How are these ds games?

I need a review on these games
1. Skate it
2. skate 2
3.shaun white snowboarding

The skateboarding genre might have started with many contenders, but when the dust settled you pretty much had one choice: Tony Hawk or nothing. And it’s been that way for more than half a decade. Last year, however, Electronic Arts decided we’ve had enough of the same ol’ Tony Hawk Neversoft design and developed an ingenious skateboarding “simulation” called Skate for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The way the designers made you work for basic skateboarding maneuvers gave a sense of satisfaction when you successfully complete it. Skate was good. And you know what happens with successful games, right? They get sequels, and more importantly, they get ported to the handheld. Skate It isn’t exactly a port of the original game, but it is a conversion of the unique experience in a stylus driven design. The DS game is incredibly ambitious and is also a lot of fun. It’s just a little too rough around the edges to give it high praise.

The Nintendo DS game lifts the same title as the Wii game released day and date, but the portable version doesn’t really share a whole lot beyond the core concept of skateboarding and offering a unique way of controlling your skateboarder. In fact the DS game feels a little more along the lines of the original skate does, as there are many similarities to the locations and challenges from the console original in the portable rendition.

Skate It’s development duties fell upon Electronic Arts’ dependable DS team over in the UK: Exient. With the company already working on top handheld projects like Madden, FIFA, Need for Speed, and Tiger Woods, it’s not surprising to see that the studio was put to the task of bringing the ambitious skateboarding design to the dual-screen handheld. And for the most part, the team got it down. Not only is the 3D tech solid with open environments, detailed visuals, and realistic skateboarder animations, but the game feels right in controls, too.

Touch screen control is a little overwhelming at first, but you’ll get the hang of it.

Performing skateboarding maneuvers is handled entirely on the touchscreen with handwriting and flicking gestures taking the place of the analog trick stick of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game. The lower screen has an image of a skateboard which is used as a sort of guide to let you know an Ollie from a Nollie — by default it’s displayed at an angle, but you can orient the controls to be straight up and down if that fits your fancy. Flicking from the bottom up performs an Ollie (a nose-up jump), top to bottom a Nollie (a tail-up jump). Skewing the angle causes a kickflip, and adding a bit more curve or angle points will add more flair to the move. The game has dozens of moves to master, and luckily the in-game trick list does a great job showing the exact drawing points to do with the stylus in order to pull them off. Combining those moves with a left/right on the D-pad will add the 180/360s, and a shoulder button will include a grab to the performed move.

If it sounds a little intimidating, don’t worry: it is. This game isn’t easy: just like the console game the DS version is actually enormously challenging but it’s also amazingly satisfying due to its complexity. Skateboarding isn’t an easy sport to pick up and play, and Skate It does a great job representing the sport in a game that has a learning curve to match. But once you get it, there’s almost no going back to the alternative; Tony Hawk, you had your day in the sun, but we’ve had our fill of auto-combos and grinds that can go on forever. The Nintendo DS game is a little more forgiving than the console versions, but that may be due to technological restrictions than actual, intentional design choice. Grind rails are a little more magnetic than in other Skate games — it’s not quite as automatic as Tony Hawk because you still have to have an accurate jump move towards the rail you want to boardslide.

This is not my review for Skate it. But this is the best I can get you xD

Shaun White Snowboarding – Road Trip Review: Great balance board use, but limited variety

I’m suffering from lack of pow pow. Will you help me?

Just two more months!! How can I make these two long months go by quicker? I’ve been rollerblading, bike riding, skateboarding, but I just can’t seem to stay away from snowboarding. Everytime I’m online I’m looking at trail maps, at night I’m looking at my pictures of gunstock. When I’m playing xbox, I’m playing snowboarding games! How can I get away from snowboarding for these two months!?

Don’t get away from snowboarding!
Putting things in your mind and visualizing yourself doing it is half of your practice to getting better!! Do this –

Go to your local skate park!
- Skateboarding will help you keep your body conditioned for snowboarding and will give you a boost of confidence. You know this!

Watch snowboard movies!
- Watching snowboard movies will help you visualize yourself riding when you’re not actually riding – you will find that the more you focus on it the better you’ll get without practice.

Get a Carveboard!
- Carveboards were invented by a professional surfer (Brad Gerlach. and his father) to help you stay in shape for snow and surf during the summer days when the snow and swell is gone. It may look funny, but it’s fun, and a huge workout. Believe me!

Go hiking!
- If you live near a resort that gets a lot of snow go trekking around the hills to spot out some fun back country hits. You can find fun cliff drops, log jibs, tree sections.. keep you eyes peeled and mark your spots on a map. When it snows you can be the experienced guide for all of your friends.

Check up on all the new innovations from snow companies!
- When your buddy shows up at the mountain with all of this new gear you don’t want to be the gaper who has no idea what it is, or how it works. Read about all of the new features on boards, bindings, boots.. etc, you can never know too much. Knowledge is power! And helps you pull the ladies too..

Paint your board!
- If you’re good at painting and have some free time go buy some acrylic paint and paint brushes. No one likes rocking the same board two seasons in a row, not to mention.. no one will have a stick like yours when you’re done with your masterpiece! Simply sand you board down in the spots you want to paint, paint your design and use a sealer when it’s dry. Low on artsy inspiration? Grab some snowboard mags and copy some designs. Collaborate!

Read snowboarding magazines!
- Like I said, knowledge is power! Every snow mag has trick tips, where to ride, what the best deals are, what the hottest gear is. Read about it! You will find some interesting stuff in magazines like Transworld Snowboarding, Snowboarder’s Journal, Snowboarding Mag, Snowboard Mag.. etc.

Make as much money as you can!
- To get the most out of your snow season make a ton of money during the summer so you can afford to take the trips you want, or call in to work sick for a few pow days and still have enough to feed yourself. I do it every season, I don’t work.. I ride every day.

Hope that helps!
Happy shredding!!

How put school in front on evrything else.?

I am 16 and am in high school. I really want to do good but I am a person who get distracted very easily. I love to chill with my friends and play video games. But I am finding them always coming first before school. I have tons of free time to do stuff but never ever want to do homework!!!! I hate it so much and never ever finish. I am snowboarding, playing rep hockey, and hanging out with friends in the winter. In the summer I am playing rep football and rep lacrosse or playing video game ( huge video game freak). How can I get in the habit of putting homework before everything else. I guess i am looking for someone to tell me how to get in to a study habit.

Set aside the time when you get out of school to do your homework. Don’t do anything else until the work is completed. You will also find my how to study guide helpful./

1. Have all of your materials ready and in the place that you are going to study.

3. Study when its quiet. No music, no TV, No headphones, no nothing.

4. Do your most difficult subject fist or else you may never get to it.

5. Keep a calendar so that you know when a project is due or a test is going to be given.

6. Vocabulary is very important. Words have different meanings. You need to know the meaning for the subject that you are taking.

7. Study the relationship of things. How is the topic that you studied related to the unit that you are studying?

8. Your textbook has hints for you. Many books have important words or phrases in darkened or colored type, make sure that you know them thoroughly.

The sites below are excellent and will give you many other ideas about studying.
