DESCRIPTION

EA's plan to challenge Activision's reigning Tony Hawk series for skateboarding supremacy proved to be a critical and commercial success, and the once original IP Skate officially becomes a franchise with the release of Skate 2. Players return to the mythical city of San Vanelona after a five-year hiatus, only to find security forces from the Mongo Corporation heavily patrolling a landscape drastically altered by earthquakes. Gamers must help restore the city's reputation as a skating Mecca by shredding around town and meeting up with 25 different professional skaters, including longtime vets Danny Way and Eric Koston.

The game once again makes use of a control scheme that relies heavily on the shoulder buttons and analog sticks, and Skate 2 doubles the total number of tricks available in its predecessor. There are more than 20 different areas through which gamers can ollie, rail slide, and kickflip, and the new option to roam freely on foot and manipulate more than 100 different objects means players can put together an infinite number of unique skating lines. The "skate.Reel" replay feature returns, once again letting gamers relive all of their best tricks, and a new graphics creator means skaters can outfit their gears and decks with original designs. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“Pretty impressive (and cool of you to share). You should add me on PSN -- my name's TheSmokingManX on there. I think you're dominating me in the Trophies department -- certainly in Platinums, of which I have none.”

“@ChangeAgent You know it! Very excited about the new stuff.
@TheSmokingManX Go ahead and add me (grumblybear) as I won't be on my PS3 until Tuesday or so.”

“That is some insane gaming dude. I'm glad that you're on my PSN your not some d-bag like most guys on Xbox Live but someone that likes games for the experience and not the dominance and competition. I'll take my Playstation Loyalist trophy now.”

“Yowza! That's one prolific summer of gaming... and all (what seem to be) top notch games. With PSN integration and some new profile game specific redesigned pages coming... I can see your gamerDNA profile starting fire from all the activity and viewers.

I'd like to 3rd @ChangeAgent and @TheSmokingManX in saying... thanks for sharing. Very cool.”

I look forward to more gaming activities from all of you.”

“Since we became friends on GamerDNA, I've been impressed by your gaming activity on here and a little jealous as I seem to always have something else to do! But reading your post has made me determined to get stuck into my backlog of games! I'll have to aim for a winter of gaming! Great post grumblybear and well done on your gaming achievement and your trophies! What did you get the platinum in, LittleBigPlanet?
Please add me to your PSN friends, my PSN name is LuckyLuxy
Look forward to your future updates!”

grumblybear was the last to comment - 3 months ago...

“@LuckyLuxy Thanks! Don't be too jealous, though. Classes start next week, so I won't be able to sit around ALL day and play video games. For shame! I won't have access to my PS3 until around Tuesday, so if you'd like feel free to add me (grumblybear) on PSN. I'll be sure to accept as soon as I get back to it.”

“Nice work sir! as had been echoed by @alphadoque and @changeagent, this is the kind of post we love to see here at gamerDNA. We are all avid gamers, and we really love it when people share about what they have been playing, both for posterity and for themselves.

I also want to say thanks to YOU for sticking with US while we navigate the treacherous waters of Internet Startups, new technologies, and social networks. We've certainly had our share of downtimes, slow times, and feature false-starts, but I think with the help of folks like you, we have been honing in on what we can do to make this site the place for gaming and gaming conversations.

We have been hard at work on a new deployment (should launch on Tuesday) and we had to scramble last minute to get in PSN data, but we are siked to do so, and you are the reason why. Finally PSN players can get some of the automation loving that only PC and XBOX players had on our site previously.

So thanks again, great post, and I hope you get lots more gaming in during the coming months! ”
