If you want one of the best snowboarding games for this generation of consoles, Stoked: Big Air Edition is what you are looking for. This game is packed with pro boarders, real brand name sponsors, stylized tricks, real world locations, and plenty of challenges to keep you going. With its steep learning curve, amateurs beware, because this game may even challenge seasoned extreme sports gamers. With a price of $40 this makes this an easy game to purchase with all that's packed in it. The additional extra videos featuring the pro boarders in the game is an added bonus. This game lacks in multiplayer and has no split screen but hopefully this will improve as snowboarding season kicks in.

"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."
Stoked: Big Air edition was released in 2009 in the US- does the game cut it now it has finally been released in Europe?
"There’s plenty to do, and once you get used to the controls, the frustrations lessen a little. Getting 100% is a monumental challenge, and would take a seasoned gamer dozens of hours, so the game presents a great value proposition if you’re up for the challenge and get past the frustrations."
Everybody Plays: Way back when, when the Xbox 360 launched in 2005, a game launched alongside it to little or no real reception. That game was called Amped 3. Easily the jewel in the crown of the 360's launch line-up, Amped 3 was a snowboarding game like none that had come before it. With a madcap bunch of characters, a challenging single player mode, a sense of humour, and controls that almost anyone could pick up and play, Amped 3 set new standards for the snowboarding genre.
