Love it or loathe it, the music from the first three Tony Hawk titles defined a generation.

News Dungeon Twister Swivels onto PS3
Twist and shout
We have to admit we’re a little bit disappointed with this launch trailer for Dungeon Twister. Upon learning that the title was based on a “popular board game”, we wrongly assumed that it would be about contortionists adopting unusual body positions in a fantasy setting.
