HD. It wasn&#8217;t last year. And you didn&#8217;t rock it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I totally did, and since I&#8217;m annoyed with LBP this week for screwing up my home network with its [failed] updates, I&#8217;m just going to give some love to that game&#8217;s successor, Trials Evolution, which I played for the first time last night. This works out just fine since the motorcycle game and the sackboy game use some of the same muscles. There was a particularly sweet moment when I had to negotiate my Scorpion over two giant rotating gears, and somehow I cleared the obstacle without a fault on the first try. &#8220;How did you do that?&#8221; It was more of an exclamation than a question. I was surprised too until I got to the end of the track and realized I was using skills instilled in me by LBP. Jumping. Balance. Timing. So, thank you Sackboy, but you&#8217;re in the doghouse this week in favor of Trials Evolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1654,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-features"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
