Game Focus writes: "I'll admit…I'm not very good with snowboards. Actually, it's the only sport (alongside Jai alai) that gives me the creeps and that I swore to never do but, I've recently been battling one of my fears by playing snowboarding games on consoles. For me, two games really stood out: 1080 Snowboarding on the N64 and Amped 2 on the original Xbox. The others, even if I enjoyed them, never really caught my attention. Actually, after Shaun White Snowboarding and its coin-collecting mumbo-jumbo, my fear of true snowboarding was beginning to transfer to virtual snowboarding…until I played Stoked. And while it's not as pretty and perfect some people may expect, it delivers what gamers want in their snowboarding game: a straightforward, challenging, fun and smart experience worth spending hours on it."

"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."
