Cold War, an offering from Mindware Studios, is a stealth espionage
action game for the Mac. The game is quite clearly a Splinter Cell
knock-off, but it has a lot going for it that makes it worth a look for
fans of the genre. For one, I’m just glad I didn’t have to match any
jewels to play the game, but that's beside the point.
Cold War takes place, you guessed it, during the late stages of the
Cold War. In the game, you are Matthew Carter (who might look more than
a little like one Gordon Freeman), a regular MacGuyver who has decided
that freelance photography is his calling and has spent many years
traveling the world, getting the hard shots. Matthew’s latest
assignment is the one that gets him into trouble, though. He’s lured to
the USSR by a shifty KGB agent, then framed for an assassination
attempt. The game picks up as Matthew attempts to escape and unravel
the truth along the way.
