Physics Games and Physics-Based Game Downloads

I’m a huge fan of the Trials series of games (Fun-Motion reviews: Trials, Trials 2 SE), so it’s great to see the series headed even more into the mainstream with an August release of Trials HD for Xbox 360. They’re launching the game as a part of the Summer of Arcade promotional program. Trials HD will be available on Xbox Live Arcade on August 12th at 1200 game points. It looks like they’ve added quite a bit to the game, too:

The much-loved IGF finalist, Hammerfall, has finally officially re-emerged as Hammerfight. The name change has been hinted at through Russian magazine scans and twice-translated forum posts, but this marks the first time something from Konstantin Koshutin himself has appeared online.

The new Koshutin.com website features new screenshots, game information, and a video trailer. No release platforms are mentioned. Hammerfight/Hammerfall is awesome—currently #3 on the all-time charts here at Fun-Motion–and I can’t wait to see what a year of polish has done for the game!

The website speed is quite slow, so I’ve mirrored the new trailer here:

Update: A 20MB demo is available, although likely in Russian only (it looks like the English version isn’t ready yet). I’ve mirrored the demo here:
