After an absence of mountain sports video games in recent years, there are three that will hit the market between now and early December. The first to arrive is "Mark McMorris Infinite Air," which attempts to deliver an ultra-simulation take on snowboarding.
Developer HB Studios has the pedigree in the sports genre that provides some instant credibility, having worked on franchises in the past that include "Tiger Woods," "Rugby" and "NBA Live." Their most recent effort, the independently developed "The Golf Club," was very similarily structured to "Infinite Air" and was well-received by both critics and consumers.
Unfortunately, the same approach to snowboarding doesn't work nearly as well as it did with golf.
