Yesterday, Activision announced that they'll be including a special Guitar Hero III demo on the disc of the October 9th release of Tony Hawk's Proving Ground. Proving Ground purchasers will be treated a GH III demo featuring five musical tracks which include "Lay Down" by Priestess, "Even Flow" by Pearl Jam, "The Metal" by Tenacious D, "Hit Me with your Best Shot" by Pat Benatar and "Rock You Like a Hurricane" by the Scorpions. But fret not rockers who dislike skating games, because the GH III demo will be available for download off the XBLM two weeks after Proving Ground hits retailers, sometime around October 23rd. Now we have a reason to get our X-plorer guitar tuned before October rolls around.

GH III demo to be included in Proving Ground

Video: Proving Ground is all about choices
"Life is about choices. They define who you are. Each path, every turn. It's your decision. That's what it's all about." Believe it? Well, that's what the main theme in the debut trailer for Tony Hawk's Proving Ground is all about, choices. You'll be able to create a skater that reflects the kind of person you want to be, whether you're going for the rockstar mystique or just doing it for the pain. It's an interesting concept, but the gameplay footage doesn't look all that graphically impressive. Give the trailer a watch and consciously compare what Mr. Hawk has to offer with EA's Skate. What are your thoughts?
Time to prove yourself, new Tony Hawk details
Being the magazine salesman they are, GamePro announced what's in their latest issue and spilled some new details on the next Tony Hawk installment. Among the new information revealed is the official title Tony Hawk Proving Ground and that the game will include a Nail-the-Trick mode, inclusion of skater classes, revamped multiplayer, and a new built-in video editor. The inclusion of a video editor is fantastic (reminds us of another game) and a beefier multiplayer is always welcome. Update: Activision is responsible for Tony Hawk, not EA. The blogger responsible has been shot out of Fanboy Towers' recently installed Man Cannon ... into a cactus field.
