Yes, ever since a virtualized Tony Hawk first showed us how much fun pulling ridiculous trick combos could be, we've been hooked, and the genre has flourished. Snowboarding has never been as popular as skateboarding in the video games world, with only a handful of titles, but some of these have been truly outstanding. 1080 Snowboarding on the N64, SSK Tricky on the Xbox, and even Amped 3, already available on the 360, have all been great games, and reflected the over the top nature of the sport."
