El33tonline has been bringing our readers tons of great competitions from the very start of 2010 until the year’s dying breath, but we’re still not done!

This time, we’ve got a competition for our North American readers! Exclusively!

All you need to do to stand a chance of winning the game is answer a simple question, related to a few hilarious (truly!) videos, included below.

Shaun White Skateboarding shows a fair deal of promise when you start the game. There’s an intriguing introduction to the dystopian world of New Harmony wherein players will soon be guiding their character through a moral uprising. The world is run by The Ministry and all forms of emotion and sentiment are banned. In fact, anything that may even remotely evoke emotions is banned. That means any tones of colour besides grey are just never in season. Any activities that may result in joy are not permitted, and the same is true for anything that may result in pain, because “pain is an emotion.”

New Harmony’s perspective on non-conformity is quite clear: in New Harmony it is only acceptable to be outstanding if you are indeed standing outside - and this must be done quietly, or else! Or else what? They’re not clear on this - it could be the death penalty, incarceration, or a wrap on the knuckles - besides knowing that the punishment would most certainly be bad, The Ministry’s not quite sure about the appropriate sort of punishment themselves because they’ve never had to exercise punishment since no one has ever (or would ever) dare to go against The Ministry.

Shaun White Skateboarding is launching across South Africa this Friday and to celebrate we’re giving away an awesome prize.

Head over here to get your entry in today. You can also double your chances of winning by entering over at Megarom’s Facebook page.

Never mind the fact that snowboarding superstar Shaun White has made the jump to the world of wheels and skateboards - just look at this mental launch trailer for Ubisoft’s next sports title adorned with his name!

Shaun White Skateboarding features, amongst other things, the ability to morph terrain in order to give yourself a better chance of scoring points, as well as the chance to extend grinding opportunities up into thin air!

Quite magical, but what else would you expect from ‘Animal’?

Watch the launch trailer for Shaun White Skateboarding to see the craziness in action:

Starting with the release of Shaun White Skateboarding this holiday season, Ubisoft is to begin including in-game, digital instructions and instructions manuals with the publisher’s range of physical disc-based PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 games.

This initiative will be in an effort to save production costs on games and, more importantly, save the trees that are used to create paper manuals currently found in all videogame boxes.

Ubisoft and Shaun White (the fiery red haired Olympic Gold medalist) have teamed up yet again, but this time to bring you a little bit of skateboarding action.

Shaun White Skateboarding is currently in development at Ubisoft Montreal and pencilled in for a “holiday 2010” release window. White is already well known for his snowboarding series but this will be the first skateboarding game in the Shaun White franchise, one that promises to offer “an innovative twist and fresh take on the skateboarding and action-sports genre.”
