By rights this review should have been finished at the end of last year because I'd already been playing Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn for several weeks. I did consider zapping out a review but I'm glad I didn't because I would never have done the...read the complete Baldurs Gate II: Shadows of Amn review at Quandary
For the last several weeks my life has been on hold. I can’t exactly pinpoint my most recent shower. Last Tuesday maybe. I have forgotten to eat. My living room has a smell.

For all the oft-touted powers of the PC, I say it still cannot hold a candle to a good old stylus-and-parchment D&D gaming session.

In such an imperfect gaming world, I think I can honestly say I am ill prepared to handle a game of unerring quality.

When I first got my hands on the original Baldur's Gate, back in 1998, I must admit I was completely overtaken by it.

Fortunately, I managed to use this time-consuming...read the complete Baldurs Gate II: Shadows of Amn review at ActionTrip
Baldur's Gate II uses the same Infinity Engine that the original, Planescape: Torment, and Icewind Dale used.

Ok, so this is my first review, so please don't bash it too hard, ok? And if you find faults in my spelling or grammar it is due to the fact that I do not have English as a native language.

It’s getting positively nutty just how much game time developers are squeezing into RPGs these days.
