Tony Hawk Games
For many years the Tony Hawk franchise of videogames was part of me and my everyday life. Sadly, it’s not the case any more. And in light of losing an entire HDD full of 20 years of history, I was refreshed to see what wasn’t lost. One such item was this graphic I made way back in 2007. It was one of the rare times I was featured on the likes of Insert Credit (RIP) and maybe even Kotaku. I figured I’d update these as well as toss some new info over on the Hawk History page which merely serves as a catalogue for the now-defunct and often-painfully-remembered PlanetTonyHawk. In any event, here are the two graphics from a decade ago replete with the wonderfully-titled updated games Ride, Shred, Motion, Vert and THPS HD and THPS5. It’s funny. I forgot about the latter’s existence. Hard to believe I and those I know, who were all faithfully intertwined in the shaping of Hawk history, haven’t ever even touched Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. Perhaps I’m glorifying out involvement, but it just shows how far the series fell. Sad, really. Anyways…visuals…
