160 video games that have snow in them
As the UK enters gridlock from the 'Beast from the East', we present the definitive A-Z of video game blizzards, avalanches and pixels who tried their best to look chilly
Bully
The real reason Rudolphs nose is red is because he keeps flying into buildings on account of him being completely cross-eyed.
Burnout 3: Takedown
This snow is made even cooler by the fact it's draped across what looks suspiciously like the three peaks of Big Mountain from SSX 3. No, we didn't notice at first either.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
Black Ice Opsidais-three, more like.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Soap's mum was adamant that he would wear the embarrassing new scarf she had knitted him. He had to get away.
Cannon Fodder
Don't let his endearing cherubic looks fool you. That snowman is a sleeper agent and in a minute he's going to blow the igloo sky high.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Gabriel gazed wistfully out across the frozen waters. The poignant truth hit him like an icicle to the heart. He was in a really, really boring screenshot.
Christmas NiGHTS
So... waking up at 12am, calling your mum and telling her it must be morning because there's light outside, only to be told it's a the streetlight and please, PLEASE go back to sleep? Fun game.

CJ's Elephant Antics
In cold weather an elephants trunk can shrink by up to 10%. The size of its ears, however, remains consistent.
Colin McRae Rally 2005
High gear, low speed. Textbook snow driving. Well he's got it half-right anyway. It's a start...
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
It was Christmas Eve, and that meant only one thing. The whole town rushed to the mountains for the traditional eating of the giant festive omelette.
Crash Bandicoot
The penguins were attacking, but Crash didn't mind. He knew he had a long and successful career ahead of him as a much-loved video game mascot, and life was good. Crash was an idiot.
Croc
Croc gazed happily at the shimmering facets of the crystal in front of him. He knew he had a long and successful career ahead of him as a much-loved video game mascot...
D2
Lauras left leg had been stuck in the snow for days, and now her right one had completely frozen up.
D4
The snow here is a thick as Detective Kaysen's CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM CHOOOOWDAAAAAAHHHH.
Dead or Alive 2
The real winner here is hypothermia.
Destiny
Imagine snowboarding down that! You'd die.
Devil's Third
The first two must have been dreadful.
Diablo 3
Click, click, click, click, click. SNOW. Click, click, click. Click, click, click, click, click.
Dirt 3
Not sure why 'dirt' takes precedent over the other surfaces in the game. Asphalt or Snow 3 works just as well, right?
Dirt Rally
Any snowballs here almost certainly have gravel in them.
