For all you Tony Hawk fans out there, your friendly neighborhood IMGers have posted a dual review of both Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4, all in one nice little package. The review looks at all the usual gameplay elements and performance of both of Aspyr's skating games, along with comparing the gameplay between the two games so players can get an idea of which game they'd prefer. Here's a snippet from the article:

Unassisted flight. There are probably few activities on earth that can give a person the feeling of flight, the exhilaration of freeing yourself from gravity’s tether. Hang-gliding, perhaps. Bungie jumping, maybe. Skateboarding, certainly. And now you too can experience what it’s like to soar like an eagle. Or, in this case, a Hawk. Tony Hawk, professional skateboarder.

The Tony Hawk Pro Skater series has established itself as a leading game franchise. First appearing on the Sony Play Station, the original game was touted as revolutionary. It set the stage for a number of extreme sport titles.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 was the first of the series to be ported to the Macintosh. Like most good sequels, it built upon the foundation of the first game and added key features to make it a must-have title. Now, Aspyr Media brings Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 (THPS 3) and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 (THPS 4) to the Macintosh platform. If you’re familiar with Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, then THPS 3 and THPS 4 should be like riding a bike. A graphically beautiful bike with fluid game play and hour upon hour of challenging, fast, fun game play.
