Look, nobody’s perfect. And in the world we live in, people always to focus on these imperfections, as they tend to make or break a person’s career, or product. And the gaming industry is no different. Video games get leaked almost daily. Whether it’s gameplay footage, information, or even the game itself, leaks in the videogame industry are always important- even when it’s something as small as a title.

Brian Tyree, a creative director for Ayzenberg (the PR company that works with Activision), posted his resume online, with a lengthy list of games that he’s worked on. The list is pretty textbook- games like Banjo & Kazooie, Pure, Singularity, and Afro Samurai made the cut, but there’s also a game called Tony Hawk Ride on the list that we’ve never heard of.

Activision recently teased a ‘reinvention’ of the Tony Hawk franchise, which is most likely the new skateboard perihperal we’ve heard so much about, and it seems as though Tony Hawk Ride will be the name attached to it. I hope not, though- it sounds like a boring name. Maybe if it weren’t prefixed with “Tony Hawk”, it would sound better. I’m not alone in this, I hope- what do you guys think about the name?

As much as I'd like them too, they're not dropping the Tony Hawk label anytime soon. To be honest, I think it hurts them more than they think it helps. It's whatever though, let them do what they want. It's their game, not ours. So it looks like I'll be sticking with Skate for a while. Unless, of course, this new game is a re-done version of THUG with better graphics and whatnot. I don't see how that would be "reinvented" though. Maybe, I don't know.
