Sidetracked by Trials HD
I had originally intended to write about Avalon Code tonight, but before I get to that I have to discuss Trials HD.
Anyway, never in a million years would I have predicted that I would have become as obsessed with this game as I have, but it's been dominating my life for the last few days.
Reminding me a lot of an updated Excitebike early on, I knocked out the first few clusters of levels pretty quickly. I didn't get gold medals on all of them, but I did well enough to satisfy my own personal sense of achievement. Moving up, the Hard level was indeed hard. When I got to Extreme, I couldn't believe it.

LOW The Extreme level of difficulty is heartlessly punishing.
WTF Why limit the number of attempts or length of play on the hardest levels?
