Story:

Manhattan (5/12/2010) - "Skate 3" is a new skating game that is trying to be different from everyone else by letting players cooperate.

Players have the ability to play with others either on the same console or online to take on challenges together or in head-to-head skating competitions. Up to six skaters can play at once.

Gamers can also form teams working to work their way up the skating world by selling boards, creating skateparks and facing completing challenges. They also have a skate school that teaches you some skating moves.

"Skate 3" is rated "T" for Teen and just hit shelves this week for the Xbox 360 and PS3 for $60.

Meanwhile, players can get a starring role in the new DSi fighting title "Photo Dojo."

The martial arts download puts you in the game by first having you assume a bunch of different poses, then snap pictures of yourself in those poses. Then you record a bunch of sound effects and you are the lead character trying to defeat as many of the bad guys as possible.

"Photo Dojo" is a Nintendo DSi exclusive which is absolutely free before June 11. Afterwards, it will cost about $2.
