So the first time I played skate, it was about 11:30 at one of my friends' video-game nights where we would play video games for about 15 hours and then pass out because we crashed from all of the coffee, caffeine pills, and energy drinks (i was never one for dew). Well, I had heard about skate beforehand and have always been into skateboarding in real life and in the good ol' thps series. It turns out that one of my friends had borrowed a copy for 360 and as soon as the halo 2 matches were all done I fired up the first open xbox and started playing. The first hour was all about getting my berrings, but i picked it up relatively quick, due to my knowledge of skateboarding. I didn't play any of the story-line, but ended up playing for 6 hours straight. It was so addicting i just couldn't put it down, and after about two hours i knew that i would have to pass out while playing in order to put it down, which ended up being true. I have played it the same way almost every time on the 360.

When i got to play the story-line, i actually had more fun. This time it was on the ps3. The problem was that i got extremely side-tracked and it took me about 10 hours to play through and i still havn't finished it to this day. I have heard that after the story is over the game loses all of its fun, which always discouraged me from beating the game. i personally like it better on the ps3, almost purely because of the duel shock, which has been my buddy ever since i switched from n64 to playstation. The graphics are the only other thing that really distinguish the two games appart.

now that skate 2 has come out for ps3 and 360, and skate it on wii, i am anxious to try these new ones (especially skate it, although i fear the disappointment that could arise)
