Matt at IGN: Tony Hawk Downhill Jam coming for Rev
Matt Cassamissa, resident Revolution guru over at IGN, recently posted to his blog that a new Tony Hawk game, titled Tony Hawk Downhill Jam, will be launching with the Revolution. He has received no word as to how the game will play with the Revolution's remote or the basic premise of the title (I assume it'll have something to do with downhill skating much in the way the original Tony Hawk games featured long, luge-like levels that were the complete opposite of the game's other open-ended maps).
Launching with a Tony Hawk title is a smart move for Nintendo, even smarter should this title be custom-designed for the Revolution to capitalize on the unique remote's capabilities. While it has not been confirmed by Activision, other rumors would make it seem like the company is planning to release quite a few games on the console.
