Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2

Feeling younger in my mind.

When you think of the heyday of Tony Hawk titles, you probably think back to the games prior to weird skateboard controllers and the abysmal Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. You think back to a time in your childhood when you would turn on your old CRT television, power on the PlayStation, and digitally pull off some sick tricks while Goldfinger's Superman blasted in the background.

    Rocket League is Now Free to Play

    As the headline says.

    If you have yet to pick up and try Rocket League, now would be the best time to do so. The game is now officially free to play across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. This also means that Rocket League is no longer able to be added through Steam and is only available on PC through the Epic Games Store.

    Bummer, right? I believe that those that paid for the game previously now have some bonus legacy content available to them? I'm not 100% sure of this...
