I picked up Skate on the cheap with some post-Christmas cash. Am absolutely loving it. Can't remember the last time skateboarding in a game was so much fun. So I'm looking forward to Skate 2!

And only have to wait a week to get my hands on (some of) it. A competition page on Xbox.com has let slip that a demo for the game will be ready for download on Thursday January 8 (meaning a PSN version will probably be out on the same day), along with a chance to win some Skate 2-related prizes.
