Skate Gleams The Cube With Madd Phresh Trax
Hey funky sk8rs, wanna get your wild on with a gnarly new game whose awesome Flickit controls give you the power to sculpt tricks and define your own radical skating style? Or, like me, do you have no idea what all that jive talk means? With EA's Skate, it might not matter: this "direct reflection of true outlaw skateboard culture" features a soundtrack that kicks enough ass to consider snapping up this PS3 and Xbox 360 title even if you can't tell Tony Hawk from Tony Danza.
Hey, isn't that the same EA that recently launched a new online service, EA Trax, to sell game soundtracks to the gaming public through iTunes? Why, I wonder if the awesome new soundtrack to this awesome new game will be available for purchase and download over there? That would sure be super tricky!
My notion of "true outlaw" just about always includes Steve Jobs. He's the phreshest.
Actually, Skate features songs chosen by and for skaters, says Stgeve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing at EA:
“It's a throwback to the days of underground skateboard videos when skaters created their own soundtracks that raided every genre of music. In that spirit, we talked to hardcore skaters around the country to help pick many of the songs for SKATE. Real recognizes real, and this soundtrack is a straight-up tribute to a culture like no other.”
Make the jump to check out the madd dope set list from dudes like The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Rick James, N.W.A., Black Flag and ZZ Top.
