Carve (Xbox) - Xbox

Compete on one of 27 globe-spanning tracks that take in locations as diverse as Thailand, Iceland, Amsterdam and the Grand Canyon. Earn your water wings and then attempt to master the ultimate challenge of the Steel Ocean. But first, you've got to decide who you're going to ride as. Max--rich boy gone bad--or perhaps the allure of ice maiden-cum-water-babe Amiko is more to your liking? Fuel-inject another six wetsuit wonders into the mix (Adrienne, Moke, Oz, Nikolai, Elena and Mizuki) and prepare for a multi-player massacre.

The game supports four-way split screen races, or eight player contests via Xbox Live. But, most impressively of all, it arrives with a team-based co-op mode that allows you to hinder other riders while giving your partner a chance to be first across the line.
