Cold Winter (PS2)
Developer: Swordfish Studios
Publisher: Vivendi Universal
Release Date: Q1 2005
If the Cold War’s over, no one bothered to tell Andrew Sterling. A captured MI-6 agent, he’s endured months of torture in a Chinese prison, and expects to be killed at any moment. Suddenly, thanks to an old friend, he’s free, armed, and has a shot at escape. His problems, strangely, are just beginning.

PS2/Xbox Preview - 'Red Ninja: End of Honor'

Xbox Preview - 'Far Cry Instincts'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005

Genre: Action
Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Release Date: September 2005
Although not one of our most-anticipated games of 2005, Far Cry Instincts' move to the console from the PC could be a very exciting addition to the Xbox roster. In a move to bring the game to console, Ubisoft is committed to the arduous task of making Far Cry look as good on the Xbox as it does on the PC.
Given the constraints of the Xbox as compared to your costly gaming PC, Ubisoft has indeed taken up the challenge, and from what we see at this point,
PC Preview - 'Dark Age of Camelot: Darkness Rising'

Genre: MMORPG
Publisher: Mythic Entertainment
Developer: Mythic Entertainment
Release Date: Q4 2005
