PSA: Nail'd demo hammers Xbox Live
Though we liked the game, you still might be wondering if Techland's ATV racer Nail'd is your cup of, er ... nails? Good news then: There's a demo of the game now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace -- currently only for Gold members -- that'll drive you to either buy, rent or delete.
Nail'd review: Ride on my beautiful balloon
There isn't a googolplex of collectible vehicles. There are no gear ratios. Realistic physics? Nope. Meticulously recreated real-world racetracks? Not a chance. Instead, there are hot air balloons majestically floating thousands of feet in the air. It's your job to straddle an ATV (or motocross bike if you prefer), get some speed and jump over those balloons. If you're still reading this, there's a good chance you'll enjoy Nail'd. %Gallery-95785%
Nail'd nails down new Nov. 30 launch, low price
It looks like Nail'd has made a death-defying jump, leaving its former October 19 release date in the dust. The game will now track dirt all over retail carpets beginning on November 30. Furthermore, publisher Deep Silver has announced that the game will sell for the wallet-friendly price of $49.99 on Xbox 360 and PS3. The PC version will be an even more palatable $39.99. Find a new trailer after the break.
Southpeak Games bringing Nail'd, Two Worlds 2 and more to PAX
Worried you weren't going to get Nail'd at this year's PAX Prime? Southpeak Games wants to assure you that you absolutely will -- more to the point, you can stop by the publisher's booth to get some hands-on time with upcoming MX/ATV racer Nail'd (you see what we did there?). Southpeak is also bringing Two Worlds 2, Battle Vs. Chess, and previously unheard of motorcycle racer SBK-X for attendees to check out. Also, if you're over 10 years old, you could try your hand at some Nail'd speed trials for a chance to win the 70cc Mini-Motocross Pit Bike pictured above. While it might not put you in the running for "Toughest Motocross Dude Ever," it's a totally adorable little motorcycle. Who could say no to that? A monster, that's who. And you're not a monster, right?
Nail'd secures October 19 release date
Techland's insane ATV game Nail'd might defy reality in many ways, chaining together ridiculous stunts that nobody should ever do, on courses that rely on incredible, unlikely circumstances -- but even something with as little regard for the real world as this must adhere to linear time. To that end, publisher Deep Silver has announced a release date for the game: October 19 in North America, and October 22 in Europe. Past the break, you'll find a new trailer, absolutely loaded with both guitar rock and slow-motion absurdity.
Rise Against, Queens of the Stone Age get Nail'd
Nope, we absolutely could not help ourselves -- sure, we might be writing about how Rise Against and Queens of the Stone Age (as well as Slipknot and the Backyard Babies) will be adding tracks to Techland's upcoming off-road racer Nail'd, but that headline was right there, just staring us in the face! And though music from the aforementioned groups isn't scientifically proven to inspire racing precision in gamers, publisher Deep Silver believes the soundtrack will "fuel their adrenaline to the absolute limit." And what if players want to push it past the "absolute limit?" Glad you asked -- Deep Silver has teased another soundtrack reveal to be made in the near future, saying the announcement will inform us about music "created especially for the game by an all-star group of rock luminaries." Our best guess? Ratt. It's clearly Ratt.
Preview: Nail'd
"Do I really have to play that, Aubrey?" That was me, being dragged away from one demo at the SouthPeak E3 booth to play Nail'd by a friendly, well meaning PR rep. Can you blame my hesitancy? It's (1) called "Nail'd" (2) it's an ATV game made by (3) Techland whose last game was Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. Tempered expectations would be putting it mildly. But get this: It's great. %Gallery-95785%
Nail'd: ATV racing from the Call of Juarez team
Developer Techland has moved from the Call of Juarez to the Call of Four Wheelz with its new ATV racer, Nail'd, on the way to PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime this year via publisher Deep Silver. Personally, we'd want to keep our little ATV tires from being nail'd, but we're not racing experts. The racer combines high-speed ATV racing with outlandish obstacles -- according to Destructoid's preview, " There were rock slides, giant buzz saws moving about, and a jump that saw you sailing through a wind turbine. In one section, a 747 jet lands in front of you. There was even a segment that had the player racing on top of a moving train for several seconds." All in one track. For players who manage to avoid the stray planes, saws, and other hazards, performing tricks will build a boost meter to help enhance speed.
