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.
Cold Winter is a first-person shooter, both like and unlike any other. You may have seen gore zones, ragdoll physics, and intelligent enemies in a FPS before now, but you rarely see them all at

PS2/Xbox Preview - 'Predator: Concrete Jungle'

Genre: Action
Publisher: Vivendi Universal
Developer: Eurocom UK
Release Date: TBD
Here’s what we know.
Predator: Concrete Jungle takes place on Earth, in a city called Weyland on the west coast of the United States, in two separate chapters a hundred years apart.
In the first chapter, a young Predator has come to Earth to hunt humans. Specifically, he’s come to hunt the members of the Borgia crime family, who rule Weyland with an iron fist. 1930s-style mob violence meets alien technology in the ensuing bloodbath. It does not go well for the Predator.
A hundred years later, that same Predator, fresh from a

Men of Valor
Publisher: Vivendi Universal
Developer: 2015
Release Date: November 2004
Is it actually possible for one console to have too many good first-person shooters? We’re starting to reach that point, here.
You might know 2015 as the developers of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and its expansion pack Spearhead, published by EA.

You’ll be going in-country as Dean Shepherd, a black Marine, during the early stages of the Vietnam War. To fight the Vietcong, you’ll be rescuing
PS2/Xbox Preview - 'Red Ninja: End of Honor'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - E3 2004 May 12th

Genre : Action
Publisher: Vivendi Universal
Developer: Tranji
Release Date: Q4 2004
Thanks to my alarming ninja fetish, I’ve been looking forward to Red Ninja: End of Honor for a while now. Any game starring a female ninja will automatically grab my attention, for some strange and undoubtedly psychologically significant reason, and Red Ninja raises the ante in many significant ways.
For one thing, it is extraordinarily and unapologetically violent. The story, written by the Japanese writer/director Shinsuke Sato (Princess Blade; if you ever have the chance, check it out), is another bleak tale of a cycle of revenge, with
