When Activision announced that last year’s Tony Hawk: RIDE was going to be released along with a skateboard peripheral, ya know, that fake motion skateboard, fans of the series worried big time. EA’s SKATE had come along and taken the crown from Tony and when Tony Hawk: RIDE was released, compared to other titles in the series, it bombed bad. Really bad.
