_Varyag_ says: When people tell you about the “living and breathing” world in their fancy new game you’ll just smile. Gothic did it first. And better too.

_Varyag_ says: Equal parts good and buggy. Still, this is technology and magic like you've never seen them before. And admit it, you've never seen orcs pilot a fighter plane.

_Varyag_ says: Rougher than the sequel but if your keyboard survives the mutilations of the steep learning curve - fun awaits.

_Varyag_ says: On its own, NWN was a poor offering - a toolbox shipped with a pretty average campaign. However the addition of expansion packs and user made mods extended its lifespan significantly. Its DnD without tactics. Take that as you will.

_Varyag_ says: TOEE, in its patched and more or less bug free state serves to scratch the same itch as Icewind Dale. Its a story light, combat oriented dungeon crawl with the best DnD 3.5 implementation ever. But no more than that.

_Varyag_ says: A pure Diablo clone with a surprising amount of world interactivity and depth. Personally I found it a much more enjoyable experience than Diablo 2.

_Varyag_ says: The final Infinity Engine game, while polished and well made - is a bit dull. Still, fans of the original are bound to like it - its really more of the same. 3.5 Stars.

_Varyag_ says: A decent action rpg, which tries some ambitious ideas - a narrative spanning two distinct time periods and a love story (rare in games). Degenerates somewhat towards the end, and the action isn't as balanced as it should be - but it can be fun.

_Varyag_ says: Another Diablo clone. While its not bad by any means, its not an outstanding game either. Played it in its original bug ridden state and that soured my experience quite a bit.
