Review: TTGamer
________________
When you think about skate boarding videogames, you think about one name - Tony Hawk. There is no doubting the fact that ever since Neversoft and Activision teamed up for the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on the PSX back in 99, there has probably only been one name more recognizable in sports based videogames, and that's Madden NFL. THPS was and is popular because it combined hardcore skate boarding with pick-up and play arcade style gameplay, and it did it so well and dominated the genre so much that there was virtually no point in competing titles at all, and as such none came about that even got close to challenging its crown. That is, until now. EA have decided to enter the long since emptied out pool that is the skate boarding video gaming genre with SKATE, but with a twist, because while the Tony Hawk series caters towards the mainstream gamer with its arcade-ish style, SKATE is dictated by the laws of the real world
