Best Sports Game of 2012 - #7
"The reboot, released in February, was a revelation: By re-revolutionizing the snowboarding game, it reminded gamers who'd played the original just how innovative, creative, and downright brilliant it was. The graphics, lush, the characters, hilarious, and the gameplay is as perfect as it could be (with a halfway decent story mode, too). "

Best Use of Dubstep, 2012 - #3
"SSX has dubstep in its soundtrack, but it also has music like hip hop. Its best use comes from a mixture of the two. When entering Tricky Mode, Run DMC and heavy drops join forces to bring you into the wild world of dubstep (it makes you a better snowboarder). If you want to skip forward to what we're talking about, go to 0:20."
