New graphics, Old Sound: With Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 Activision has reclassified two of the most popular skateboard games of all time last fall. Graphically, the two titles originally published for the PS1 were retired and brought up to date. Although the 17 skate courses have remained essentially the same, they shine in many new details. Not much changed has changed at the excellent soundtrack, which has already contributed much to the atmosphere.

Proven system with new MOVES: The gameplay has remained the same at the core. As before, we try to create as many tricks as possible within two minutes and fulfill tasks to crack high scores. Alternatively, we can explore the levels in free-skate mode without time pressure. The old trick combo system still works well, but moves from later parts of the series were built. There are also a few new faces in addition to the skaters of that time.

Resident Evil 2

• The right game for: all who want to have classic survival horror.
• Not so good for: all who want a perfectly true to original remake.
• Pro Skater rating: 90 points

The remake of Resident Evil 2 is available in the current PSN SALE 60 percent cheaper and thus for 15.99 euros instead of 39.99 euros.

Strongly modernized: The remake of Resident Evil 2 is a mainly technically modernized new edition of the 198 horror classic of 1998. Not only the graphic was brought to the state of the present, also control and camera guide were adapted to today's habits. Fixed perspectives are hardly anyway, instead we control the two main characters now as in a third person shooter. In addition, the loading times between the rooms are away, whereby enemies can now pursue us through doors.

Well-known fame: Although Resident Evil 2 has become much more accessible through the changes, the fame remains close to the original. We still receive classic survival horror, which makes itself noticeable on the tight ammunition and the closely limited inventory court. Also the leveldesign, which sets the thorough exploration of angled buildings, is typical of the classics of the genre.

Conclusion: It is not easy to modernize a classic on the one hand thoroughly and on the other hand to stay loyal enough to the model to get its fame. Capcom is this balance with Resident Evil 2 but very well. Only a few hardcore fans of the original are likely to recur the innovations, otherwise the horror game for newcomers is as suitable as for those with nostalgic memories.
