Pacy, fast-moving and graphically lavish: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 reviewed
Grade: B+ Tony Hawk is an old guy these days. The most famous sk8r boi ever to have lived is now 57. A sk8r geezer, if you will; and the video games celebrating his glory days are of an age too. Gamer-geezers who remember losing hours to the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games will welcome this pacy, fast-moving, graphically lavish remake. The Sex Pistols and Run-DMC and suchlike blare in your ears as you guide your skater around any number of wildernesses of kneecap-imperilling concrete. (Gen-Z players will probably be mystified by the floating VHS tapes that you need to pick up as you skate.) You can do ollies and kickflips and medusas and acid drops, grinds and spine transfers and skitches, and manuals and reverts and wallplants. You can catch sick air, as I believe they used to say back in the day. Or, at least, you can in theory. Almost the only trick not explicitly covered in the extensive training is 'faceplant' because, as it turns out, nearly any combination of buttons achieves that. The difficulty curve is brutal. Splat, you go. Splat. Splat. Ouch. If this were a medically accurate simulation you'd spend most of the game in traction. That one of the many skaters available as a guest star is the meat-headed space-marine from Doom pays tribute to the implied violence. But when you do stumble over the right button combination and land a high-scoring trick off the halfpipe, leap a moving car or grind a long railing just right, you'll exclaim: 'Gnarly!' Which, is, I imagine, the condition of the real Tony Hawk's toenails these days.

Public Image Ltd, Kelvingrove Bandstand, Glasgow ★★★★ This year's feelgood Summer Nights season at the gorgeous Kelvingrove Bandstand opened with a provocateur in a tartan waistcoat and sporran mock-baiting the crowd with a 'hello Edinburgh' greeting. John Lydon tends to pop up these days grouching about his former Sex Pistols bandmates but this was his more eloquent showcase for his true talent, fronting the mighty Public Image Ltd on the defiantly named This Is Not the Last Tour. Even with a swampy sound mix to start, the foreboding power of Home cut through. John Lydon of Public Image Ltd | Getty Images Lydon is a remarkable vocal stylist and was in impressive form throughout, barking political maxims on the hip-hop adjacent World Destruction, his collaboration with Afrika Bambaataa. For all his dominant presence, there was no denying that this was a tight team effort from some magnificent musicians, with new drummer Mark Roberts fitting right in beside bassist Scott Firth and 'Super' Lu Edmonds, part of a long line of visionary PIL guitarists. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Lydon was clearly in his pussycat place as he emphasized 'you brought me happiness and sunshine' on an irresistibly funky This Is Not a Love Song, before pitching straight into the dubby metallic punk confluence of Poptones. The audacious Death Disco still sounded like the future, while Flowers of Romance shifted the musical axis with Firth on symphonic synths and Edmonds attacking a lute with a bow over insistent tribal beats. The latter was so immersed in the groove of Warrior that he overshot the ending.
