Pros: Many new skills and a new class. Great new areas and monsters. Exciting series climax.
Cons: The characters are STILL annoying. Well.. to me anyway.

Baldur's Gate must go down as the game which inspired one of the most disappointing expansion packs of all time. Tales of the Sword Coast as it was called, felt more like a "director's cut" of the original game, with additional bits...

Pros: great story, one of the best expansions ever, builds off of old story well
Cons: extremely challenging,

In the world of sequel games, it is easy to get bored or unamused by future incantations of the same product. Some games, I wish, would just die. However, to be honest, in this series, I am actually sad to Baldur's gate go. I actually felt loss at the ...

Pros: continues and finishes the epic Baldur's Gate/Child of Bhaal saga;
Cons: none

Ok. I have to start off and say that I have played and loved everything Black Isle Studios has released...from its birth [Fallout 2] to this latest release [Throne of Bhaal]. Every time something new by them hits the market, it truly is an event in the...

About a year ago, after having returned 2 games already to Electronics Boutique due to them being horrible, I took a flyer on a game called "Baldur's Gate II".

I'd never played Dungeons and Dragons before, and the closest I'd ever been to an...

Pros: Brings to conclusion a Bhallspawn's story of discovery.
Cons: Need a fast machine.

The good folks at Black Isle Studios have done it again, They have added to the original story in such a way that you can't help but be hooked.

The story of your character, who just happens to be the son of the God of Murder among many...

Pros: Challenging to characters that are already highly advanced
Cons: Large amounts of animation may slow down machines

As I have stated in other reviews, I'm a die-hard RPG fan, having played just about every major RPG out there. I have loved the Baldur's Gate series (and everything else based on the Infinity engine) and I knew that this purchase was a sound...

Pros: More of the BG series
Cons: The end of the BG series

Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhall is a very well done expansion pack. It extends gameplay by 15-50 hours, depending on the party you play with and your gaming style. It nicely improves the Shadows of Amn interface; in particular it allows you to press...
