    X-treme Gaming Radio has posted another review of Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter. The review comes to the same conclusions we've heard before - a good expansion with great visuals, but overpriced. It's worth checking out, however, for the 19 screenshots, including screens showing new weapons and new spells. Here's the final verdict:

    HOW amounts to basically a side quest if you play it during IWD. If you play it after, HOW extends the life of your IWD install by about 15 hours, since it really doesn't contain many side quests of its own. If I know Interplay, they will eventually release a combined box containing the original IWD and also this addon. For those of you who haven't played IWD, that would be my suggestion.

    For the rest of you, I'd say wait for the price to come down from the MSRP of $40, or if you can find it cheaper now, then go for it. HOW isn't very long, but there are some nice surprises and philosophical concerns in there. It's a good addon that could keep you busy until the Baldur's Gate 2 addon comes out.
