Here are some new Skate 2 screens, but where's my meat?  photo

Electronic Arts has sent us some new Skate 2 screens, no doubt getting us amped up for the game's January 21 release.

We get new screenshots. Stephen Totilo at MTV Multiplayer, on the other hand, the dude gets steaks. Yes, EA sent Totilo two Omaha Steaks as a "promotional item" for Skate 2. Because Totilo has journalistic integrity, he will likely refuse to eat the steaks, maybe even give them to a homeless shelter. 

Me? I want some God damned steaks. I'm hungry over here. EA has already assured us that a review copy of Skate 2 is on the way and should arrive this week, but there was no mention of steaks. Meat or no meat, keep your eye out next week for a full review of EA Black Box's sequel.

Meat would, of course, help me write the review. But don't worry -- if all it took were two juicy steaks to color my opinion of a game, journalistic integrity would be the least of my worries. I'm talking about heart disease, of course.

Ahhhhh yeeeeaaaah. It's almost here.

I played the first one all the way up until I got my hands on the demo for this one.

Also... I don't think I would eat meat from EA. Just... I don't know... doesn't sound right.

If they improved the multiplayer by even just a little bit, Skate 2 is going to be a lot of fun for a very long time.

What would Andrew Dice Clay say? " Eh Oh! You what you meat! Its right here!" *Grabbing crotch*

Sorry, Enough with the tasteless disgusting jokes!

I seriously had no idea this game was comming out January 21st. It seems so soon, and its like I barely heard or seen anything about this game. Ill have to give it a try sometime.

Did anyone else who played the demo feel like the game didn't control quite as smoothly as the first? I played the demo once and felt compelled to go back to the first. The frame rate didn't seem as high either.

IDK, I was kind of disappointed. Might not be buying this, despite the great new features. Stoked is higher on my list for sure.

I only started getting into the first one this week, and it's really fun so far. My friend is finding the analog stick controls to be very frustrating, but I'm enjoying the feel of the game.

Just an update, EA did send me the steaks ... but to the wrong address. My old address. And the bastards SIGNED FOR IT. I think that's illegal. But I did get the game (PS3) in a separate package, which is more important to my job than meat. But man, I'm hungry ...
