Target just released their own limited-edition Shaun White Snowboarding video game and Frank151 is happy to announce that we will be giving away free copies to 10 faithful Frank fans!

Shaun White Snowboarding - Target Exclusive Edition was designed by Ubisoft and is available on Xbox 360, Playstation3 and Wii. The special edition features exclusive extended content that consumers will not find in the original version, including the Target Mountain, exclusive jibs, added scenes, and more characters. Additionally, players can cozy-up in the virtual version of the Target Chalet, the only indoor environment available in the game. The Target Chalet is a real-life mountainside home where Shaun and fellow Target athletes hang out with friends and family during the annual Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado.

One test drive of the game and we were hooked. The navigation system and movement capabilities are superior in the world of action-sports video games. This game will most certainly do for snowboarding what the Madden series did for football and what Tony Hawk did for skateboarding.

So, to cop a copy, answer the following question:

Die-hards know that, in addition to being a professional snowboarder, Shaun White is also an accomplished skateboarder. What signature skate trick did he invent?

Email your answers to FDL(at)frank151.com and include your name, contact info, and platform of choice (Xbox 360, PS3 or Wii). The first ten correct responses win a copy of Shaun White Snowboarding - Target Exclusive Edition!

Good luck! (more…)

The world’s biggest snowboarder just got smaller. Shaun White is now following in the footsteps of Tony Hawk and John Madden by being immortalized in a video game that is going to change sports videogames. Frank was invited to a special preview and test drive of the new Ubisoft Shaun White Snowboarding Target exclusive edition. The special Target edition of the game, available on Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION3 and Wii, will have exclusive extended content and features that consumers won’t be able to find anywhere else, including the Target Mountain. Gamers will also be able to take advantage of special jibs, additional scenes and more characters. Players will also be able to cozy up in the game’s virtual version of the Target Chalet, the real-life mountainside home where Shaun and his fellow athletes hang out with friends and family during the annual Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado.

This game was thoroughly impressive. They make video games “grandpa friendly” now, so we got right in there and had a blast. This video game will do for snowboarding what Hawk’s empire  did for skating games. If you can’t make it to the slopes this season, here’s your chance to rock it out at home. This product will be available at Target stores this winter.

According to his post-game quotes, Matt Stairs must be into some freaky celebratory shit. Following the 2-run blast that made Jonathan Broxton the new old-Brad Lidge, he had this to say:

“When you get that nice celebration coming into the dugout and you’re getting your ass hammered by guys — there’s no better feeling than to have that done.”

Hey, I’m not here to judge, Matt. Do whatcha gotta.
