Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3

Yeah.

Or his dad was really into playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3.

No, I like to think it's bird related.

You know? His middle name is like Falcon.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But you fast forward and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 was the first one I actually owned.

And for me, that felt like a growing up game for me because not only was I into it because of the gameplay, but Tim, you talked about all of it.

It's the music of it.

I'd love to, but it wasn't time for music games to play a big role yet.

Ignoring Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is kind of crazy in some ways because that's like a 97 on Metacritic.

You know, it's like one of the greatest games of all time, I think.

Ignoring Gran Turismo 3 is a tough one because that's one of the highest rated video games of all time.

If you're a PS2 fan.

Yeah, man.

I think, personally speaking, my brain kind of goes Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.

I don't know.

Pretty good.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3.

Okay.

Simpsons Hit and Run and Skies of Arcadia Legends.

The creators of the storied franchise have once again outdone themselves.

To say that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is a bigger and better version of its predecessor is akin to saying that Einstein was just a bit smarter than his friends.

Or the Roadrunner was just a touch faster than the Coyote.

No,

Yeah, yeah.

But you fast-forward and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 was the first one I actually owned, and for me, that felt like a growing up game for me because not only was I into it because of the gameplay, but Tim, you, you talked about all of it.

It's the music of it.

It's the culture of it.

Xbox? That is something...

That's something else I want to say because, yeah, it's dramatic, right? That's almost like Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1, almost in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, like their engine.

I mean, it wasn't quite there.

It's more like a 1.5.

It's going to be Max Payne 2.

It's going to be Tony Hawk 3.

I got a little dyslexic with my numbers.

And then it's going to be, this is my cop out.
