"When it comes to video games based on extreme sports, I’m usually pretty ambivalent. They’re a lot of fun at first, but tend to get repetitive or turn into button mashers. Oh, awesome, I just punched the controller and flipped into the air for the hundredth time. While at GameX, the Binge Gamer crew got to check out Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage. The name alone didn’t give me much hope until I realized that this was the Shaun White title demo’ed at E3, making use of the Wii’s balance ..."
"Road Trip was the only version of Shaun White Snowboarding I didn’t get a chance to play. My main gripe with the PS3/360 version was that there were far too many impurities; the difficulty was ramped high, which was only worsened by the clunky controls, and the online play was broken. The DS version however, was a thrill ride, offering some simple boarding fun. The Wii version is hailed as the best, mainly because of the balance board focus, which brings completely separated it from the other..."

"I havent been huge on snowboarding games (SSX fans, my apologies) but something about Shaun White caught my eye. Originally, of course, I had set my eyes on the Playstation 3 version, in which you create your own snowboarder and free roam four different mountain ranges with friends online, but the DS version, I figured, was worth a spin (or should I say FS Misty?)"
"I recently had the privilege of some Hands-on with this game at a Ubisoft Retailers evening in held in Sydney at the Greenwood Hotel, Nth Sydney. You need to see that place to appreciate it. And naturally, under strict press embargo rules, I havent been able to discuss it - that is of course, until now. Shaun Whites Snowboarding is here, well almost, and it is about to make an impression with anyone that plays it or let alone sees it.
While the build we played was around 75% complete, ..."
I normally don't do the top list thing, since there's approximately 19 billion of them already, but PocketGamer does seems to be doing gamers a service with this one, helping you sort through the muck this fourth quarter.
Following up on their Top 10 Q4 DS games to look forward to, this one focuses on the PSP. Oddly it doesn't seem like the most stellar list, but perhaps that's just personal opinion. Nevertheless, do you think this season is a poor one for PSP games?

Built from the ground up on both platforms, each versio..."
