With the ninth Tony Hawk title in the series being released this fall, the question must be asked, “When will it end?” Enjoying some of the greatest success seen in recent video game series, Activision has taken a queue from the biggest offender in the ‘releasing too many games in too short of time club’ [...]

Back in November of 2006, I and a few friends camped out at our local EB games in the anticipation of obtaining a preorder for the Nintendo Wii.
