Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

Gaming's best (and only) skateboarding franchise is still the one to beat

Part of THAW's Xbox 360 upgrade is full Xbox Live support, which offers a dozen games plus a free-skate mode that's basically a chat session on wheels. PS2 gamers have enjoyed games of King of the Hill, Capture the Flag, and the self-explanatory Slap! for some time, but that just means they're all honed to perfection now that they're finally on Xbox Live.

The Xbox 360 game isn't bad, but there's nothing to really justify the extra $10 in the price, other than higher resolution and support for the new Xbox Live Achievements system - as you hit milestones in the Story, Classic, and online modes, you'll add points to your Gamerscore. Unfortunately, the only other Xbox 360-specific element is the mushy d-pad on the 360 controller, which makes you fight to pull off precise combos.
