This Shockwave title from Monsterland Web Games takes place in a snow-covered town where the main character has had his snow-racer stolen by the local snow bullies. The only way to get it back is to gather your friends and form a snow flinging legion the likes of which have not been seen since the great Canadian moose war of 1896.

This game plays like a simplified RTS game. You click on the people you w ant to control, click where you want to walk, or click on who you want to attack. So simple, it’s almost brilliant.

The graphics are all done in 3D with a stylized look fitting for any animated Christmas movie. The environments are a bit plain, but what else can you expect for a game that takes place in snow.

The sound effects are a bit cartoony, much like the art, and keeps the game feeling lighthearted. There is no music so if you are anal about having music in a game I suggest you open up winamp and make your own soundtrack.

The characters you encounter have varying attacks such as straight-up snowball hurling and larger snow-shovel attacks. You can find powerups that make your attacks more effective, and health pickups to keep you alive for whatever trick the snow bullies have around the corner.

I did find that this game was kind of slow to start, but once I started recruiting more friends it got a lot more interesting. Given the season, you should definitely give this a go.
