10 inches of snow in the last 10 hours here. And tonight it drops to -18 F.

Good snow games?

Cheers.

convincing a local kid or relative that is naive enough that yellow snow is a rare miracle of nature where snow tastes of lemon.

What exactly do you mean by "snow games"? Games for playing in the snow? Games with snow in them? Games where snow is an integral part of the gameplay? Games with the word "snow" in the title?
Google told me it equals -27°C. Does it take wind into account ?


Edit : oh and .... Ice climbers comes to mind ;)

Well, it'd cost you something if you don't have a PS2 but SSX3 is awesome and actually both that and a used PS2 would cost you less than a new AAA game.

There's nothing like snowboarding down mountains at high speed from the comfort of my couch while it is snowing and freezing cold outside. :D

If you have a newer console, there should be newer SSX titles to enjoy similarly.
Penumbra (or Black Plague) has some excellent snow sections.

Cryostasis plays also pretty well with snow and ice.

Commandos may have a bit of "where eagles dare" in it.

I haven't played Icewind Dale, how are the mointains in it ?

Well, I meant games with snow in the gameplay. But, now that I think about it i should state that I hate sports games.

That's the actual temperature. Wind chill brings it down in the -30 range.

That's probably what I'm looking for. Thanks!

You're welcome. I actually intended to start the very same thread, a couple of months ago. More specifically, about a little nitpicking obsession of mine : Any game with SNOW FOOTPRINTS in it ? I'm always disappointed when snow is just white paint, in games.

Anyway, I also add mention of snow atmosphere in some parts of Neverwinter Nights, and some levels of Medal of Honor. But also Skyrim (haven't played it) and Bloodmoon (the Morrowind expansion). On GOG, Sang-Froid looks quite cold, and I think that Don't Starve is seasonal enough to include some winter-y survival issues.

Oh, and Syberia !! Especially the second one.

Re-edit, just to mention a supposedly decent videogame adaptation of The Thing, but it's not on gog. Vote here.
