Review by Forge on April 30-2014

A three mini-map Christmas and winter themed episode.

Locations can range from frozen canyons, a ship locked in ice, to snow covered city streets.
Pretty much all the art, effects, and enemies are pulled straight from the Nuclear Winter addon.
Most of the outdoor area are done fairly well with decent architecture and detailing. There's a good amount of elbow room to move around in and the enemy battles are enjoyable.
The indoor rooms are something else altogether. Most range in size from closet to walk-in closet. It doesn't leave much room for anything other than opening the door and shooting the alien wedged in there.
From the borrowed ambiance to the borrowed Zykov Eddy The Dream sequences there is not a whole lot of originallity or things that haven't been commonly seen before, but the tight tolerances between supplies and enemies makes it good for some fire fight action.

Texturing/Lighting-Shading: 7/10
Sprite Work/Detailing: 8/10
Ambiance: 8/10
Architecture: 16/20
Layout: 18/20
Gameplay/Design: 27/30
Score: 84
