Apparently EA Sports Active is so important that it deserves its own store. Throughout the run-up to Christmas, Electronic Arts will be operating two stores in San Fransisco and Boston, and EA Sports Active is the only game they’ll sell. Not that EA’s desperate to sell it or anything.

The stores will only be open until December 14, so you ideal hurry if you want to visit one of the stupidest shops in America. Bring the children, bring the folks, it’ll be the experience of a lifetime! Seriously though … is this really a thing that needed to happen?

If I was a game I wouldn’t dream of debuting on the same morning two mass marketed follow-ups to very special and successful IPs did. But I’m pretty sure if I was game, I wouldn’t have big muscles. Or a brain. And I would be much less smudge resistant. So, I probably wouldn’t know any superior than to launch alongside Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed 2 and Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2 like Tony Hawk: RIDE did yesterday morning.

And if you didn’t know RIDE launched, now you do. (The trailer above trailer should help).

I was totally unaware of RIDE’s launch until this afternoon after spotting #tonyhawktuesday on Twitter. In addition to revealing a game, though, I’m pretty sure the discussion through the hash tag has helped find a way to end world hunger among other problems. Go Tony Hawk Tuesday!
