More On: Trials HD
This DLC content for Trials HD called "BIG Pack" is going to add a lot of new content to the XBLA game.  It nearly doubles the amount of tracks to the game, adds more physics made objects, and adds more achievements to unlock.  There will also be a title update that adds other fixes and improvements to the game. 

The DLC will be 400 MS Points and will be available on December 23.    Find out all of the details in the press release as it specifies everything in the DLC and more about the title update.  There is also a video showcasing some of the new content at the end of this post.

Side Note
Since I just got 1600 free MS Points, I'm trying to decide what to buy.  Should I get Trials HD or something different (like Shadow Complex or Castle Crashers)?  Sound off in the comments or shoot me an e-mail with your thoughts!

In more detail, Trials HD – BIG Pack includes:
-35 brand new Trials HD tracks, with a special focus on medium and hard tracks, the difficulty levels most requested by players - the sweet-spot of track difficulty:
-23 racing tracks: 12 medium, 9 hard and 2 extreme – most with new physics objects providing Trials rides never experienced before
-12 skill game tracks
-Five new tournaments including all the new tracks -More than 50 new crazy physics objects: Car, rocket turbine, gravity field, wind, motor and many others! These objects will also be available on the level editor for users to utilize in creating their own tracks.
-Three new fun Achievements worth 50 Gamerscore

In more detail, free Title Update includes:
- Ultimate Endurance tournament simplified. This change makes the close to impossible Marathon achievement possible for much wider audience. The tournament now includes beginner/easy/medium tracks.
- Improved Down the Stairs skill game. The physics glitch all top players used is fixed and now the user has better control over the tumbling down rider.
- Fixed the corrupted leaderboard scores found in some tracks (zero times, impossible scores). All leaderboards have been cleaned off corrupted scores and we have a system in place to keep them clean in the future as well.
- Fixed a number of minor bugs reported by players and found by testers. Now the game is even more polished and stable than before.
Due to huge demand, the amount of tracks users can save in their hard disks and memory cards is doubled.

The following Trials HD Xbox Live items will also be launched soon:
-Trials HD Xbox premium theme
-Trials HD Xbox avatar item pack

As a special note, Chiptune in “1 bit part” of the trailer is made by 8 Bit Weapon and song is “Closer (Bitpop Mix)” (www.8bitweapon.com )

8 Bit weapon are Seth & Michelle and they have performed across two continents with their arsenal of 8 bit weapons. Inspired by classic videogame soundtracks and electronic music from the 70s and 80s, 8 Bit Weapon delivers a sound that is as unique as it is original. Clever melodies, nostalgic atmosphere, and energetic beats create a decidedly modern sound while maintaining a fun, lo-tech aesthetic. So we thought that in order to boost the theme we included their great song in the trailer! :D Check also other tunes.
