Ice Breaker Series

 Out of the abundance stored in their creative minds, Nitrome has assembled a trademark strategy based on that Nordic seafaring tribe we've all come to love-the beloved Vikings as they founded Greenland during the lush temperate Medieval Warm Period(or so the story goes).

 But as they say.."All good things must end someday". Indeed, the Little Ice Age nearly drove them to starvation and froze their little morsels stiff. Not for another five centuries would the glaciers(at least) partially recede.

 By 1850, one pirate was completely thawed. He is now tasked with the burden of anti-freezing his remaining little buddies. The task may seem easy but as soon as you add in a few Yeti's, boulders, and wood(from past infrastructure), things aren't so simple.

 Currently, there are three installments to the series...


1. Ice Breaker

2. Ice Breaker-The Red Clan

3. Ice Breaker-The Gathering

Ice Breaker Review

 I love the musical sound tracking and effects. Great attention to detail often yields perfection. As with all Nitrome blockbusters, the artery and design is better then your average strategy flick(with an added nostalgic kick). 

 I couldn't really find anything to gripe about(other then looping the same music on all three episodes). Lee Stobel ranks way up there with the few giants in the online gaming arena. Clearly he get's 5 stars from me!


Ratings: 5 Stars!

Ice Breaker: The Gathering

 Just a few weeks prier, Nitrome launched their third installment to The Ice Breaker series-a threequel if you will called "The Gathering".

 This episode is much like it's predecessors except for a few bombs thrown in there to further spice things up. There are also five clans(8 levels each) that need rescuing-each with their own unique headlines.

 Use the mouse to manipulate your environment(weather it be slicing a few glaciers, extending a bulldozer hand, or even igniting a few bombs).

Hurry up before Global Warming finishes the job before you do! In that case, they'd rather be dead(then become a satisfying appetizer to a bunch of growling Yetis).
Is this the last episode? Stay tuned...

Ice Breaker The Sequel

 Nitrome has developed a sequel for our red bearded friends. Namely "The Red Clan" that promises 40 more cookie-cutter courses filled with melting glaciers, little grouchy Yeti's, and craggy boulders suspended in mid-air.

 Apparently these little Vikings thought Greenland would always stay...Well green. As they celebrated the new century(1300), the Polar Express opened it's chattering gates-burying these poor Scandinavians under 20 feet of thick ice!

 As 1850 approached, the glaciers rapidly retreated. Leaving these frozen pirates suspended in peculiar places. A few have successful thawed out. However, they still need your help to rescue every last Viking.

 We've already rescued our first batch from a previous Episode. Now the Red Clan needs your desperate aid.

 A mouse is more then sufficient to do the dirty work as most of this game will be centered around your pointing-and-clicking acquisition. Timing is not as important(at least to begin with). What do you know, the rocks might give you a hand now and then.

 After 500 years of rigor Mortis, these little red heads are dying to stretch their limbs and warm-up next to a great big bond fire! You are their only hope for survival. Don't let mother nature thaw these cridders out or else they'll never find their way back home.


Stay tuned for the threequel to The Icebreaker Series!
