Mon, 06 Aug 2007 12:54:51 -0700

we always knew it was just a matter of time before we took our rightful place alongside ZZ Top...

Electronic Arts announced today the complete track listing in SKATE which is
set to release fall 2007 on the PS3 computer entertainment system and the
Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. SKATE boasts 45 songs from
some of the most influential and celebrated artists including David Bowie,
Nirvana, N.W.A., The White Stripes, Gang Starr and The Ramones. The game
also features 18 exclusive tracks from mixing mastermind XXXChange,
skateboarding’s very own legend, Tommy Guerrero, as well as other world
renowned DJs.

“The soundtrack for SKATE is a direct reflection of true outlaw skateboard
culture," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing at
EA. “It's a throwback to the days of underground skateboard videos when
skaters created their own soundtracks that raided every genre of music. In
that spirit, we talked to hardcore skaters around the country to help pick
many of the songs for SKATE. Real recognizes real, and this soundtrack is a
straight-up tribute to a culture like no other.”

SKATE is the closest thing to skateboarding without actually putting your
feet on a board. With innovative Flickit controls that take advantage of the
dual analog sticks and the ability to sculpt tricks that define your own
style, SKATE delivers an authentic boarding mecca like no other videogame.
Players will explore, find, and own the best spots in the fictitious city of
San Vanelona while listening to a soundtrack that’ll get them up and moving.
As they cruise through this enormous city, players will capture footage to
show off their own style with friends across the world.
