10 Sports That Deserve Truly Great Video Games

6. Skiing

With the likes of the SSX series proving to be the most notable examples, it's largely only snowboarding that's captured the attention of video game developers. While a few ski-based challenges made their way into these games, a title that really explores the exciting nuances of the many forms of skiing is yet to rear its head.

From downhill to cross country, skiing can be a remarkable test of control and endurance for competitors. Add to that the fact that it takes people to some of the most picturesque and stunning locations on earth and you'll realise why so many people consider a proper skiing experience as a genuine bucket list item.

While Poppermost Productions have recently released their free-to-play open world winter sports game, Snow, there still isn't anything on the market with the capability to capture the genuine excitement of the real thing. It's environments and challenges are solid enough at first glance, but a title that really makes you feel like you're whipping through the pine air is the video game skiers deserve.
