Hey Tony Hawk, why are you so angry? You've had eight different games named after you, you've turned skateboarding into a career, and you're liked by just about everybody regardless of their ages. Why are you so angry, and what did that ground do to you to? Don't throw your skateboard, that's not going to help anything. It's not like he just crashed, he's wearing new pants and a fresh promotional tee-shirt. And the shoes, they don't look scuffed at all. I think Tony Hawk is just mad, mad that he has to get paid millions of dollars to promote a game that I had to review twice! Oh wait, why would he be mad about that?

I really don't like this commercial, and not just because it features the nicest guy in extreme sports pretending to be pissed at something. This advert really has very little to say, it doesn't talk about the changes to the game, it just has a mostly white background and a faux-angry Tony Hawk. Oh, and there's that quote from Yahoo! Games saying that it's the "biggest leap forward yet". Obviously they weren't talking about Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.

But back to my original question, why is this Tony Hawk so angry? If anything Tony Hawk's American Wasteland is a cheerier adventure, especially when compared to the recent Underground series. And I know it's not politically correct or anything, but isn't Tony Hawk getting kind of old for this type of thing? And the Hawkman is barely in American Wasteland ... oh wait, maybe that's what he's so pissed about. Don't be, it wasn't very good anyway.
