If you’ve been to any Flash game site you’ve without a doubt played Trials or a similar motorbike physics game and chances are, you loved it. Well it seems like us Flash game addicts aren’t the only ones who love the game as RedLynx has recently announced that Trials HD has sold over 300,000 digital copies through the Xbox Live Arcade.

This is an amazing feat as the game topped the big 300k after being on sale for just a month. I think it’s now safe to see we will be seeing several Trials HD sequels, don’t you think?

Despite announcing a seemingly finalized lineup for the Xbox Live Summer of Arcade, Major Nelson has once again updated his blog, this time notifying us of a change.

Apparantly, instead of TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-shelled launching on July 22nd, Splosion Man will instead take that spot with TMNT launching on August 5th.

Below the updated list:

  • July 22: ‘Splosion Man 800 Microsoft Points
  • July 29: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 1200 Microsoft Points
  • August 5: TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-shelled 1200 Microsoft Points

    It seems that Major Nelson has recently updated his blog to notify gamers that there is a whole slew of content on its way to the Xbox Live Arcade this summer. Most of these games we already knew about but this gives us a clear release window and price point for each title:

  • July 22: TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-shelled 1200 Microsoft Points
  • July 29: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 1200 Microsoft Points
  • August 5: ‘Splosion Man 800 Microsoft Points
  • August 12: Trials HD 1200 Microsoft Points
  • August 19: Shadow Complex 1200 Microsoft Points
  • Considering I’m a huge fan of the fighting genre, the only game I will be picking up this summer (off of the XBLA, at least) will be Marvel vs. Capcom 2. What about you guys?
