We’ve all seen the monumental EA trailer for the upcoming skateboarding video game SKATE 2 starring practically every single skater known to man, except for Tony Hawk.  I think he was busy that day dancing around in his briefs.  But basically, it looks like EA, in an attempt to keep video gamers (prepubescent and pubescent) enticed by a concept that may has lost steam over the past few years, came out with a sequel to SKATE.  This time with an extended storyline.

I’m not really into video games but that’s not to say that I’ve never been into them.  The only video games that have ever caught my attention have had storylines.  The first game I could ever remember being addicted to was a crappy game on computer game called LEISURE SUIT LARRY.  The only reason why I loved this game was because it was like a B-movie in the context of a video game. 

EA just released the second trailer for SKATE 2 over on TackyWorld giving you an idea of what you can look forward to.  This version of Skate looks great but I wished they added my favorite skate character, Officer Rivieri. 

But when it comes to commercials bringing on the heat with celebrity after celebrity after celebrity in relatively small cameo roles, this new Playstation 3 advertisement for SKATE 2 takes the cake.  Sure the general public most likely won’t be able to identify more than half the skaters featured for the new video game, but for those who do know, there are some heavy dudes in this spot.  I don’t even care for video games and I still want to get myself a copy of SKATE 2. 

Anyway, the commercial plays more like a movie or at least an HBO series that takes place in a prison.  And correct me if I’m wrong, but is that DJ Q-Bert at 2:12 carrying a mentally disabled Jason Dill?
