I don’t know how, and I’m not questioning it, but my Xbox rose from the dead last week just in time for two big games I had been anticipating. Halo 3 being one and Skate being the other.
It was a tough decision but after playing the demo I went with Skate and I don’t regret it for a second. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed the Halo 3 beta when I played (I got my luckiest frag ever during the stress test) but I’ve been playing FPS games for the last 10 years or so. Halo, while a blast to play, doesn’t bring much to the genre. Skate on the other-hand is not only a blast to play, but it brings a lot to its genre.
I will get Halo 3, but for now… its all about skate.
Reached 50% complete last night after completing a few challenges and I’ve logged in over 20 hours already according to the stats page… though I’m unsure if that’s an indication of the amount of content to get through, or a testament to the games free-skate mode in which you can lose yourself for hours.
I don’t have much ready to write for this as I’ve been too busy playing so until then, I’ll make do with posting up this video showcasing a few of the spots I was skating last night.
