It's very hard to describe the Nancy Drew series of games as "average." On the whole, Her Interactive releases consistent quality and writing. So if in describing Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek as a "below-average" Nancy Drew title, know that it is still far better than many games out there.
The story is very familiar in the context of the series. Nancy is called to the Icicle Creek Lodge in Alberta, Canada. It is being threatened by a dangerous saboteur, who most recently caused an explosion on the grounds. Naturally, there are a number of characters who may want to wreak havok on the lodge. And if that wasn't enough, people are reporting sightings of a white wolf nearby. Does this wolf have anything to do with the calamities facing Icicle Creek Lodge? Nancy's job is, of course, to go undercover, meet the people there, and snoop, snoop, snoop.
Online video game retailer Amazon has released it's digital games deals of the week.
The Burning Hot Bundle is actually a better deal than on Steam. For less than the price of Burnout, you get The Ultimate Box AND Need for Speed Hot Pursuit!

Nancy Drew The White Wolf of Icicle Creek has hit the Nintendo Wii courtesy of SEGA, and has been enjoying some success since its launch back in December 2008.
This release brings us the teenage detective Nancy Drew as she has to go out into the cold and the elements to the Canadian Rockies.
Honest Gamers writes: "Nancy Drew has too much time on her hands; she's ready to take on any mystery at a moment's notice. This time, the young sleuth is headed to the Great White North, where a series of escalating accidents has struck Icicle Creek Lodge. Some guests suffered food poisoning, one fell down the stairs, and most of the staff fled in fear. No one has been seriously injured yet, but an explosion lights up the sky just as Nancy arrives at the remote location. In The White Wolf of Icicle Creek, you have to lead the seasoned detective through a series of arcane brainteasers. Only after the puzzles are solved will the person behind the crimes be revealed".
