Authors: There's no doubting that rhythm gaming has had a massive impact on the industry, with peripheral-centric titles like Guitar Hero and Rock Band all but revolutionising the way we stave off boredom. Activision should know a thing or two about the subject and is rumoured to be bringing a skateboard controller to the upcoming Tony Hawk game, due to arrive in the autumn. Despite previously denying this addition, Variety says that sources who have seen the game in the flesh confirm that it will rely on such a device, which will probably work something like the Wii Fit board though obviously being more manoeuvrable. Sounds like a good idea to us - especially if it's compatible with a few different titles, though it's more likely that we'll be relying on Activision to release a range of spin-offs and since it's also likely to appear on the Wii, some sort of snowboarding/surfing/skateboarding extreme sports game could be in the offing. We'll assess this particular rumour as 'quite likely' then, but will be back with further details as and when they are confirmed. - Paul Lester [Spong] gaming skateboarding peripherals
