Skate 2 Dated

Xbox 360, PS3

EA's Black Box studio today announced that Skate 2, the sequel to last year's game-changing skateboarding title, will hit Australian retailers on January 22nd, 2009. If you can't wait until then, you can kill time with the Graphics Creator, a web-based customisation tool launching next month on their website.

The Graphics Creator lets you create custom graphics for your in-game hats, decks and shirts. The Throwback Pack features a variety of retro stylings including, tie-dye t-shirts, Skate or Die apparel, Robot and ‘Window Shade’ sunglasses, gestures circa the hippie-age and much more! It's unclear how these will be transferred to your game. 

Skate 2 brings gamers to New San Vanelona, a city that’s been rebuilt after an unspeakable disaster five years ago. Equipped with double the bag of tricks, players are tasked to rebuild their career and revive the skate scene. Now with the ability to get off-board and move objects around, gamers can create their own epic spots and challenges which can then be uploaded, shared and experienced by others around the world.

Skate It, for Wii and Nintendo DS, is available now.

And so the game-changing game settles into a comfy spot. Moving stuff around changes it a little at least.
