Women Gamers have just posted a review of Heart of Winter, the expansion pack for Icewind Dale. Here's a snippet:
Like all of Bioware's Infinity Engine AD&D games, there's nothing new in terms of the interface and how one navigates around the snow-filled caverns of the Dale. However, as mentioned in my preamble, the storyline in HoW is unique, in it that the premise is no more than the tragic tale of vengeance, with a remote link to the original IWD. What about it is so unique then? Well, I've never seen such a plot applied to a game before. Since I'm not going to spoil it for you, let's just say that that this premise, although a little short, was somewhat more gripping than IWD's original story of two pompous enemies using the Dale as their battleground.
