I do believe that there has been no announcements of any development, or even plans, for a next gen SSX. Although, I had the series of SSX games for the PS2 and thoroughly enjoyed them so I do hope that another will crop up in development soon for the next generation of consoles. Would be pretty cool to see how this new installment would look and what sort of direction they would go in with the game. Whether that be to stick with the traditional gameplay and concentrate on the visual quality or maybe a rework of the gameplay to allow for more realism, as you suggested.

The last SSX game, I believe, was for the Wii back in 2007. Is that correct? Anyway that doesn't matter. Just a slither of information. However, I believe there is an SSX game coming for the i-phone this year. Evaluating the list of game releases from publisher EA Sports BIG, it seems that there is nothing of an SSX game in 2009 and 2010. We can only hope I suppose.

:D

Dead Space is a pretty good game in itself, could offer moments of intense atmosphere that would provide the player with a few jumps. Always did appretiate the 'scary' element of the Silent Hill games though.

After giving it a slight bit of thinking, I would think to say that it depends on the game. However, the moment I normally insert the disk of an RPG game, I reassure myself that the fun elements of a game truly show when the evil inside of you shines. Shame that it never works for me, I just cannot be that evil person, even considering the circumstances. Now, I haven't played the amount of RPG's to the extent of some others so my experience of the genre is limited in comparison. But I prefer to have a much larger concentration towards the intelligence and the agility of the character. As for why I'm not sure, I'm not too good with strategic placement of attributes.

To actually answer the question :) I prefer to be the holier than thou character. At least on the first playthrough.

I am indeed looking forward to this. They seem to have identified a lot of the complaints issued towards the first and seem to have corrected them to the reception that the first got. Which is always a good thing. Especially looked forward to the stage demo of Assassins Creed 2 before and thought it looked brilliant. Personally, it is the game I am most looking forward to.
