Want to see what this newfangled Tony Hawk: RIDE is all about? Head over to Giant Bomb and check out their 25 minute quick look and see if this is a game for you... and your $119.99 + applicable taxes.
Although certainly not my favorite site for news in general, I find GB's video offerings to be fantastic, especially considering the frequency of the content.
I found the video to be incredibly unfair. This is the third or fourth time I've watched a GB quicklook where they flounder around in a games training stages and set the game to "easy" and then essentially call it boring. Of COURSE it's boring on a setting that might as well be called "lame". Guitar Hero would have been equally boring in this quicklook.
I see the Tony Hawk games still have pretty good soundtracks. Just looked up the list. TV on the Radio? MGMT? Santigold? Hitting all the indie hipster star bands (which I fully admit to loving myself).
