25.) SSX Tricky
Developed by: Electronic Arts Canada
Published by: Electronic Arts
Released: November 6, 2001
The first SSX game was a revelation, while the third was a mind-blowing experience that let you take a full half-hour ride down a series of ever-rising peaks, but it was Tricky that served as the ultimate example of PS2 snowboarding goodness. It was still a race, like the first game, but it upped the focus on tricks (hence the name), provided an absolutely killer (and interactive, thanks to the work of Johnny Morgan and the EA Canada audio team) soundtrack that put Run DMC at the forefront and offered some of the most amazing and imaginative tracks ever seen in a so-called extreme sports title.
Man was it good, and though the series was fantastic all the way through, it was Tricky that holds a special place in our hearts.
