Myst V: End of Ages

A decent game worthy of any Myst fan but too short and lacking the depth and character of previous games.

I am a great fan of the Myst series and have enjoyed all of the games in it. I enjoy games with depth of story, difficulty to tease the brain, attention to detail and of course, sexy graphics and technology. Myst V is ... Read Full Review

BioShock

A great game with fantastic graphics, gameplay and setting but missing the variety to make this game really rock.

There's no question that Bioshock is a very good game that would be enjoyed by RPGers and FPSers alike. The graphics and setting are simply amazing and completely immersive but the story is not very engaging and by the ... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords

A faithful follow up to the original and an excellent game worthy of any RPG fan.

For those of you who played the original KoTOR, you will find The Sith Lords to be a game that is nearly identical in its gameplay and style. For those who haven't, in brief, it is a third person adventure/RPG set in th... Read Full Review

Schizm II: Chameleon

A terrible successor to the previous game and one hardly worth playing.

I am a big fan of the adventure game genre and I really enjoyed playing the original Mysterious Journey (Schizm). I highly recommend that game to any hardcore adventure game fan (you must play the DVD version though). ... Read Full Review

Alice: Madness Returns

A really great game that hasn't gotten the attention it deserves.

I'm not generally a big action game fan preferring RPGs generally. But I play the occasional one, particularly those with high player reviews. Because of that, I played the original Alice game when it came out years ago ... Read Full Review

Myst IV Revelation

An incredible game that lives up to the memory and achievements of its predecessors.

This is an incredible game. I am a big fan of all four of the Myst games and of the Adventure genre in general. I have enjoyed each of the Myst games more than their predecessors and this time is no exception. Myst ... Read Full Review

Thief: Deadly Shadows

A worthy successor to the first Thief games.

I am a huge fan of the original Thief games. They rank near the top of my list of all time favorite games. As you can imagine, I was quite excited about Thief 3 coming out and was also very nervous but hopeful. Fortun... Read Full Review

System Shock 2

An awesome experience worth having

Simply put, this game is incredible. You wake up from a cryo-sleep on board a space craft somewhere out in deep space. You are alone and soon discover that something has gone terribly wrong on board and you have to fin... Read Full Review

Sacred

If you like an RPG with a good story and good quests, then you should forget about this game.

I should start off by saying that I am not generally a big fan of action-RPG games. I have never played Diablo because it never sounded like my kind of game. I am a big fan of adventure-RPGs like Planescape: Torment, B... Read Full Review

Arx Fatalis

Arx Fatalis is a good RPG that's got some interesting twists to it but an overall experience that's a bit hollow.

On the world of Arx, the sun has burned out and civilization has moved underground where the entire game takes place. It's a bit if a cliche, but you begin the game as a prisoner of goblins who has lost his memory. You... Read Full Review

Fable: The Lost Chapters

Fable is a good game for the RPGer who's looking for something to play.

Fable is an action role-playing game that can satisfy most RPG players but there's nothing particularly special about it although there are some interesting game play mechanics that add to the interest of the game. Fa... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

An interesting "adventure action" game that has some interesting appeal.

Prince of Persia is divided into two main types of gameplay. There's the combat sequences where you fight a battle with a bunch of monsters and there are the "adventure" sequences where you have to find your way out of ... Read Full Review

Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader

This game has uninteresting combat, significant flaws in the gameplay and is somewhat boring.

I have played almost all of Blask Isle's games and have loved most of them. Thus, I automatically put Lionheart on my preorder list and played it when I got it. What a disappointment. The combat in the game is rather ... Read Full Review

Myst III: Exile

Myst III is a worthy successor in the Myst series with stunning graphics and sound, but it's a bit short.

Myst III, while not perfect, is an awesome game. If you enjoyed the previous Myst games because of their unbelievable images, then Myst III will definitely satisfy you. Myst III continues with the tradition of relati... Read Full Review

Gothic

Gothic is a great game and is part of a series that I believe is better than the Elder Scrolls series.

I am a pretty hard-core RPG fan and enjoy games with a challenge and a good story. I started the Gothic series by playing Gothic II and decided to give Gothic a shot after having enjoyed G2 so much so this review will p... Read Full Review

Mass Effect

A really good game that's half great and half boring.

I enjoyed ME more than I expected but it shouldn't be a surprise seeing as how I am a fan of the Knights of the Old Republic games which are very similar to ME. There's a lot that's already been said about this game s... Read Full Review

Divine Divinity

Divine Divinity is definitely one of those surprisingly good games. It has all the good aspects of a well though out role playing game, including the ability to grow your character as you see fit over time, a detailed s... Read Full Review

Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal

A fun edition to the original game.

The Throne of Bhaal is a great follow on to the original Baldur's Gate II. I played it using the same characters I finished BGII with so I got to experience some continuity of characters across the two games. The story... Read Full Review

Thief: The Dark Project

I decided to play Thief was the first time in light of the upcoming Thief III release. I had played Thief II a few years ago and enjoyed it a great deal. I am rating this game for Thief Gold which is what I actually pl... Read Full Review

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn

Baldur's Gate II is an excellent game and a great sequel to the original. The game has a great story that is well interwoven into the game. Perhaps the biggest thing that stands out about the game is its sheer size. T... Read Full Review

Anachronox

One of the most interesting and amusing games ever written with great gameplay and a great story.

This game is one of my favorite games (second only to Planescape: Torment). I am a pretty hardcode RPG players to give you an idea of what I like. It's one of those really great games that few people know about. It's ... Read Full Review

Icewind Dale II

This game is a very solid successor to the original game (which I enjoyed a great deal). It terms of the style of the game as well as the engine and the interface, the game feels pretty much exactly like the first game.... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

I enjoyed this game more than I did the original game. It seemed to have a more complete and realistic feel to it. By far, the best element of this game are the graphics, especially the shadows. Wow! The shadows are ... Read Full Review

Syberia II

A worthy successor to Syberia.

This game is definitely a good follow up to the original game. The graphics are once again oustanding and breathtaking even if they are mostly cold and snowy in appearance. I'm also fairly amazed by the puzzles in th... Read Full Review

Gothic II

An excellent game for the hard-core role player but a bit of a rough ride for the casual gamer.

Gothic II is a game that will appeal very much to those of us out there serious about role playing games. In today's gaming market, it's difficult to find a game that can live up to the high standards many of us have bu... Read Full Review

The Temple of Elemental Evil

A good game that had the potential to be great but was pushed out the door before it was there.

If you are a fan of the CRPG genre, then this game is definitely worth playing if you can look past some of its obvious flaws. You should also be warned that some aspects of this game will really appeal to some and real... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

I think this is a relatively good game. It's very much an action game. I'm usually an RPG fan so I dinged the game on its linearity. The game leads you 'by the nose' from one place to the next without any option to ta... Read Full Review

Planescape: Torment

A standard by which all RPGs can be judged

This game is at the very top of my all-time favorite games list although I realize that it's a bit dated by now. Perhaps the best part of this game is the writing that went into not just the story, but every conversat... Read Full Review
