Baldur's Gate

Review: Baldurs Gate is such an impressive game that I have yet to come up with one adjective to sum it up, so I'll have to use several. A few that come to mind are: addicting, engrossing and huge.

You Begin in the Candlekeep Inn and all is not...

Review: Okay, I did like this game. I played it a lot. I yelled at it when party members died, insulted it when I (shh) did something stupid, and cheered when my party emerged intact from deadly situations. But I went into the game with a good idea of what...

Review: I have been playing computer games for years - especially fantasy RPG's. Simply put, Baldur's Gate is one of the best I've ever seen. It provides an open, realistic world in which you decide where to go and what to do next, but still allows you to...

Review: Baldurs gate is a dream come true for all of you old school AD&D fanatics. It encompasses a rich story line with dozens of sub-plots and outstanding graphics while remaining true to the original game rules. Lots of towns and areas with NPCs to...

The Bottom Line: It's neat, but will steal your life away, leaving only a dim memory of sunlight in its wake.

Review: Although Baldur's Gate is easily the funkiest RPG computer game I've ever played (this is admittedly not too hard as it's a genre that I generally sneer at, with only Ultima Underworld 2 and Ultima 8: Pagan breaking my embargo), I must warn you...

Review: hard core RPG fans have been aching for something real for a long time. Fallout was a good sop for a genre that was lacking anything. And then Baldur's Gate came out. It had all the things a hard core RPG fan wanted, stats, gold, lots of weapons,...

Review: It is rare that I find time to play computer games these days, but when I do there is nothing I enjoy more than immersing myself in a good RPG. When I purchased Baldour's Gate I was hoping just to have interest in the game for a week or so. I was...
