In Cold Blood
After the surprise success of both Broken Sword games on the PSOne, Revolution was commissioned directly by Sony to produce a game to be released initially on Playstation One. After creating two Broken Sword games back to back Revolution took the opportunity to take a whole new direction from all its previous games and produced In Cold Blood, a offbeat twist on the secret agent / James Bond theme. Despite mixed reviewed, ICB achieved considerable success and was even translated into Russian. Gamers both loved and loathed ICB, but viewed purely as an adventure game, with Revolution's hallmark storyline and characterisation, ICB has much to offer the adventure fan.

DREAMCATCHER'S IN COLD BLOOD FOR THE PLAYSTATION® HITS RETAIL SHELVES
July 13, 2000
In this game, players will need to be ready for some serious espionage, but don't worry, they'll be loaded...with gadgets, that is. This visually stunning action/adventure thriller gives players access to a plethora of James Bond-style gadgets. With nine missions and more than a hundred locations, players will encounter an abundance of non-stop action and suspense. Created by renowned British developer Revolution, In Cold Blood has explosive action (literally), an intriguing storyline, Hollywood-quality cinematics and addictive gameplay.

Storyline
Sometime in the near future, the United States of America and the People's Republic of China are on the verge of war--a new cold war that shows every sign of turning hot. Over-stretched by the Chinese crisis, the CIA requests assistance from MI6, the British Secret Service.
Enter John Cord, a special agent sent on an assignment that goes horribly wrong. What starts as a minor investigation leads to the discovery of a conspiracy that threatens to destabilize the global balance of power. Cord knows he was betrayed, but does not know by whom. And as he dreams, he tries to make sense of his predicament to determine what really happened. As agent Cord, the player shoots their way through a series of Cord's flashbacks grasping at clues and investigating all the evidence knowing that only one thing is certain - there is no one they can trust.

From uk.playstation.com:
In Cold Blood is an adventure set in the memory of MI6 agent John Cord. Captured and tortured by enemy agents, he is weak and fighting for his sanity. All he knows for sure is that he was betrayed - if only he could remember by whom or why. Your adventure begins as Cord tries to piece together the fragments of his memory. You must reconstruct the events that led to Cord's capture, and use the information to make sense of his current situationas he languishes in a cell somewhere behind enemy lines. But if you're going to help Cord, you'll have to start acting like an MI6 agent; think like one, fight like one; and above all, survive. Use stealth wherever possible to avoid raising the alarm.
You're no use to us dead.
