A Review Of Every Skateboarding Game | The best + the worst

Still having a hard time believing that The Simpsons skateboard video game is shit. But we’ll take Jenkem’s word for it because it beats actually having to play a video game. If you’re into it though here’s the best and worst stabs at making a skateboard video game worthy of wasting your time. Wait are they even called video games? This doc on how Tony made billions of dollars from THPS is also pretty interesting…

Sample:

The Tony Hawk series is often romanticized and referenced in casual skate conversation, but the Hawk man wasn’t the only one trying to spread the gnar into the nerd world back in the 2000s. There were a dozen other greedy game developers trying to tap into that THPS money once it became a record breaking hit. Of course, nobody that took skateboarding seriously ever played them, because there really was no reason to own any other skateboarding game except Tony’s. Most of these games were just ripoffs that ended up in the dollar bin rack at your local GameStop, or at garage sales across the world. Out of sheer boredom, we did some digging for these long-lost and forgotten Playstation titles so you won’t have to torture yourself to find out if they’re worth your time.
