 Cold War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cold War was the protracted geopolitical, ideological, and economic struggle that emerged after World War II between the global superpowers of the Soviet Union and the United States, supported by their alliance partners.
A major feature of the Cold War was the arms race between the member states of the Warsaw Pact and those of NATO.
The Origins of the Cold War are widely regarded to lie most directly within the immediate post-Second World War relations between the superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union in the years 1945- 1947, leading to the developed Cold War that endured until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

 cold war. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
From 1989 to 1991 the cold war came to an end with the opening of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of Communist party dictatorship in Eastern Europe, the reunification of Germany, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
During the cold war the general policy of the West toward the Communist states was to contain them (i.e., keep them within their current borders) with the hope that internal division, failure, or evolution might end their threat.
After the war the West felt threatened by the continued expansionist policy of the Soviet Union, and the traditional Russian fear of incursion from the West continued.

 Cold War
The Cold War was a period of East-West competition, tension, and conflict short of full-scale war, characterized by mutual perceptions of hostile intention between military-political alliances or blocs.
After the war, disputes between the Soviet Union and the Western democracies, particularly over the Soviet takeover of East European states, led Winston Churchill to warn in 1946 that an "iron curtain" was descending through the middle of Europe.
The Western democracies and the Soviet Union discussed the progress of World War II and the nature of the postwar settlement at conferences in Tehran (1943), Yalta (February 1945), and Potsdam (July-August 1945).

 Featuring Cold War Hands-On Preview at ActionTrip
Although I'm all for straightforward killing in a good old-fashioned manner, the game has a simple charm and a tightly charged, believable atmosphere and story that, while it may not be particularly original, keeps the game going with the help of neat, cartoon-like cut scenes.

Cold wars -- for instance, the war for control of North America between the British and French in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, or the nineteenth-century Anglo-Russian "Great Game" in Central Asia-- can continue for decades but historically have not drained the societies involved.
The Cold War dragged on -- expensive, sleepless, and, at its worst junctures, primed to produce new dangers that threatened to dwarf the World War II cataclysms that had brought it about in the first place.

 GameSpy: Cold War Review
Cold War also lets you play as another main character besides Carter towards the end, which would be fine except the game then hits you with unfair odds and cheap "gotcha" attacks.
Cold War might liberally borrow the stealth dynamics, the focus on gadgetry, and the moody lighting that the Splinter Cell franchise has made famous, but Cold War puts its own strong stamp on the formula.
After talking with Cold War's developers, it still isn't clear whether these problems were rooted in the game or still StarForce-related, but figuring out whom to point the finger at isn't much consolation when you have a game that doesn't work.

Yet while Cold War features some pretty impressive graphics and a decent story, the predictable enemies you'll face and the limited number of environments you'll visit prevent the game from being particularly exciting.
Cold War is a stealth action game that owes a debt to the popular Splinter Cell series, from which it borrows its third-person perspective, as well as its interface and many play mechanics.
Like most stealth games seem to do, Cold War suggests that violence should be a last resort, and yet lethal force turns out to be the simplest solution to most of the game's challenges (at least on the normal difficulty mode).
