Tony Hawk Ride

Activision is releasing a new skateboarding game this fall called Tony Hawk: Ride, and what’s so special about this new game?  The controller: it will be a wheel-less skateboard that contains two accelerometers and captures the player’s actual movements to control the on-screen action.  Just like Guitar Hero and Rock Band gave people with no musical talent the ability to experience rocking out, Tony Hawk: Ride will let people with no skateboarding experience shred.  Pretty cool concept and from the video it looks like it will be fun.  The game costs $120, a little more than a decent deck for actual skateboarding.
