I remember I was sitting around over at a friends house when I first saw a Tony Hawk game. I had brought my Playstation over, and another friend brought along the first Tony Hawk game.

We popped it in the Playstation and each grabbed a controller. It didn't take long till I was hooked on this game, and skateboarding games weren't really my thing.

Something was different about this game. It allowed you to do amazing tricks that you normally wouldn't see in real life. The level design was also stunning.

As the series has gone on, Tony Hawk games have had their ups and downs. It pretty much has held true that these games are usually fun to play, even if nothing groundbreaking is done in them.

Today we're taking a look at Tony Hawk's Proving Ground for the Xbox 360. This is the most recent in a long line of games, and it promises to add some new tricks to the mix. Are new tricks going to have what it takes to make this one stand out in a long running series? Read on and find out.
