News: Joust with Avril Lavigne and others.



EA Canada, the developer by the popular Wii game EA Playground, is working on another sports minigame collection for the console as Electronic Arts has announced Celebrity Sports Showdown.

The title describes the game perfectly as it will include ten celebrities and pit them against each in cartoony representations of twelve extreme sports. The selectable celbrities include five singers and five atheletes: Fergie, Avril Lavigne, LeAnn Rimes, Keith Urban, Nelly Furtado, Paul Pierce, Mia Hamm, Kristi Yamaguchi, Reggie Bush and Sugar Ray Leonard. And here are the sports they'll be taking part in:

Hit the great outdoors as you paddle through rapids in "Wild Water Canoeing" and hold on tight as you fly behind a speed boat for some wild "Inner-Tubing!" Get out of the water and onto the court as you hit away in "Beach Volleyball" and "Smash Badminton", or take aim at your opponents in "Arena Dodgeball". Cool down while you hit the slopes in "Slalom Showdown", or sweep past your opponents in "Curling". Get a bird's eye view scaling a wall in "Cliff Hangers" or flying through the sky in "Air Racers". Perfect your aim and nail the targets in "Rapid Fire Archery", then gauge your strength in the gladiator-style "Joust Duel", and hold on to the reigns of a champion thoroughbred all the way to the finish line in "Hurdle Derby".
Celebrity Sports Showdown is scheduled for a Winter 2008 release on the Wii.
