Cold Winter

"...while Cold Winter is often a shooter much like most people have played many times before, there are enough specific and well-considered touches to make it worth a look. The nicely crafted dialogue, which often leads players through each level, is a good extra, as it keeps the story moving at just the right level of consciousness. Compare that to a game like Pariah -- which is sort of the Xbox's version of Cold Winter -- and I think Vivendi's title is more appealing, hands down."

"While the technical failings of Cold Winter will certainly provide many gamers a reason to pause, the underlying combat of the title and the intriguing storyline that delivers it warrant play, if not purchase."

"So, to conclude, this is a brilliant effort from a small development team, which succeeds not in flair or in originality, but by doing the things it does very well and having an extremely solid structure. If you want a quality FPS on the PS2 and haven't given Cold Winter a try yet, I fully recommend it."
