Tony Hawk: Ride videos are in-game and out-of-game

November 6th, 2009 at 06:30pm Under Xbox 360

We debated which of the two video assets Activision recently sent us for Tony Hawk: Ride should go a the top of the post, and which should be relegated to the unfavorable, post-jump real estate. The in-game trailer is pretty slick, and features that super catchy We Are Scientists jam. (You know the one, you hip guy, you.) However, the gameplay demonstration actually shows the peripheral being used to go on a “sick run,” apparently part of a long-standing feud between Activision and Robomodo.

We decided to put the “sick run” at the top of the post, if only because we want you to know that this is exactly how we looked the first time we played the game at E3. Only we didn’t crash quite so much, and also, when we finished playing, Tony Hawk himself came up and gave us a high-five with one of his giant hands. Check out the video above, then click past the jump to check out its neglected (but catchy!) brother.

Tony Hawk Ride dated, priced, limited edition’d in UK

August 6th, 2009 at 06:00pm Under Xbox 360

Activision has made the first official announcement regarding the price of Tony Hawk Ride. In the UK, a set containing the game and board will cost £99.99 ($169) upon its November 20 release. The only information we have for a North American price to compare is the $120 at which GameStop currently lists the game. Apparently, the game is called Tony Hawk Ride because you’ll need to start riding in friends’ cars after you sell your own for peripheral money.

UK retailer GAME will offer an exclusive limited edition of Ride (Xbox 360/PS3/Wii), featuring the red-and-black hawk artwork seen above, for the same price. It also has the game’s logo on it so you don’t confuse it with a real skateboard. That would be embarrassing.
