Console Monster writes: "It's been a good year for demos and F.E.A.R. 2 can be added to the list. With the Resident Evil 5 demo next week, releasing it now could prove to be a good tactical move. Another bit of content I certainly didn't expect was for Skate 2, which releases across Europe tomorrow. The content unlocks all locations, skaters and gears for 400 Microsoft Points. I'm sure that will go down well… Here is the full Xbox Live Marketplace update for Thursday 22nd January 2009:

Since the mid-90s, skateboarding games have remained a popular past time. But which are the best skateboarding games?
There is no way in hell they put the cover of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 as the thumbnail for "best skateboarding games." Good Lord.
Oh dear God the OG TH games are amazing. THUG 1 2 and THAW were badass. It's hard to pick. The EA Skate games were amazing too especially Skate 3.
Never got the chance to play Session or Skate XL but I want to try.
As far as classics...the THUG games and Pro 4 were my favs. I still play those games on my OG Xbox to this day!
Smh still no Skate on PlayStation 4 or 5. All these new budget skateboarding games are glitched trash. The new Skate will be good, but nothing will give me that crazy feeling like OG skate demo, that was a revelation
Here's a list of Xbox 360/PS3 games that would be great on the Nintendo Switch (at a modest, reasonable price of course). These games could really flourish if given a new lease on life, introducing a new generation to their greatness.
I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope
I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.
Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)
Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.
EA has announced that the Skate 2 servers for PlayStation and Xbox will be shutting down in early December 2021, bringing an end to over a decade of fun.
Game awards skate gameplay? I’d be hyped. All I’ve asked for over the years from EA is a skate sequel and a dead space 1 remaster. If they nail these games me and EA are cool. Clean slate, no hate. Do they make really dumb moves all too often? Yes. But It’s not like they are activision blizzard.
throw in battle for middle-earth 1-2 remastered with multiplayer servers running and im game
For those games you would clean the slate with EA you mean?
I said I’d never forgive them for what they did to visceral and black box but the visceral guys are making a “dead space” sequel anyway and they are free from EA. And a skate is being made. If they ruin dead space 1 I will never forgive them lmao. If they bang these out with fire? Even Steven.
there is no cleaning the slate with EA anymore (in the short term), but bfme 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time, I just want to play them online again with a decently sized playerbase. Ive been hoping for a remaster for these games for years now, but WB has the lotr license now, so there is basically no chance of it happening.
lol what a hilarious day to announce this
Props to them for keeping them up as long as they did though
