de-blob-2-360-boxartDe Blob has come back for a double rainbow!

Blue Tongue’s sequel has this time moved from the lonely Wii corner and embraced every console’s disc tray besides the PC, in an aggressive way to boost its popularity.

Will De Blob bring colourful happiness to your screens?

I personally found the original De Blob to be a very tough game to evaluate and review. It screams ‘classic platform/adventure’ reminding us that Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts was not what most of us had hoped it would be.

But De Blob never quite reaches that premier level that RARE used to be so capable of reaching. I’m not sure why but I even had memories coming back of Glover from the Nintendo 64.

OXCGN’s Trials HD XBLA Review

trials-hd-riderIf you’re like me, in moments of extreme boredom you have resorted to playing an online flash game.  Dirt Bike; one of the many flash games was my game of choice. Where you simply controlled a 2d dirt bike and guided it over an obstacle course, which was extremely addictive and fun and sometimes very frustrating.

Trials HD, developed by RedLynx takes that awesomeness and times’ it by 10, bringing HD graphics, physics, level creators, frustration and fun to the Xbox 360 console as a fully fledged arcade title. This is a game that everyone can enjoy if they give it a go as its so simple to play.

Essentially the goal is simple, get your bike across the 2d plane obstacle course and cross the finish line without crashing, and thanks to its very simple controls, almost anyone can give this a go, the right trigger accelerates, left trigger brakes, and the left joystick adjusts the angle of the bike. And that’s it, 4 buttons, this is a ‘pick up and play’ game at its finest.
