    Well, it's been at least a few days since the last one, so here you go. In this review Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter earns four and a half stars from MPOG.

    Since Heart of Winter is an expansion pack, and not a full-fledged game in its own right, there isn't too much to elaborate on in terms of plot or storyline. Without unnecessarily spoiling any of the details for those who haven't yet played it, Heart of Winter basically adds five extra areas (in a variety of forlorn settings, including islands of ice!) for RPG addicts to explore. It is up to your party of adventurers to try to stop a magically-enraged Barbarian from wrecking havoc upon the Ten Towns (the area in the Forgotten Realms where Icewind Dale takes place). While these areas are indeed fun to explore, it's basically more of the same. That said, if you immensely enjoyed Icewind Dale, then you should definitely get a kick out of Heart of Winter. If you're expecting something awe-inspiring and revolutionary from the new areas (other than a few new monsters, spells, and skills typically found in all expansion packs), you'll be slightly disappointed.
