A 14-year old skateboarding prodigy has been touring the world with Tony Hawk. Young Brusco is the perfect example of doing what you love and loving what you do. His mother says he started off on a $10 skateboard she bought for him at the age of 3. Her young son was hooked from his first days on the board. He MUST be worth sticking a free bet on becoming World Champion one day!

It’s no secret that there hasn’t been a successful Tony Hawk game in quite some time – but old school Tony Hawk fans still have hope – is Kinect the answer?

Personally, I don’t think so. The Tony Hawk games that I loved and the Tony hawk games that sold well were the Pro Skater and Underground games – the ones that stuck to the tried and true Tony Hawk formula.

If it ain’t broke – don’t fix it, so why is Tony so set on continuing to push motion gaming in his series when Tony Hawk Ride and Shred were both complete flops?

Activision's new Tony Hawk game, "Tony Hawk Shred," is available on Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3. It uses the same skateboard peripheral as "Tony Hawk Ride," and promises to go bigger.
