With the release of Electronic Arts' Skate (Xbox 360, PS3) right around the corner, we could smell sweaty anticipation from miles away. EA's attempt to reach a market dominated by Tony Hawk's Pro Skater may very well be a successful one, as most of us know what the gig is all about. Here are some videos showing off what this down-to-earth video game has to offer.

By down-to-earth, we don't mean Skate will be lacking the bells and whistles of a complete skating game. What it brings to the table is more realistic skateboarding, almost strict physics, and no death-defying jumps off half-pipes. Doesn't sound too rad, you say? The first couple of videos will show you what tricks you can bust and how good they look.

The third one is a short but sweet advertisement about encouraging your thumb to nail tricks while playing Skate. That's right - your thumb. Through flickit controls, a dexterous thumb and sticks can do wonders. Find out more by checking the videos out.

It's an advertisement

It's not like he's really that bad it's just to show how the controls require more skill than Tony Hawk's just press a button to do a trick junk. Lay off Rob you guys.
