Story:Experience the dramatic intensity of the frontlines of a war through the eyes of the first of a new breed of super soldiers in this gritty and epic first-person action game. An augmented super-soldier must stop a renegade regime from eradicating the civilized world.
Hong Kong, 2065. 2nd Lt. Nathan Frost is just a regular grunt in an international army called the Liberty Coalition. When he takes massive injuries from an explosion on the battlefield, Frost undergoes an experimental procedure. The outcome of the surgery is something more than human; a transformation that makes him a unique weapons-grade warrior, with abilities that far surpass those of the average soldier.
Empowered with these extra-normal abilities via implanted augmentations, Frost is immediately sent to the frontlines of a war as a secret weapon against the destructive regime. Stranded in hostile territory, cut off from command and far outnumbered, Frost and a handful of men must try and stop the entire renegade militia's plan threatening to plunge the world into darkness.Show more

An extremely underrated game it seems. Please upvote this game. Please play this game. Why? Because there exist games where the developers offered a feature rarely seen anywhere else or since - this is one such game.
This game was released around the same time as Deus Ex 2: Invisible War.
What makes this game so special, and my favorite memories of it, were the vast number of gameplay options. Weapons have secondary fire modes. There are multiple augmentations with various useful effects. There are multiple ways to approach combat.
When many of the well-known games restrict the player to only two weapons, maybe a grenade, and even more rarely a utility item, Project: Snowblind gives you variety and options. This is what makes it fun.
Some games you play for the challenge, some games you play to be the best and the fastest. But if you want to have fun, if you want to find new and creative ways to approach a combat situation - Project: Snowblind is your playground. Please preserve and play this game. And let's hope many more developers approach gameplay in a similar way.
Fun Fact: This game is supposed to be the third Deus Ex game, but I think that the developers decided to do something different with the franchise. I would love to play this one though because it sounds good.
Really underrated shotgun in this that sends soldiers flying backwards into walls and has an alt-fire that turns each pellet into a sticky bomb. Really underrated grenade that sends a cyber spider out that aids you in combat. Great stuff.

In the ensuing chaos, Tony sneaks to the front of the mansion, barely alive, and manages to escape in his car. Sosa is then informed that Tony's mansion has been seized and his massive drug empire has been reduced to nothing.
