Stoked is not as bad as you'll originally think when the disc spins up. In fact, it's actually pretty darn close to being a good snowboarding game. The physics and the general act of hopping onto a board and carving, leaping, and tricking your way down the mountain could be much tighter than they are, as could the general design and progression of the gameplay, but touches like snazzy weather effects, cool challenges online and (eventually) in single-player will please the diehard boarders out there. The annoyances of Stoked won't be for everyone, but diehard snowboarders looking for a lengthy (and cheap) game to sink their teeth into needn't look any further.

"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. This time, we will provide six examples of the most regrettably titled games of the past seven or eight years. Again, we will avoid the more obscure titles, because otherwise, the list would be endless, with stuff like Touch Dic and Sticky Balls (we fucking wish we were joking).
These are the rather well known games that have or will come out on some of the major consoles. This way, we can all appreciate just how little gaming has advanced, in that department, over the last few decades."
Surely there are plenty of gaming websites out there, from mere portfolios, to gaming blogs , all the way to giant robots on corporate scooters. Gaming has evolved not only to creating a great game, but presenting a iconic look on the web. Here are ten iconic websites that outshine a lot other gaming websites out on the web. "Don't miss out on this tasty selection of code."

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."
Fuk snowboarding. Make a Skiing game.
Sucks how AA and physics brought this game down (for IGN at least), weren't graphics for this game a touted feature?
Speaking of snowboarding, what ever happened to Amped? That game was actually fun!
Xbox Fanboys were stoked for stoked.
Flop.
