Hippo Penny! Time to dig in to some dungeon-crawling goodness with Dungeons of Hinterberg. I'm not a critic-y-poo like those fancy folks at Game Pass or PC Gamer (although, let's be real, their scores are almost as impressive as my gaming skills).

Hippo Penny! It's your boy here, reviewing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 with my signature blend of humor and gaming expertise (or lack thereof).

But before we dive in, let me just say that I'm not as cool as the Video Chums folks, who seem to think this game is "a ton of fun" (ahem).
