Wrecked: Revenge Revisited premiere trailer

By  •  Media, Videos, News

The first trailer for Wrecked: Revenge Revisited (formerly known as Gas: Fuel for Fun) hit the web this morning.

What players remember and love are the more classic titles — the titles that didn’t have a tacked on story. The best Tony Hawk games were simple. It was about the skating and nothing else. That’s where Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Arcade would come in.
