Lonely gamers need not worry about how to fill their time on the most romantic of holidays this year. Twisted Metal and Binary Domain were already set for a Valentine's Day release, and EA has added its own game to the mix with the official SSX site now listing a February 14 release for the over-the-top snowboarding title.

The series' cast of familiar characters returns to the slopes on Valentine's Day.

While the game was originally announced with the subtitle "Deadly Descents" and a grim tone, EA tweaked the name and tweaked the tone to something more in keeping with the series' lighthearted roots.

While SSX will still feature the tricks and high-speed racing the series was previously known for, EA is changing the formula a bit. This time out, there will be no boundaries on the mountain, allowing players to free-ride virtually anywhere they please.

SSX is set for release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's latest preview of SSX.
