    3DnGaming has posted a review of the expansion pack to Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. The reviewer gives it an overall character of 7.0.

    There's nothing remarkable about Throne of Bhaal. This is the fourth time around, and the sparkle and shine is starting to wear. The original game had a sort of whimsical gee-whiz charm. It was a first for anyone of my generation or for anyone who missed out on the gold box series that Bioware liberally borrows from. That charm has since then worn off.

    Many people have credited Bioware for reviving the RPG genre. Certainly, it's better than what we had back in 1995. Remember Descent to Undermountain? How about Yoda's Desktop Adventures? Bioware deserves praise for reviving the genre, which has since progressed leaps and bounds. Throne of Bhaal concludes the Baldur's Gate series with the dignity it deserves. Now if only they'd release a patch to increase the resolution options of the original BG...
