We all knew there was going to be a new Tony Hawk game announced at E3, but how about a Wii- and DS-exclusive title that bucks everything the series has done before?

You play as Hawk or one of nine other grungy-esque characters, cutting through such geography-rich regions like San Francisco, Hong Kong and Rio de Janeiro, usually vying for a first-placed run. The Wii remote is ...

Wii News | Excite Truck

Wednesday 10 May 2006 The wraps have finally come off the often-rumoured follow-up to classic NES Excitebike; it's called Excite Truck and brings rough and tumble off-road racing to Wii. Controlled by grasping the Wii-mote and holding it like the handlebars of a bike, all you need to do to turn your truck on-screen is to tilt the controller and hit 2 to accelerate. But racing - and more importantly winning - demands that you make the most of any boost you get. So when you take to the air after ...
