[...] already reviewed Mass Effect and Skate, and talked about Mutant Storm Empire, Geometry Wars and Pac-Man C.E., so I won’t cover that [...]

Played the demo the other day, that game is fun Didn’t have the patience for playing with the video editor so much, but I’m sure I would if I pulled off anything cool

Yup, that’s pretty much what I thought of Skate too

Hard but fun, intense satisfaction doing anything cool. I didn’t play it to try to complete the game’s objectives though, I just played it for fun.

@Dan: I was about to say I wasn’t sure how accurate it would be, but then Mercury Meltdown proved it could be quite accurate for subtle movements. I guess I don’t know how well slight and jerky movements would combine (slight for things like manuals, quick for flips etc). Probably with a good implementation it could work well – I’ve never played SSX but that’s probably a good comparison as Ian pointed out.

@Dan – probably very much like SSX on the wii … which is great fun by the way.

Hypothetically speaking, how do you think Skate would be on the wii with the wiimote and nunchuk controllers?

I didn’t bother uploading it last night, but just for you: http://skate.share.ea.com/profiles/43864/posts/803664.aspx

It’s pretty tame compared to what some other people are posting, but as a beginner it was a big deal to me. Check out the nose manual action…
