    The high point for me was the umbilical/controller cord. The rest was kinda weird.

    Also, I thought the skateboard was the woman up until the birthing scene. They should really have been more clear about that. xP #tonyhawkride

    I'll admit, the cutting on the [umbilical] cord was a neat gag, but I get the feeling that's all they could come up with and so they played around with a controller and skateboard and called it good.

    Either way, does this mean that third party controllers are adopted, or rather of the test tube variety? #tonyhawkride

    While I still think this is overpriced. I read a rumour somewhere that they were planning to use this peripheral for a silver surfer game.
    I think it was in an OPM or something. This is still over-priced but if that game's any good (whenever it gets previewed) , it'll make me think about getting this one.

    How many Canadians will take offense to being part of the United States "territory?" :¬)
    On an unrelated note, I miss the old Tony Hawk games. The first was something completely new, the second approached gaming nirvana. Three and four weren't bad either, but they also marked the time when Activision's "milk the hell out of it" mentality popped up. It's been downhill since then.
    I don't want fancy motion controllers, or simplified Wiimote versions of the game. Just give me a good arcade skateboarding game, and we'll call it good. Bonus points for Marvel or Star Wars cameos, too.

    @spiderweb1986: IMO 3 is the pinnacle of the series, as it was pretty, smooth, and execution/level design was really very good. It was a perfect marriage of the power of the PS2 with a game that benefited from good draw distances, larger continuous levels, and some of the best trick lines in the series. THPS4 was too ambitious, with its awful minigames, and just failed to capture the spark that 3 had. Underground was good, but the series has just gone way downhill since then. I can't wait for the THPS/GH crossover!

    @spiderweb1986: I am used to being lumped in under United States but I'm a bit snobbish with pride when it comes to being Canadian and when I travel I notice that people are A LOT NICER to me once they know I'm Canadian. For how similar our countries are If you look hard enough you will notice that we are miles apart on many things. I take pride in knowing that MY GREAT COUNTRY would NEVER vote on the rights of minorities and that ALL people here are respected as equal.
    And PS... we never elected anyone as stupid as Bush, and we also never RE-ELECTED anyone as stupid as Bush!!!
    PSS Canada is, as of now, the FIRST country to get out of this recession that our big brother to the south got everyone into!!! Why? Because we are ballin' out of control and, of course, know how to run a country properly.

    @Minck: I'd like to point out that close to half our country voted for Gore in 2000, and Kerry in 2004. I'd also like to point out that there are plenty of Americans that support gay rights. It's nice of you to paint an entire, diverse nation with one brush, though - it really does simplify things, even if it is COMPLETELY WRONG.

    And some of us still haven't gotten Rock Band 2 yet in our countries.. Namely those countries that won't be getting Ride 'till 2010. I know Activision and MTV Games/Harmonix are different companies altogether, but what's with the unreasonable delays? And does anyone know if RB2 will be released before RB Beatles?

    That's some fancy packaging they have for their plastic death board.
    Mark my words, just like the first couple months of the Wii, there's going to be YouTube videos of kids flailing around on that board.

    Video games have been going down this slippery slope of ridiculous peripherals for a while now. Hopefully this will be the one that "jumps the shark" and kills this trend. I'm just so sick of having to do things in video games. I just want to press buttons again. Like the good old days.

    @dowingba: Even though I agree the peripheral-mania needs to slow way down, hoping this particular one will fail is narrowminded and mean. There are plenty of classic games coming out for you buttonpushers. This is a game+peripheral many have wanted for a long time. (Ever since they played those skateboard games in the arcade.) For those of you that don't want to play it, just stand back and don't buy it.
