    1 Comments Let's face it, most of us have tried skateboarding at one time or another. For the majority of us, the experience was short-lived; a moment of exhilaration followed by the ignominy of falling off, shredding skin then watching enviously from a window as some lank-haired git nailed effortless Ollies while mum rubbed Savlon onto our scuffed elbows.

    Last year, the undisputed king of skater games well and truly lost his crown. Tony Hawk had to stand to one side to let EA's brand new franchise Skate, grind into the coveted top spot. The reason was pretty simple, in 2008, apart from a dire DS outing, Tony Hawk just didn't show up - there was no Tony Hawk game. Skate launched late in 2007 - but was a breath of fresh air in the face of the tired Tony Hawk's Proving Ground. With a fresh visual look and brand new control... Read more

    It's fair to say that Gamestyle liked skate. In fact, it's fair to say that we liked it a lot, awarding the game a score of nine out of ten and declaring it the best skateboarding title in years. So here we are with the inevitable sequel. Can it top its predecessor? Read more

    The career mode opens with a brief FMV depicting your character that has spent some time behind bars since his or hers last outing. The sequence ends with being let out into the general populous once again; and upon taking control you are lead through a small series of tutorials to help get accustomed to the controls. For those new to the series, Skate uses a control system known as ‘Flick It’. Rather than hitting a combination of buttons to perform tricks – such... Read more

    I. Love. This. Game. As a skater, there's really no substitute for being out there, plying your craft. At least, there wasn't until Skate came along. It was a radical step for realism, introducing a system where physics actually seems to matter, and your character has some weight, instead of just floating like a carnival balloon into orbit and back. Tricks actually take time to master, and you can sit at a spot for quite a while and dial in tricks just like you would on... Read more

    Fun: This review is from: Skate 2 (Xbox 360) (Video Game) My first ever skateboarding game was Tony Hawks pro skater 2, back in the 90's. Now, for those of you who can't remember this period of time, gaming was taking huge leaps, and all you had to do for Mr Hawk was press a button, then another button and hey presto! You'd done a 360 mega combo back flip with cheese! OK, maybe not cheese, but you get my point, the controls were simple and very easy to master. Enter... Read more
