X2 Snowboarding hitting the App Store this month

Any sport involving a mountain, steep descents and snow has to be fun. It's just a shame that most of us don't have the luxury of a chalet or a piste.

Still, even if we did it's unlikely we'd be grinding rails and doing Rodeo flips off massive purpose-built jumps.

X2's forthcoming extreme sport sim X2 Snowboarding proposes to give you the adrenaline rush without any of the pain or expense.

As with most snowboard games, the idea is to compete in various types of event, including Freestyle and Trick-Race.

Developer X2 Games claims, "X2 Snowboarding combines high-quality graphics with a finely-balanced control method, allowing riders to compete in exhilarating extreme sports action."

X2 Snowboarding is due out this month. We'll let you know when it lands on the App Store.
