Hawk: Play Ride and I'll be your friend

The Birdman almost begs you to play
In what almost comes over as a desperate attempt to get people playing Tony Hawk's Ride, the world-famous skater has used Twitter to say he'll accept friend requests if you play his new game.

Hawk was on Xbox Live playing Ride, leaving his Gamertag ( tonyinegypt ) for those interesting in joining him. He later said anyone who plays his game would be added to his friend's list, reports Kotaku.

Here's Official PlayStation Magazine getting to grips with the game.

Did you jump on board Ride or has Tony Hawk's series hit a dead end?

Tony just realised that his game is absolutely useless, and is now begging people to play it. Good luck on that, the game is rubbish.

Well to be honest watching my bro play it and me having a quick go I actually quite enjoyed it. Ok so it might not mimic the real thing exactly but it is fresh and a first attempt at something new. It will be interesting to see where the series goes but I am all open for new and open ideas.

So they are hoping to sell an extra 100 copies of this game?

Seeing as you can only have 100 friends on any one Live account.
