The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Unseal the hushed casket of my soul...

Skate Rocks!

If you're a fan of skateboarding or Tony Hawk, you owe it to yourself to try the Skate demo on Xbox Live marketplace right now. I was surprised how natural the controls felt, and the physics were spot on.

EA also had the balls to implement an amazing web feature. I went into the game, skated a little run, went into the reply editor, changed a few camera angles, video filters, speeds, etc., and was able to upload the final product to their website! You can view the video at the following link.

Yes, that is me playing :)

The video tool is intuitive and easy to use, and getting my vid online was as easy as linking my EA.com profile to my gamertag, then selecting "Upload Vid" from the Skate demo.

AND the game is a blast to play, too!

Gah. I went through, practiced a line for about fifteen minutes, perfected it, then made a whole 'nother movie... before I realized uploading it would erase the one I have now. Oh well, I think that's just for the demo.

You just started playing the demo. I posted something saying the demo was out like a month ago.The demo is awesome and its alot more realistic than tony hawk. Mints try to do a back flip.

You sure did, but I wanted to focus on the "Upload a Video" feature with this post, and it's pretty freakin' sweet.

I don't know about Mints, but I've done quite a few backflips already. It feels really good to pull one off.
