08:22 AM - May 9, 2008. Posted by Steve_OS. Written by Steve Noah
According to VideoGamer, it looks like the Tony Hawk crew is taking a year off and only making a DS title this year. Are you disappointed or happy with this decision?

Quote:
"Activision has confirmed that it is taking a break from is annual Tony Hawk release schedule, with the next home console game featuring the skate boarding icon to hit stores in the publisher's fiscal 2010 - the year ending March 31, 2010. Given that Activision has traditionally released new titles in the series in the holiday season, expect the next Tony Hawk game to release late in 2009."

08:21 AM - May 9, 2008. Posted by Steve_OS. Written by Steve Noah
Pasta Padre checks in with some interesting Prizefighter news.

Quote:
"In something that may be even more interesting than the video, a representative of 2K Sports on the company’s official forum (2K Admin Ron) is publically berating the game’s executive producer for his “ridiculous representation of the game“, that it looked like he had never played the game before, and that the game was made a mockery of. All of those quotes and more can be found in the reaction thread in their forums."

Bizarre Creations Finished with PGR4, Hands DLC Duties to Microsoft
08:20 AM - May 9, 2008. Posted by Steve_OS. Written by Steve Noah
Joystiq has the scoop.

Quote:
"According to a recent post on Bizarre Creation's official forums by a dev calling himself "Ben," the studio has washed its hands of the game. "Bizarre Creations won't be adding anything more to PGR4 in the future," he wrote. "We've completed the hand-over to Microsoft, so any further add-ons will come from them and not us I'm afraid." The news probably wouldn't sting so much had the last update not been so incredibly cool, leaving us now waiting to see what else the British studio has up its racing sleeves."
