Tony Hawk: Ride is a game you play with your feet on a plastic skateboard. My mother always told me if I have nothing nice to say about something I shouldn't say anything at all, so that is where I'll stop with my commentary on the game. However, if you desperately need more you can hit the jump and hear Tony Hawk and his skateboarding friends talk about how awesome the game is and how cool the new control style is.
Not just that, but this game is so great for the entire family. It's gonna get your kids off the couch and you'll play it with them and then everyone is going to hug. The entire family will gather together: Mom, Dad and their 2.5 children. They can all gather around and have some family time until Dad starts drinking and talking about how he could have been a pro-skateboarder if little Suzy hadn't come along. Then mom will remember how in shape she was before her 2.5 kids and get depressed and little Timmy, desperately trying to cheer her up by showing off, will accidentally fall off the board and break his leg, leaving the family in dire medical straights because they can't afford health insurance, and this is why we should have a public plan.
Tony Hawk: Ride to national healthcare in two paragraphs! I'm here all weekend, people.

Is that your real opinion on health care? If it's really how you feel, save it for the Examiner or something. No offense, just don't like politics all up in my Dtoid.
As it was, it worked well with your article. Cheers.
I cannot understand how America does NTO have public health care.
WIN WIN SITUATION FOLKS. WIN WIN. EVERY OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS ONE. WIN WIN I SAY.
As for Tony Hawk and his stupd peripherals. he can GDIAF, EOSAD, ESAD, and FOADIAF
Nope, he should have just had AFLAC. We would pay him a shit ton for that broken leg, and the plan costs less than $40/month for a family. Good try though.
Oh, and the game looks like shit. I will reserve my judgment til I play it, but I doubt my initial feelings will be changed.
GAWD! We all got sick of Tony Hawk game when they were cranking them out annually. That's fine, we needed a break and they needed to rethink the game. Now they have something fresh and everyone is trowing a bitchfit cause "Teh contolar is gae lol!!" and "moshun contolz are gae lol!!". Let's wait till it actually comes out shall we?
As for me. Eh, I'll try it, but probably won't buy it.
This game will fail because the general public are too fat to remove their asses off their couches. Not to mention the controller idea is absolutely poorly executed. I can't seem to remember where I saw Tony apparently playing this game with the controller. In conclusion, it looked like a disaster story.
I went through with the jump and it was a video about people pretending to skateboard?! WTF. Just kidding... I'm on the fence about this game, leaning towards no buy.

What a shame. Tony Hawk games used to be so good.
I don't think it was politics, I felt like it was just a joke with a little politic spice ...
It was early, and I was cranky.

Tony Hawk: Please, leave our games alone!
