Tony Hawk to Announce New Skateboarding Game.

The Tony Hawk series used to be one of my favorites when I was a kid. However Activision made the same mistake as with Guitar Hero and Call of Duty by releasing a sequel for every year leaving little for innovation and change, seriously guys sometimes less is more.


While "Proving Ground" was quite enjoyable I was certain that the series was dead when they went to build the skateboard peripheral for Tony Hawk: Ride. After 2 years of no releases, the Birdman revealed on his twitter account that he will be unveiling his new skateboarding game at the Spike VGA's on the 10th.

"I'll be announcing the upcoming release of something new on Sat; the same day as the Spike Video Game Awards. Coincidence? I think not,"

All I can hope for is that the game will go back to it's roots. Seriously, I do not want another skateboard prop or a kinect based- game...

That has to go, along with Bam Margera.

Let's talk about Mass Effect 3. Remember this picture?

Well it looks like everyone's speculation was correct, it is part of the new up coming Mass Effect game. The details for ME3 (from EA's site):
"Earth is burning. Striking from beyond known space, a race of terrifying machines have begun their destruction of the human race. As Commander Shepard, an Alliance Marine, your only hope for saving mankind is to rally the civilizations of the galaxy and launch one final mission to take back the Earth."

The trailer itself does not show much except for Earth being attacked and Shepard



The VGAs didn't announce many great things. The only ones worth mentioning are Mass Effect 3,  and Arkham City mainly. Well, that's my opinion that is. The winners were pretty well done, and I'm really glad that BioWare won Studio of the Year. They deserve it.
