    Armchair Empire (9.5/10):

    I’ll admit to being a bit wary when I first opened Neverwinter Nights (NWN). The hype had become a big problem for me. Now, unlike some people, I don’t dismiss a game simply because it is being hyped heavily in the mainstream press. My problem with the NWN hype was that it mostly involved the game’s editing suite. So little was being said about the actual game that I became worried that the single player game was just a bonus for buying the marvelous, modular NN tool kit. Thankfully, soon after installing NWN on my hard drive, my niggling fears went directly away. Neverwinter Nights is a brilliant and highly polished RPG masterpiece, and I have never been so glad to be wrong.

    Planet Savage:

    Okay, so it has bugs, the graphics are a little dated, the AI leaves a little more to be desired, and the Official Campaign isn't at par with the epic feel of the Bhaalspawn saga in Baldur's Gate. So what? That goes for 99% of all the CRPG's that comes along, anyway. You don't like the campaign? Build one yourself.

    If you're looking for a Diablo clone, go away. This is definitely not a click-fest. If you're looking for Baldur's Gate 3, you're still out of luck. The Bhaalspawn saga is over, and the Infinity Engine will finally be retired after Icewind Dale 2. Neverwinter Nights actually combines the best aspects of these two games and then some. In order to truly appreciate the grandeur of this game, you have to play the game from all sides, as a player, a DM and a module builder, as BioWare would say it. You will never be able to accurately assess how good NWN is if you've only played it as one of the three. Take my word for it.

    Unknown Regions (50/60):

    Buy the game. Probably the coolest (or in fact, the opposite of cool, in that it's SO geeky it becomes amazingly cool) thing in CRPG ever. I'll be making my own campaign, and I'll be playing other people's campaigns. This is the CRPG that I'll be playing for some time, and if I'm at a LAN party, this will be the RPG I will play if we play RPG games.
