Kickflippin’ ‘eck… Sigh… We really don’t like reporting on this kind of stuff, but alas, it’s our duty to you, our dear readers, to know what you’re getting yourself into. Judging from images of the box art online, it looks like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will require a mandatory download on the…
