AS a lad, hurtling down a snowy slope on a tea tray, it never occurred to me to try a tail grab, 540 or 720 Canadian bacon.

EA Sports have come up with a game to ensure even I can look cool on the slopes this winter.

SSX Snowboard Supercross can lay claim to being one of the few launch games we rare PlayStation 2 owners simply must buy.

The game features some of the best graphics seen on any system and superb sound, including a host of top dance tracks. It may be cold outside but SSX is the perfect excuse to stay in this month with one of the hottest releases of the year.
