Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 will include a classic trick with a new name in honor of the trick’s original creator. Skateboarders and fans of the THPS series are likely well aware of what a mute air or mute grab is, but many might not know the history of this trick’s name. Tony Hawk took to Instagram to announce that, in the upcoming THPS 1+2 remaster, the trick will have a new name. [widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=tony-hawks-pro-skate-1-and-2-new-skaters-screenshots&captions=true”] “For nearly 40 years, we’ve shamelessly referred to this trick as the ‘mute’ air/grab,” Hawk said on his Instagram today. “Here is…

Streamer Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek has returned to Twitch and, as of this writing, is live with over 400,000 viewers. Shroud announced back in October that he would be leaving Twitch to stream exclusively on Mixer, news that came just a few months after Ninja revealed that he would be doing the same. Both of these streamer’s plans, however, changed when Microsoft announced Mixer would be shut down. Today, he made his return to Twitch with a very warm welcome from his community.

Loading up the new playable demo of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, which hits Xbox Live and PSN on Friday, I had one big question on my mind: would this be a return to form, or another quick cash-in remaster? THPS is one of my favorite series in gaming, but it’s also one of the most painful. I have long wanted to recapture the magic of the first three games, but over time have only found myself increasingly let down by various attempts. As the game loads, Rage Against The Machine kicks out their ‘90s james alongside a…

A producer who worked on Project Ragtag has said that the cancelled game would have been “the best Star Wars game ever made” In an interview with Minnmax, ex-Visceral Games producer Zach Mumbach shed some more details about the canned EA project which, in his words, was set to be an “amazingly-well crafted” 12-hour experience. Mumbach talks about how a leadership team was brought in to cut and ship the game, who had a different vision for Ragtag than Amy Hennig’s crew at Visceral. “I’m thinking, this is effing Amy Hennig, we have the chance to make the greatest Star Wars…

The first thing I noticed, as a long-time fan of this series, is that A Total War Saga: Troy is extremely and unabashedly stylish. The world is ringed by surreal, soaring mountains that suggest ancient Greek pottery. The battle resolution animation shows the opposing generals fighting theatrically under a heavenly spotlight. The color palette is perfect for making me feel as though I’ve been transported to the Bronze Age world. And this personality seeps over into a fairly satisfying campaign as well. There are some cracks in this ornate amphora, particularly when it comes to AI, but unlike the previous…
