Review of The Hatch Restaurant

Going Underground with Tony...

Advantages: A great advancement on an already great game!
Disadvantages: None so far

*What is it?* Tony Hawk's Underground (THU) is a Neversoft created, skate boarding game that allows the player to be a particular skate boarder (such as Rodney Mullen or Jamie Thomas or more notably, Tony Hawk) and complete the various levels set out using skill, technique and advice given on screen. *Why did you buy it?* I have a long summer of nothingness ahead of me - ahh the life of a prospective uni student! - and so this looked like a good choice. I already have Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, so I thought it would be nice to try a later version. *How much was it?* I purchased it 'preowned' from Game - 3 for £20 - it was £9.97 by itself. I know that you can buy it first hand from game, or another kind of games shop for around £30. Personally, I'd stick to the preowned. They're just as good as getting them brand new ...

Review of Tony Hawk's Underground (Xbox)

A String of Pseudo Pearls

Advantages: Excellent backing tracks, competent vocals, a couple of strong pop hits
Disadvantages: Not much in the way of soul, some dull tracks, all rather dated now

mind that in 1972 "The Black & White Minstrel Show" was still one of the top rated TV shows, which tells you something about the era. The Pearls were signed to the Bell label ? which had some hugely popular acts on their roster including the Bay City Rollers, Barry Blue, David Cassidy and Gary Glitter. The UK arm of the label focused mainly on commercial pop and the Pearls fitted into this perfectly. Interestingly the US arm tended to focus more on soul music. A String of Pearls Going back to my dad?s old Sanyo radio cassette recorder there was a song which was oft played by myself back in 1974 called ?Guilty?. Performed by the Pearls I loved it and have vague recollections of a Top of the Pops performance which incorporated judges? wigs. I have hunted high and low for this clip on the internet and sadly can only conclude it was ...
