GrE writes, "Shaun White. No, he is NOT a Carrot Top wannabe. He's oh so much cuter than that. Oh, and did I mention that he's an Olympic GOLD medalist? I'm sure you probably know far more about him than I do, but I can tell you with assurity that you do NOT have to know ANYTHING about Shaun or snowboarding to enjoy this game. There is a lot to cover with the game, so let's just jump right in..."
"Ubisoft has seemed to have hit a mine of potential with the Shaun White branding. This new series of games started out with a multi-platform snowboarding game that sold over a million copies on the Wii alone. Clearly, the sales numbers have prompted the developers to release a sequel to this successful game, entitled 'Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage'. And plans are well under way to develop a skateboarding game based off the Olympian gold medalist. Now I personally thought the first game (SWS: Road Trip) was pretty fun, but I did have trouble really getting into it. How does the sequel compare?" -- Wiiloveit.com

Shaun White appeared on KROQ this morning...with a little bit of news to spill.
I can't really say this is on my list of must owns.
I am skeptical purely because of the fact that they turned around a sequel so fast.
I'll wait for it to hit the bargain bin ... next week.
There's something to be said for a good snowboarding game. We still play SSX on our Wii
Shaun White - Carrot Top. Separated at birth?
