Rating: 4.5/5 - Frost Bite is a truly great game, even if it doesn't seem to manage to get into that group of elite games, which people always remember. The game has fun, cartoon-like graphics, with several levels to advance through, which are filled with enemies, bonuses, and things to help you climb up the levels. The game has been beautifully-made, with barely any faults, except for the fact that the levels can become a little tedious after a while. Make sure you don't miss out on this great game!

Game #005: Deep Freeze

Controls: Arrow keys to move, Spacebar to fire gun and kick frozen enemies, Mouseclick to pause and turn sound off (click icons in corner).

Difficulty: Medium, progressively harder

Objective: The game is quite similar to a Super Mario game in some aspects, but with Santa Claus instead. Freeze your enemies with your gun, then kick their frozen-selves and collect the presents for points, as well as power-ups and extra lives. There are bosses to defeat, too.

Rating: 4/5 - Another Wintery game is Deep Freeze, and it is a game well-worth playing. It is in the form of a Super Mario game, with similar sound effects, and some nice background music. The game is easy enough to play, but addictive, with several levels, and challenging bosses to defeat (it's a shame you defeat all of the bosses in the same way). I'm unsure whether it's meant to look like it does, but I feel like the creators could have tried a little harder with the graphics, as they make the game look a little old. Don't let this deter you, though - Deep Freeze is a fun game to play.

Game #004: Ice Slide

Controls: Click and hold to fire, and mouseclick to jump over obstacles whilst sliding.

Difficulty: Hard

Objective: Fire your chosen polar animal across the snowy surroundings, as far as you can. Make it jump over obstacles, otherwise it will slow down, and eventually stop.

Rating: 2/5 - Even though Ice Slide is not a new concept to the world of internet gaming, having been done many times in different formats before, it is still a fun one worth playing, if you have the time. It's not something you should especially make time to play it, though. The game has fairly good graphics, with a choice of three polar animals to hurl - a Walrus, a Seal or a Penguin. However, the penguin is by far the best animal to launch, so it seems pointless even having the other options. To add to this, the game feels quite unfair at times, not seeming to let you jump over the obstacles. You should play Ice Slide, but only if you have some spare time on your hands...
