Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD Available Today!

The HD re-vamp of the game that helped inspire a generation of kids to pick up a skateboard is now available for download on XBox Live.

Boasting polished graphics and improved visuals, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD returns us to classic levels from the first two games, like the Hanger, Venice Beach, Downhill Jam, and more. Classic characters like the Birdman himself return, and we see a few new faces like Chris Cole and Nyjah Huston, even Tony's own son, Riley.

In addition to familiar faces and levels, you'll also be able to skate to some of your favorite tunes from past Pro Skater games.

It's a welcome addition to any gamer's online library, but some fans might be a little upset to learn that the revert move isn't included. Added in the third game, the revert helped chain together trick lines between transition and street. Will it be added later? Possibly. 

Tony has said he hopes to add more features, levels, and characters down the road. In an April interview with IGN, Hawk said, "I want to release all new levels and not just live in the past like this...new skaters, new tricks, things like that, and release them as digital content so they're affordable."

Available now on XBLA, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD will also be available for PS3 later this summer.
