Game Characters in Snow
The UK is white, and so are our console heroes.Published 06/01/2010 at 18:15 by BioEye

Have you looked outside over the past few weeks? You may have noticed it’s a bit white in some places. What with all the fluffy weather, some gamers may by the smallest chance be teased away from their huge HDTVs and central heating to go outside and play in the sub-zero temperatures to make their 2D adventures a 3D (yet black-and-white) reality.
‘TheMethod’ on the Official EU PlayStation Forum posted photos yesterday of their Sackboy creations in the snow. It was so good in fact that Media Molecule have since posted it on their blog, and the Community Manager on the EU Forum threw a copy of Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time, and a t-shirt at them to encourage them back into the warmth.
So I went on a little hunt to find some snowy games characters over the last years from various people and came back with 3 others. They are Master Chief (2007), Pyramid Head (2008), Sonic the Hedgehog (2009) together with the new Sackboy (2010). Take a clicky about below. Perhaps you’ve been busy with the white stuff yourself? No not that. Or that either. If you’ve made anything interesting out of snow, post us a link. We’d love to see. Snow that is. Remember. Snow.

I like the pyramid head and Sackboy. Sonic however, looks like he’s put on a lot of weight.

I think the Sonic one was done by someone at Sega, lol.

Could be. And what the hell are those little creatures sitting behind him?

It’s by Yoshitaka Miura, Art Director of “Sonic and the Black Knight” on Wii.
And I think the others are just little snowmen.

I think they’re those little burds you had to catch in Sonic 3D

Ah, I loved that game on the PC. Was really fun though I now realise it was most probably crap.

Brilliant! Although Master Chief looks a tad too much like Metroid Prime, what with the massive shoulders.

Way too much time and patience. Having said that, I have been playing Trials HD recently and the Extreame tracks require exactly that!

Ha!
I made a snowman today, but it failed. Miserably.

That is because you fail. Miserable.
