Well, well, well. Here we are starting the new year off with some very good news for all of you Skate/Skate 2 fans out there! Microsoft has updated their Skate 2 page on the Xbox website with a nice sweepstakes deal they are going to be running for those of you who download the Skate 2 demo between the 8th of Jan to the 15th!
I recently had quite a few hours of hands on time with Skate 2 on my trip to EA Blackbox in beautiful Vancouver Canada, and I must say this is the skating game to end all skating games, this is the holy grail for those of us who are die-hard skateboarders / skateboarding fans. I can honestly say I’ve never been captivated by a game as much as I was with Skate 2 in all of my years of playing video games, there is just something about landing that trick that you’ve been trying for hours and getting a gnarly replay out of it!
Skate 2 releases this month on the 21st, I personally was really surprised the game was coming out as early as it is, so much was added into the new iteration of Skate that it’s just mind blowing that it’s already done. I’ll be writing up a very comprehensive review of the game once I get my hands on it and hopefully get copies for both systems so I can also post up some graphical comparison videos for those of you who are on the edge about which console you should purchase it for.
Happy new year and I’ll be looking forward to skating with everyone in this new year
