GamingTrend: Tony Hawk: RIDE (360) Review

Skateboarding has been a phenomenon that has consistently defied convention and lasted a lot longer than anyone thought it would. Deceptively simple in design- a wooden plank with four wheels attached via two axles- yet undeniably elegant in execution, the popularity of this sport has waxed and waned several times in its forty-plus year history. For years the undisputed king of skateboarding video games was the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series, with its arcade-esque style gameplay considered to be a staple by gamers everywhere.
