You know, I’ve got to admit. I had some trepidation going into this game. The last two games in the series were hard. Like, tear out your hair and smash your controllers hard. And in the trailers, it showed that this new version added in a bunch of stuff by moving to 3D. Branching paths, […]
I recently replayed all of Skate 1 – every single challenge except for the optional pro games of SKATE. Sure, I did it with all the controls reversed, which made it a little more painful than it needed to be, but I feel like that gave me a really good look at how it might […]
When this game was announced, I wasn’t sold. They’ve tried and failed to remake these games before. What I was looking for is for these games to be better or equal to the originals in every way. The graphics will be better, but what if the animation is worse? Or the gameplay? There’s no reason […]
I modded a Skater XL deck! It’s just a deck I designed for fun a few months back. Might as well put it to use. Here’s what you do (PC version only): Download this file: Deck_Rad-Rat.zip Unzip the image file into This PC > Documents > SkaterXL > Gear Fire up the game and scroll […]
Skater XL has a really advanced trick system, even if it is somewhat limited. The amount of tricks is lower than most skateboarding games, but every time you do the tricks, they look different. In other words, no, there aren’t late shove its and no complies and street plants or darkslides, but you can do […]
If you want to follow along with this challenge, it’s a little tougher than setting up Pro Skater 4. They got a little fancy with the programming this time, and it won’t load a modded save without messing with the .exe file. So here’s what you do. Install the PC version of the game. If […]
This time on Rad Rat Video, we’re going to get deeper into Muska’s career, starting with Shorty’s, getting into Muskabeatz, and of course his drunken racially-charged arrest. When Muska was a kid, he started a little skate team called Disaster Skateboards, where he was in charge of everything. When he found himself without a sponsor, […]
“Each day my goal was to find some fuckin’ tourist bitch to fuckin’ take advantage of. I could tell a tourist bitch when they roll by, they’d have rich-ass parents out there and have their own little fuckin’ beach house to themselves and that’s a place to stay for the night. Get wasted, wake up […]
Lance Mountain is another guy that I was never too excited about growing up. My first exposure to him was in the Flip videos, where he does… inverts, and airs. It didn’t really blow me away. But Lance is from the olden days, and he was around when this stuff was being invented. So you […]
OK, I did it again. I played another completely terrible, hateful game. This isn’t the worst one I’ve played, but that almost makes it worse Skateboard Madness. That game was made in a month and it’s broken. This one has design, decent graphics and it doesn’t really have glitches or any obviously broken problems. It’s […]
