Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (PC)

Tony Hawk is the only name worth knowing in skateboarding. THPS finally puts an end to the trend of repetitive and boring extreme games. You just don't skate around and do tricks; you battle against friends, discover new moves, explore huge envirnoments, and find lots of hidden goodies. The game offers 4 modes of play, which includes a challenging career mode and 2-player modes. The career mode is divided into competitions and courses. First you pick your character (9 to choose from, and 2 are hidden), then your board, turning configuration, and the color of your wheels (why, I dont know!!). Most levels have multiple objectives. These objectives consist of ...  Read the complete review

This is probably the best game I have played on for a long time. The idea of the game is to collect tapes for doing various things. For example getting a high score or finding them hidden in hard to get to places. Also there are things like smash 5 objects hidden around the level.

If you consider yourself a great gamer and enjoyed the first then this game is for you. If not spend you money on some-thing else. ...  Read the complete review

This is the first of the two skateboarding games. When this was released, it made a new genre of sport games and was the first one to be just about skateboarding. All the others before it failed. It has a large number of skaters to choose from and lots of things to do. There are a lot of videos to unlock and watch. You will be playing it for ages. It is well worth the money. But if I were you, if you don’t have the first one or second one, then I would advise you to buy the second one. ...  Read the complete review

i will (and this is a promise) shake the hand of the man who made this game everyday for the rest of my life! there are very few words in the nglish language to describe how good this is! and boy is this good! the graphics are unrivaled to the very day the second was realeased! the players are crisp and dont occasionally hiccup for no reason or disappear! the sound track is awesome! i played this game for 18 hours with only breaks to eat the bare minmum to survive on and i couldn't find any bugs, glitches or general flaws in this game apart from the infuriatintigly addictive gameplay! my mother came into my room to see if i was still alive and she found me in front of a ...  Read the complete review
