Skateboard HM Mini

The first "HeroMachine Mini" based on the "FaceMaker" code is now up for your entertainment purposes! skateboarder.jpgThe Tony Hawk Tricked Out Skate Deck lets you build your own skateboard HeroMachine-style, with all the features of the new version available.

The great first half of "Hellboy II" makes it worth seeing on the big screen, but the slow and disappointing second half should make you catch a matinee instead of paying full price.

The full review is after the jump.

Apparently one of the world's largest religions was formed not when Siddhartha sat under a tree until he gained enlightenment, but when he popped up out of the ground, nipples a-blazing with gunfire. Good to know.
