Was it this silly when Guitar Hero
first launched, with professional musicians trotted out to awkwardly
"play" the game? Watching an aging Tony Hawk, grey hair in-tow, contort
his body on the skateboard peripheral shipping with Tony Hawk Ride is the very definition of wahjah.
Try as Activision
might, we're still not convinced we need yet another peripheral for our
already cramped living rooms. Consider that we've already used our BalanceBoard for snowboarding, Sony's EyeToy is sounding more robust every day and Project Natal
is promising a board-free skateboarding experience. See the common
denominator? No new, large plastic objects in our houses! That's a
win-win to us.
