Tony Hawk Ride Releases November 17th.
We know now the exact retail date for Tony Hawk Ride which is November 17 for the U.S. and November 20 for the U.K. and Germany. However, what is still a mystery is the price of the game as it comes with the new innovative skateboard controller. Retailers are listing it at $120 for the entire package but no official confirmation has been made.
Also, if you're going to be in Cologne, Germany between August 19 to August 23 (because you like to visit Germany a lot), you can get a test skate with Tony Hawk Ride at GamesCom.
Silent Hill Haunted House
Halloween is fast approaching and with it, another scare maze by the gents that brought you the official Saw Haunted Attraction. Once again in Orange County, CA, this time the stakes have been raised because they've gone to Konami for their uber scary Silent Hill franchise. Imagine yourself in a haunted house with those damn bloody zombie nurses, crying babies, and pyramid head. F*ckin' terrifying. Let's just hope the maze isn't as confusing to navigate as the actual Silent Hill games. Otherwise, workers will be finding fresh decomposed remains far after Halloween has passed.
