The Greatest Games You've Never Played: Grind Session

PacoDG | November 08, 2008 | Blog | Playstation 
Right when Tony Hawk was reaching the peak of his popularity with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, gamers saw the first of what would become quite a few competitors to the THPS brand. While it was ignored at its outset, Grind Session still remains one of the best non-Hawk skateboarding games ever produced.
Before the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, most skateboarding video games had you either performing the most basic of tricks in a 2D half-pipe (Skate or Die), or had you doing truly non-skateboarding things like racing across country (2 Xtreme). The original THPS changed all that, adding a much-needed focus on tricks and in the process single-handedly sculpted the skateboarding genre that we all know today.

But what if the Tony Hawk games weren't the best skateboarding games on the PlayStation? Sure, it may have been completely drowned out by the much more hyped Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, but Grind Session from Shaba Games is, quite frankly, the best skateboarding game on the PlayStation.
