Some six videos just went up on IGN, featuring various tricks you can nail in Electronic Arts' Skate (PS3, 360). From popping the Shove It to grinding, EA's entry to the skateboarding genre undoubtedly looks like it'll play different from the reigning king, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

To hit it off the ground, gravity in Skate is more realistic, preventing players from reaching unbelievable heights. Nailing more than a single flip trick from flat land seems to be a challenge, as we can see in several videos. Grinding is more down-to-earth and balance-oriented as far as we can gather.

What the big names in skateboarding have in common is how painful bailing looks. You'll see in one of the videos that when a skater falls down, he falls down bad. Another similarity is in the environment, as Skate doesn't really appear different from Tony Hawk Pro Skater's skate parks.

This game is all about capturing the feel of real skateboarding, so let's quit the chatter. Find the rock solid videos below:
