Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle

Baldur's Gate

Robert D. Anderson and the Legacy of Cthulhu

Neverwinter Nights 2 (CD-ROM)

An ambitious project, obviously and sadly unfinished.

I consider Baldur's gate I & II, fallout I & II, Arcanum and Planescape, my favourite isometric RPGs. At this list you must add KOTOR, which I didn't like at first, but is now among the games I love the most. The... Read Full Review

Prince of Qin

The most under-rated gem, ever.

This is NOT a diablo clone. This is NOT a Baldur's clone either. POQ is a really original and entertaining game. Moreover, it's one of the extremely rare action-RPGs that really deserves to be called a Role-Playing-Game.... Read Full Review

Unreal II: The Awakening

*LOOKS GREAT! SOUNDS OKAY. PLAYS AVERAGE...*<br /> A pleasant but not so exciting shooter.

As a single player experience, Unreal II is not up to par with its predecessor which was terribly involving. Graphically, it is definitely a great achievement for a game of this generation. But neither the story nor the ... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Game of the Year Edition

I like Morrowind so much, I always come back to playing it. Even after Oblivion, it's still the best of the series.

It has been such a relief, after the disappointment that Oblivion has been to me, to set up Morrowind again on my Hard-Drive. And to go back to this place that, though still full of surprises, sometimes I feel like calli... Read Full Review

Venetica

Venetica is a great RPG/ACTION/ADVENTURE game lead by a well written story.

I have got the feeling that the gap is widening between European and American gamers. Especially concerning PC role-playing games. While in the US people seem to ask for more and more visually stunning and violent games... Read Full Review

Space Rangers 2: Dominators

*NOT EXACTLY A RPG... BUT A DARN GOOD GAME ANYWAY!*<br /> At last a space strategy game that won't make RPGist yawn to

I have always wanted to like space-strategy games. And tried quite a few of them! But every time, from Imperium Galactica to Master of Orion series, or more recently Sword of the Stars, I inevitably ended bored, frustrat... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Weak RPG, rather an action/adventure/shooter game. A dumbed down Elder Scrolls aiming at the largest audience's wallet.

If you are not a RPG player, and you enjoy action and console games, you will certainly love this game. But please, don't misunderstand Oblivion for a real Role-Playing game. I have read comments like &quot;greatest RPG ... Read Full Review

Dungeon Siege

Can't stop playing it, though it's propably the more repetitive game I have ever loaded on my hard-drive.

This game is so smooth, so easy to play, so polished, that you could use it as screen-saver. When surrounded by many foes, if your team is well balanced an equipped, you REALLY can leave the game and come back a few minu... Read Full Review

Silent Hill 2: Director's Cut

A thousand living deads are less dire to face than a single loving dead.

I have been haunted by Silent Hill 2 for many days. And now that the game is finished I feel like I am back from a far away trip, or rather from the depth of a long fever. Emotionally, it's a success. The story strike... Read Full Review

Circle of Blood

&quot;Old school fun&quot;... or... &quot;Talent doesn't need a 3D card&quot;

I am surprised, and quite glad, to notice from the reviews on this page that I am not alone to play 10 years old PC games (my god, 10 years old games! Ain't we weiiiird!) Circle of Blood is full of humour and charm. T... Read Full Review

Gothic 3

* "GOTHIC III, I LOVE YOU... BUT YOU'RE A B1TCH!" *

Gothic III is like a woman who irritates you until the point you want to break up, but who in the last minute knows how to coax you into staying with her. I LOVE YOU when swarming orcs fall around me in an epic comba... Read Full Review

Kult: Heretic Kingdoms

Good surprise: This game is very enjoyable, and offers a lot more than you may assume at first look.

Yes, this kind of isometric RPG looks old at first sight. But the 3D characters on the 2D background blend rather well, and great attention has been given to details. I must admit that during the first hour of this game,... Read Full Review

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

The talented and gothic little brother of Deus Ex.

I feel so sorry for Tro&iuml;ka, a sacrificed company who had the genius of crafting Arcanum and this excellent Bloodlines. Those guys are real artists and deserve a place in the pantheon of pixelised RPGs creators. W... Read Full Review

Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra

*MORE THAN A CURIOSITY*<br /> Might & magic III is a delighting game to play, even in the 21th century.

The Might & Magic series has been revolutionized with the software 3D rendering mode of Might & Magic VI. But there is a life, before MM6! If you have played MM6 and later games of the series, you will be surprised to no... Read Full Review

The Temple of Elemental Evil

* BE SMART, OR BE DEAD! *<br /> A real challenge, and a great learning tool.

Temple of Elemental Evil is a slow paced and delightful RPG focused on the strategic aspect of Dungeon & Dragon. The story is rather bland, and fighting is what makes it shine. If you don't like turn based combat, slowly... Read Full Review

Titan Quest

* BRINGS BACK THE DIABLO THRILL *<br /> A beautiful, smooth and addicting experience.

Ten years ago Diablo was a revelation. I played it endlessly. But the enjoyment of running-around/clicking/collecting-items finally died. The action-rpg of this kind has became, for me at least, synonym of boredom. Diabl... Read Full Review

Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror

Fun, smart humour, nice characters and cool puzzles. Very enjoyable cartoonish game.

Gameplay, humour, and graphics, also the puzzles, are very similar to the first game of the series. You still deplore the fact that Nico and Georges seem unable to run and slowly walk from one point to another. Developer... Read Full Review

Daemonica

An(other) unfair review from gamespot, as often for games that don't have an &quot;hollywood&quot; feeling about them.

&quot;All substance, no flash&quot; The time when gamespot reviewers really loved computer games has gone for long. You can't get a good review any more, if the budget of the company that crafted the game is not up t... Read Full Review

Deus Ex

A milestone in history of computer gaming.

Seven years after its release, Deus Ex is still a terribly exciting mix of action, RPG, science fiction and suspense. The story in which you are deeply involved is compelling. The gameplay is a perfect blend of action an... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

As for a good vintage wine, time has been good with KOTOR. I have come to play and appreciate this game... A lot!

I have just edited and deleted my old negative review of this game, written three years ago. At the time, I rated KOTOR as low as 5.8. Mainly because of its consolish feeling, the rigid inventory system, and the story I... Read Full Review
