Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 Announced
Hinted to be coming for quite some time Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 was made official today. The Tony Hawk series was extremely popular and well-regarded over a stretch of time with the 'Pro Skater' and 'Underground' titles but since 2004 it has been completely mishandled.
