A fun game that might not have much staying power

Other than renting Amped 3 one time I haven't played very many snowboarding games. My love of Tony Hawk series of games have at least made me interested in checking this release out since it was on PS… Read more

Review: SSX

Remember when ‘fun factor’ was a major component of a video game’s review score? Whatever happened to that? Playing a game like SSX — a fun, adrenaline-fueled sensory overload of an experience — makes… Read more

Scratches the arcade snowboarding itch

It seems that rebooting franchises has become just as popular a trend with game publishers as it is in Hollywood, with Fifa Street, Tomb Raider, Syndicate, Twisted Metal, Devil May Cry and arcade-snow… Read more

SSX has finally returned. This reboot is great and exhilarating.

Owning the Planet One Mountain at a Time...

After a six year hiatus, SSX is finally back and rebooted for the current generation of consoles. It has been a long time coming for this franchise to debut on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 and even… Read more

SSX

What can be said about the new SSX? It's got a lot of things going for it. It also may leave some fans in the lurch. It largely depends on what SSX games of old meant to you. In the PS2/XboX generatio… Read more
