IGN: Stoked Updated Impressions

Snowboarding games have always run into one insurmountable challenge and it has nothing to do with tricking off of jumps, grinding rails or face planting into the side of that log cabin in the distance. Instead the main hurdle that snowboarding games have slammed into is the culture of the sport. Snowboarders are like junkies about their hobby because of the feeling of carving down the mountain and nailing that one, sweet jump just so.

6 Worst Game Titles of the Seventh Generation

AlienLion writes:

"As the seventh generation of consoles nears its’ mud dive, we feel the need for yet another round up, as part of our send off.

Mygamer: Stoked: Big Air Edition Review

Mygamer writes: "Stoked: Big Air Edition is a game I didn't know existed. Other than Ubisoft's Shaun White series, I thought there were no more snowboarding games being made, which was a shame since they tend to be a lot of fun, particularly the SSX series. Stoked goes in a different direction, separate from the arcade feel from the SSX series or the Extreme Games fame set up that Shaun White offers. Not unlike EA's successful Skate franchise, Stoked is all about making a name for yourself the old fashioned way. Forgoing huge competitions, Stoked is all about the sport."
