Genres:Adventure, Sport
Themes:Open world, Action, Comedy
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer, Split screen
Story:You are a new skater in the city of L.A.. The main drive of the game is that your hanging around with a skating group and its leader, who also happens to be a skating legend, at their skate park in Beverly Hills called Skate Ranch. Throughout the game you must help your friends by getting skate pieces for Skate Ranch. The game marks the third reinvention of the series, with Pro Skater being the first, and Underground being the second. It comes with brand new features like the ability to change your personal appearance in game, as well as the ability to get off of the skateboard and use a BMX. For the first time all of levels are strung together into one big environment, which gets rid of loading times and menu selection. Old features were also kept like Create-a-park, which dates back to the Pro Skater series. Missions are still acquired by going up to random people or friends and accepting the mission they want you to run. The game also includes a multiplayer mode and co-op for up to 2 players for added replay value.Show more

This game became unforgettable because it was one of the first skateboarding games I ever played. I was amazed by its beauty—it was incredible, and I found it to be one of the most beautiful games I had ever seen as a child. I was also fascinated by the tricks in the game and the fact that it could be played in two-player mode. I played this game for the first time with my cousins on the PS2. I really liked the map and the skate tricks, but since I was a kid and lived in Brazil, I didn't know English. That meant I couldn't complete the missions, so I couldn't unlock other maps or locations. I want to see this childhood game on GOG because I love the idea of DRM-free games. That way, I could buy it and keep it forever if I wanted to. I will always support this kind of initiative.

One of the best and funniest skateboarding games. Played this on OG Xbox back in the day with the custom soundtrack feature. Been wanting this remastered or re-released for years and there was a PC port so hopefully GOG can get it on there.
I played this game for ages whhen i was a kid and recently learning about a project called rethawed makes me want to play it again but you you need to have american wastelannd and you can't purchase a digital copy of american wasteland anywhere having a place to play these older tony hawk titles would be great

New moves, new enemies, new recruits, new environments, and the return of an old foe await, along with the same over-the-top sense of humor and adrenaline-pumping combat of its predecessor. The game will also feature two-player co-op action both locally and online.

Starcraft: Ghost
Starcraft: GhostStarCraft: Ghost is a cancelled military science fiction stealth-action video game previously under development by Blizzard Entertainment. Part of Blizzard's StarCraft series, the game was announced on September 20, 2002, and was to be developed by Nihilistic Software for the Nintendo GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 video game consoles. Several delays in development caused Blizzard to move back the release date and the game has not yet materialized. Nihilistic Software ceded development to Swingin' Ape Studios in 2004 before Blizzard bought the company, and plans for the GameCube version were cancelled in 2005. Blizzard announced in March 2006 that the game was put on "indefinite hold" while the company investigated seventh generation video game console possibilities. Subsequent public statements from company personnel had been contradictory about whether production was to be renewed or planned story elements worked into other products. The continued delay of Ghost had caused it to be labeled as vaporware, and it was ranked fifth in Wired News‍'​ annual Vaporware Awards in 2005. In 2014, Blizzard president Mike Morhaime confirmed that Ghost was officially cancelled. Unlike its real-time strategy predecessor StarCraft, Ghost is a third-person shooter, and was intended to give players a closer and more personal view of the StarCraft universe. Following Nova, a Terran psychic espionage operative called a "ghost", the game is set four years after the conclusion of StarCraft: Brood War and covers a conspiracy about a secretive military project conducted by Nova's superiors in the imperial Terran Dominion. Very little of the game's storyline has been released; however, in November 2006 after the game's postponement, a novel was published called StarCraft Ghost: Nova, which covers the backstory of the central character.
