Defying gravity with SSX
The new SSX game focuses on adrenaline-fueled action and jumping from helicopters. So to demonstrate this, EA Sports decided to gather a few unknowing volunteers and throw them off the top of Battersea Power Station in London. I happened to be one of those volunteers... We got all kitted up with boarding gear and were strapped to a 60-metre high Zip-line. It was then up to us to make the jump off the top of the building into the darkness below. The worst part was looking down, but once I took the leap, it was awesome and I managed to pull off some sweet tricks in my colourful getup. The Zip-line itself lasted 400-metres, so allowed us plenty of time to get some 'big air' tricks in. SSX is available now in the US and will hit UK stores on March 2nd. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)And because EA published Valve games on consoles, they're allowed to just throw some Portal dialogue in there? Weird. That's cool, too bad the game was a huge disappointment. I wish EA would just craft ONE good mountain, fully featured from peak to base, with snow that sparkles, quick tricks, and slower downhill. I rented SSX and returned if after a day because it was too fast with too many bottomless pits, rewind or not. I put in SSX 3 and had fun afterwards. They used the older bindings and not the ones that are in the game? Guess they are saving their money for when they get sued by Valve over the Portal sound bite. Journalism!
