Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Ubisoft has announced another collaboration with floppy-haired board-rider Shaun White, working together to create Shaun White Skateboarding, a new entry in the action-sports genre aimed for release towards the end of 2010.

Even though Shaun White Snowboarding received a somewhat lukewarm reception, Mr. White seems stoked about this new venture: "I can't describe how excited I am about the skateboard game. We've been working on it for a while now and it's ready to melt minds."

After Tony Hawk: RiDE faceplanted quite badly, there may well be room for another skateboarding franchise at the top of the pile, and Ubisoft will be hoping that Shaun White Skateboarding fills that gap when it hits the halfpipe during the 2010 holiday period.

I'm still not convinced that I'm ready to have my mind melted, though.
