The last debate kicked off Dtoid boot camp and over one hundred votes were cast when I asked what the best football video game of all time was. Not only was a clear winner decided by our votes, but we even get to see the outcome of the whole Madden series versus the whole Blitz series. The top three most voted games are listed below, followed by the series showdown. And just in case you were wondering what the most voted Blitz/Madden games were, Blitz 2000 had seven votes, while Madden 95 led its huddle with just three votes. Sux 2BU! Here are the top results:
- Tecmo Super Bowl: 20 votes
- ESPN NFL 2K5: 13 votes
- Tecmo Bowl: 8 votes
- Blitz series: 20 votes
- Madden series: 12 votes
It looks like no new football game will be dethroning the classics any time soon. This week's debate is a skating competition that I've been saving for Dtoid boot camp month. All you have to do is pick your favorite Tony Hawk game, and compare it to the recently released Skate game. Which is the better skateboarding game, and what makes it the best? Give us a reason for your decision, get some skater buddies to give their opinions as well, and check back next week for the winner.

Contest:
skate.
and i have to go with Skate..
Or you could put me down for skate.
Tony Hawk: walk, flatland, awesome.
Skate: no walk, no flatland, no awesome.
so chalk it up to Skate.
Tony Hawk 2 is the best ever, though.
By the way, Fronz, you probably shouldn’t have used Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground in the image above if you want people to consider any of the games in the THPS series. By using that image, you’re pretty much guaranteeing that skate. will win, because most people will see the post’s title and picture, and assume that the decision is between those two games (and they won’t consider any of the first four games in the THPS series, which all rocked).
Skate for sure.
hands down.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I think a picture of Tony Hawk 2 next to Skate would have helped the Tony Hawk games get quite a few more votes.
The PS2 ones online were good cause of the glitchers,hackers and pros. Well anyways I'm gonna go with THUG 2, one of the worst but the best levels.
lolz.
I have played them both and the PS3 one suffers from frame rate issues and inferior graphics to the 360 version.
But if I had to choose, it would be Tony Hawk 2, only cause it was trying to be realistic from skateboarding point of view before backflips, impossible tricks, and the internet kicked in.
As for skate, it's called trying to put to much into something that is so simple. And it's only half-assed because if they wanted you to 'feel the moves' you'd be doing it with your feet, not your thumbs. Also, I might as well mention them wanting me to break my analog sticks - fail.
Skate is just revolutionary
I thought THP8 was the best TH game since THPS2, which I played the incessant crap out of. But skate. just works too well. I skate casually, and all my skateboarding friends LOVE skate. My friend who hates video games even bought Skate. so he could play it on my 360.
Skate gets my vote.
Skate ALL THE WAY.
Now, if only they made a Skate type game with rollerblading.
*sigh*
The answer, skate, because Tony Hawks latter games have been such abortions.
Tony Hawk Deux!
it is the only game i can play everyday.
Nah, Skate ftw. I sure did love THPS though. As someone upthread said, it hit that sweet spot.
