These are the games (or types of game) that are a near constant part of Brock Poulsen's (from GoozerNation) gaming collection. He keeps them around because each offers something unique to scratch any specific gaming itch.

"For those of us who are now stepping into exam time, you’ll discover that your gaming habits will have to change or else the marks that once made your folks proud will suffer an astounding blow and put you in your parents bad books."
GameZone's Dakota Grabowski sat down with EA Black Box and Skate 3 Online Producer Brian Lindley and spoke to him about the recent release of the popular franchise. EA Black Box was confirmed to be working on several new titles.
"Two hot racing demos are now available with today's update of the PSN Store. Split/Second for the PS3 takes you for a spin around a track that's rigged to explode to take out your competitors while ModNation Racers for the PSP is a highly customizable kart racer."
This weeks edition of Now Shipping will bring a return and sequel extravaganza. Skate 3, Lost Planet 2 and much more. Check out what the second week of May has to offer.
Dakota Grabowski went to Vancouver, British Columbia Canada to visit EA Black Box and walked away with an interview with Brian Lindley, online producer.
It's been kind of weird to see a lack of releases on the Wii and DS the last couple of weeks. Really not much there. Of course, it has also been odd to see the number of new releases on the PS3 and 360 during a time of year that typically doesn't get much in the way of games period. Spring is the new Christmas!
"In a commercial for a skateboarding game, you might think that the folks featured wouldn't draw aesthetic inspiration from warring factions in a Tolkien story, but that's exactly what Skate 3's first TV advert brought to our minds this morning. Sure, there's a bit of gameplay video thrown in, but most of it centers on the much talked about online friend system by way of uniting skateboarders, apparently under an umbrella of brutality."
GameStop continues its sponsorship of the #20 Toyota Camry driven by Joey Logano in the Nationwide Series that races on Saturdays. This week's custome paint job features EA's Skate 3.

WipEout HD is going to be one of the first games that supports 3D when the PS3 firmware update is released in June.

"The third in the successful Skate series of games from Electronics Arts now has a demo and it is currently available on Xbox Live. The PS3 demo is coming later today as part of the PSN Store update."
"In addition to the modes and challenges, players can learn the ropes or perfect their skills in the all-new Skate.School featuring Coach Frank. Gamers can also sample the all-new object dropper by using 24 different items to tweak and alter the University District to create a personalized demo experience. Once players have that perfect trick nailed, they can capture the moment with the in-game Replay Editor and upload footage of themselves with the Skate series’ immensely popular Skate.Reel."
"Electronic Arts has announced the official release date for the forthcoming Skate 3. The highly-anticipated third release in the critically acclaimed series is currently in development for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and promises an all-new co-op mode where teammates can complete challenges together while advancing each other’s careers."
""Most will agree that Tony Hawk: Ride didn’t live up to nearly anyone’s expectations, making Black Box’s job much easier when developing the third iteration of the Skate franchise. They didn’t let this get to their head, though, and it’s evident early on that the developer has learned from the mistakes in Skate 2, leading to a sequel that goes above and beyond the last game.""
Following the teaser released many moons ago, EA have put together a proper gameplay video for the upcoming Skate 3, which you can focus your eyeballs on below.
The video focuses on the social aspects of the game, and comes complete with some crappy music. But hey, the gameplay looks fun as hell.
"NavPower developer BabelFlux LLC has announced that Electronic Arts Inc. has licensed its AI pathfinding package for the upcoming SKATE 3 title and other games in development at EA."
