Enter Tony Hawk. He was (and still is, to some extent) one of the biggest names in professional skating, and he is synonymous with late-90s popular culture. The same goes for the Tony Hawk series of video games published by Activision, which has been one of the most successful extreme sports franchises of all-time. Still, in recent times the series has hit some hard times, and after the two flops Tony Hawk: Ride and Shred, I had a feeling that this long-running franchise had reached its end. As most people should know though, Bobby Kotick doesn’t know when to quit, for now we have a brand new Tony Hawk game. However, this one actually had a lot of promise going into it, because Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD is a remake of the first two games in the series (obviously two of the best ones). Is this game a welcome reboot for one of Activision’s oldest series or a failure consumed by nostalgia?
PC Aficionado: "Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD will be taken down from Steam next week, on July 17. You can get it for 80 percent off now."

It's not a great sale and doesn't bode well for Battleborn being price cut already.
