Basic terrorists/spy action 1st person shooter puts on a pretty good show
Strengths: Nuts-and-bolts first person action with good weapons. Plenty of action. Some enviornment/object interactivity challenges. Better than average voice acting. Effective cutscenes.
Weakness: Gritty violence a bit strong for younger players. Interactivity with environments could have been deeper. No real innovation as shooters go.
Bought this game without knowing anything about it. Ultimately was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the gameplay. Haven't tried out the online component but, from what I've read, it's decent. Good weapon models, surprisingly graphic violence, nicely done cutscenes and well-paced action all earn this game a solid B+ in my book.

Cold Winter
Strengths: Gameplay, online play
Weakness: Graphics
Cold Winter is another First Person Shooter game. The graphics of this game is pretty bad. It is just out dated. There is rag doll physics, which is nice. The online play extends the game, which makes it fun. The gameplay is pretty good. If you like FPS, you can try this game out.

Serves its Purpose
Strengths: It has an interesting story. The game has some level/surroundings interaction and the rag doll physics is fun to watch.
Weakness: The graphics are just passable. The game is also over pretty quick.
Cold Winter is fun while it lasts. Good for a rental if you're a fan of first person shooters or as a budget title to keep you busy between releases. The voicework and dialogue work well together to make the story interesting. There's some interaction with the environments like flipping over tables to use as cover but it doesn't get any deeper. Cold Winter's greatest weakness is in the graphics....

Another rent-by-the-night FPS shooter
Strengths: fast, quick, easy
Weakness: too easy, too short
This is another renter for the FPS fans out there. It is short and sweet, lacking the depth of the king of FPS out there. So, do yourself a favor and rent this rather than buy it, and save yourself $30. The graphics is nice, the storyline is okay, the action is quick and packed, but the depth is missing.

No frills, but some thrills
Strengths: Gameplay is fun, good story, interactive environments
Weakness: Graphics not the best, about 10 hours long
Straigtforward but enjoyable, Cold Winter is a first-person shooter whose storyline revolves around spies, terrorists, and nuclear weapons. Each level has a series of objectives, and due to some onscreen help, you'll never get lost. Most of the game is average, but the voice work is good, and the game moves along at a decent speed.
