Top Five Games Containing Snow

With a great deal of the white stuff lying fresh on the earth after today’s winter wonderland action, what better time to recount five of our favourite snow-based titles that you should all get stuck into this evening. Preferably in front of a warm fire…

5) Sonic Adventure

One of many stand-out moments in what is still Sonic’s greatest 3D adventure, this yet again sees our spiky hero taking on a snowboarding challenge from both the front and the rear. Except you don’t have to spend your time wondering if Michael Jackson made the music, this time.

4) Snowboard Kids

If you’re over the age of, say, sixteen, you’re going to feel somewhat creepy trying out this N64 Mario Kart on ice. Still, it holds a warm place in our hearts, mainly thanks to catching racers with a parachute as they entered a jump. Float to last place, you loser!

3) Snowball Fight

This modern Indie title allows you to take revenge on the concept of Avatars in snowball form. Not what it says on the sell text, but justification enough for us!

2) Sega Rally

Some of the most visually satisfying snow of recent years, in a title cruelly overlooked in favour of po-faced racers.

1) South Park

One of the worst videogames of all time, almost without question, though the ability to pelt turkeys with snowballs as Cartman shouldn’t be missed on a night like this. Right, that should be enough to keep everyone entertained until tomorrow…
