Skate 2 Demo by January 8th
by 
The original Skate released to high praise with gamers really catching on to the realistic representation as well as the video uploading feature. It surprised the industry by passing the long entrenched Tony Hawk series in both sales and quality forcing them to go into reinvent mode.
Xbox.com is now featuring details of a sweepstakes that requires the download of the demo for Skate 2 between January 8-15. The 8th seems like the best bet for it to arrive given it is a Thursday and the demo could be out at the same time for the 360 and PS3.
So I want to know…do you think Skate is a franchise that I should cover on the site? I’ve never really considered it to be a sports game, especially since EA doesn’t even classify it as one. But given its popularity and potential ties to the community I’ve opened myself up to reconsidering that decision.

I think so, it is an excellent game

I think it's appropriate to cover skateboarding and snowboarding games for that matter. But then again I'm not the one that has to potentially cover crappy games that I don't care about.

I think Pasta not only gives us insight into games that most regurarily play, but he also gives us insight into games we may have not paid much attention to. I think this site gives us a little bit of everything, especially in terms of development prior to release.

IMO I think you should. Skating is covered by ESPN. Also, if you covered Facebreaker, I think anything else is really fair game, lol.

Its a pretty good game but I think you should only cover this game if there is not really anything else special happening-stick to The Show,Madden,Live and 2k, Fifa, and NHL—also the arcade games I think shouldn't get too much coverage also

skate. is an awesome game. if you skate in real life, you can really appreciate the quality of this game. it brings a completely different element to the table than the tony hawk franchise.
