EA Sports is releasing a new video game in the 'SSX'(Snowboard Super Cross) series which will simply be called...'SSX'. Much like when they released a new version of 'NBA Jam' last year and just called it 'NBA Jam'.

Well, the last 'SSX' game was 'SSX Blur', which was released in 2007 for the Wii. Most people remember the original 'SSX' for the Playstation 2 which was released in 2000, and 'SSX Tricky' which was released in 2001 for the Playstation 2, GameCube, and Xbox.

I had 'SSX Tricky' for the GameCube and played the shit out of it. Absolutely loved it. So I'm pretty excited for the new 'SSX' which is supposed to be much more in-depth as you'd expect, and will of course will be a significant visual improvement over the previous games in the series.

Here's a recently released trailer for the game:

And here's an example of the gameplay from back in June(so it may not look quite as good as the finished product will):

Looks pretty badass.

It's due to release in North America on January 3, 2012 for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
