10 Sports That Deserve Truly Great Video Games

4. Skateboarding

Tony Hawk's Underground 2 was a superb game. Now that it's twelve years old, however, the fact that it was the last great skateboarding game shows us just how severe a gap there is in the market right now. Many have tried and failed to recapture the magic of this series, including Robomodo's attempts to reinvigorate the 'Tony Hawk's' series in 2015.

The Tony Hawk's Underground games were both notable for managing to capture both professional and street level skateboarding stories. Having players rise up through the ranks to compete against some of the best in the business genuinely invested them in the experience; everything that's come since then has been far too throwaway to keep meat on the bones. Bringing this type of skateboarding game back is something a lot of people could easily get behind.

You can argue all day about whether an extreme sport should be categorised with other sports, but as long as the 'S' word is there then that's good enough for us!
