First off, I understand it can be frustrating when nobody replies to messages, but could you please try to refrain from putting remarks like that as this is a friendly community we've got here

As for your actual post, I agree with what you're saying. The Tony Hawk games have been the skateboarding game since the first incarnation on the original playstation. Like yourself, I have played every single one. Well I haven't actually got around to buying Project 8 YET, but I'll get it eventually.
Anyway, they have gone down hill since probably Pro Skater 3 or 4, but American Wasteland, I thought, did improve upon the disappointing THUG 2.
I also agree that Activision need some competition to really make them get their fingers out and really pump up the Tony Hawk franchise and get it back to the level that made the original four games great to play.
Unfortunately, from what I've seen and heard, EA's game isn't going to do that as it's nowhere near good enough to really challenge Activisions hold on the Skateboarding genre.
However, give them a year or two and I think EA could become contenders, just look at how good FIFA 07 is compared to Konami's new Pro Evolution game; FIFA is well and truly back on track.

Anyone else think Activision need to buck their ideas up when it comes to the Tony Hawk games? Leave your thoughts in a reply to this thread.
