Absolutely brilliant. I’m so glad I finally gave Skate a chance. I went for the second game as it was far cheaper to download it directly to the 360 than to buy a disc copy of the third game. I spent hours with this over the weekend, even when I didn’t mean to. I’m pretty rubbish at it, but the satisfaction gained from nailing a line after ninety minutes of trying can’t be beaten. Here’s a couple of things I did that don’t look impressive, but which made me very happy.

I’ve really got to thank my brother-in-law. If I hadn’t watched him playing Skate I’d never have bothered checking it out again after my pretty disastrous time with the demo of the first game. So Curt, thanks very much!
