GamingUnion: "There are a bunch of Snowboarding titles that have tried to make the 'boarding' experience as fun as the real thing, but not many of the succeeded. That was, until SSX came on the scene and because arguably the best series for the snowboarding genre, with SSX Tricky being the pinnacle of crazy snowboarding fun."
It's an (SSX) tricky task to pick just ten video game soundtracks that defined the 2000s in gaming, but we did our best.
TBG looks at the use of popular songs in video games.
Grand Theft Auto 3, ran their entire advertising campaign, with Flock of Seagulls I Ran! Great song, for a great game.
The Dead Sara Heart Shaped Box cover sounds better than the Nirvana original IMO. Fit the tone of the game perfectly. Loved Second Son.
The article is for song made games btw guys. Silent Hill game songs, SimCity 4, Diablo 1 and 2, Tenchu, so many I missed don't know or dont remember.
Bioshock with Beyond the Sea and Gears of War with Mad World were great advertisments with music meshing. Also great games...
"If you’re a fan of a good snowboarding game, then no doubt you will be intrigued by Ubisoft’s new release Steep which is out next month. This is the first snow sports game to be released by the developers, so you’ll want to know what to expect. Previously, game developers EA were churning out snowboard titles in a typical fun arcade style with the popular title SSX. So how will Steep measure up to the well-loved play style of SSX?"
It won't measure up. There's almost nothing that I want more than a new SSX that mixes the best of every game in the series. SSX is a legendary franchise to me that I continuously go back to and play still to this day.
SSX Tricky and SSX3 weren't just great sports games. They were defining experiences of the PS2 era and two of the greatest games of all time. Hardcore or casual, sports fan or not, SSX is just plain fun for everyone. Impeccable level design, fantastic soundtracks, addictive gameplay, vibrant visuals, replayability...
Steep's chances of eclipsing that are extremely slim.
It's not fair to compare those games imho...it's a very different concept and style of game.
