We used to have a new Tony Hawk game very year. SSX was a blast to play, though I didn't care at all for the PS3 version (redo/rewind and start over?! come on defeats the purpose!). And now extreme sports games seem to have vanished from the landscape, with no sign of them appearing on the horizon any time soon. What a shame too. These new powerful systems are just asking for new skating and snowboarding games. Hopefully a publisher steps up and delivers, without trying to get too clever about it.

For skateboarding, OlliOlli will be out on PlayStation Vita tomorrow.

I don't believe there are any new snowboarding games that have been announced. SSX is the latest.
