| | Icewind Dale for PC Review - PC Icewind Dale Review |
| | Icewind Dale is self-consciously similar to Baldur's Gate: Both games take place in the Forgotten Realms, and Icewind Dale recycles not only Baldur's Gate's engine but also a good deal of the older game's graphics. | | | The game's isometric perspective is identical to that in Baldur's Gate, but the view angle isn't as close to the characters as in the more recent Planescape: Torment, which also used BioWare's Infinity engine. | | | The game is suitably long, but the best part is that there's virtually never a dull moment: Each area in the game is exciting to explore, like the city nestled in the warmth of a huge life-giving oak, or the frozen subterranean aquarium. |

| | Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal Developer Profile: Kevin Martens |
| | The original game, the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion pack and the sequel, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, all gained tremendous critical acclaim. | | | My obsession with computer games began when I picked up Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord for the Apple II computer system. | | | I got into the gaming industry as a Writer/Designer at BioWare in 1998, to work on Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast. |

| | Baldur's Gate series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Baldur's Gate is a popular series of computer role-playing games that take place on Faerûn, the main continent from Dungeons and Dragons's Forgotten Realms campaign setting, set in the years following the cataclysmic Time of Troubles (1358 DR). | | | Baldur's Gate has also been often compared to Diablo, perhaps for similarities in dungeon-crawling and the isometric view, but is much more story driven and less hack and slash. | | | Although they take place in the Baldur's Gate rendition of the Forgotten Realms setting, they are not often regarded as a part of the Baldur's Gate series, as the plot is unrelated to previous games, and they were console-exclusive titles - never released for Windows and Macintosh as the original games in the series were. |

| | Planescape: Torment is a better game than last year's winner, Baldur's Gate, for it addresses the deficiencies of Baldur's Gate by adding many gameplay elements from Fallout, our winner in 1997. | | | Indeed, if this game has a fault, it would be that its gameplay consists mainly of reading. | | | After years of being pronounced dead, the role-playing game continues to thrive and branch out in new directions. |

| | Computer game purchase advice needed |
| | Baldur's Gate, Planescape torment, Arcanum and Neverwinter Nights all are overall fun, well-balanced games, and are special in that they have quests and storylines that don't *always focus on violence*. | | | ADOM is an awesome rogue-like game, and a must play. | | | It is a very playable game, depending on the audience. |

| | Article - D&D - DND // PC /// Eurogamer |
| | Role playing games are undergoing something of a resurgence at the moment, with single player games like Planescape Torment and Baldur's Gate making the charts, and online worlds like Everquest and Asheron's Call bringing a whole new audience to RPGs. | | | When you first start the game you choose which Class your character will be - fighter, mage, priest and thief are the most common choices, with minor additions and variations from game to game. | | | The point is that most of these games are now twenty to thirty years old, and were originally intended for a small group of players sitting together in a room with a bunch of manuals, paper character sheets, and a big bag full of dice. |

| | DnD PC and Videogames |
| | The first game to feature Bioware's Infinity engine, Baldur's Gate is a great game that introduces us to the more prominent locations in the Sword Coast. | | | The single player game has a pretty lame storyline, the way the feats have to be constantly re-executed really stops the flow of gameplay, and the game doesn't have the same magic as earlier Bioware games. | | | Including some epic abilities and amazingly powerful weapons (and of course enemies) Throne of Bhaal, on top of being a great game, is worth a look for anyone who's a little confused about how an Epic campaign should be run. |
