Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

This is again, something many must have heard of. This is D&D brought to the PC through the infinity engine. Simple as that. Lots of story-telling, good lore, good NPCs and the basic D&D rules (AD&D in this case).

For a long time, these titles were lost to us modern PC owners. Finally, Overhaul Games came up with the idea to remake them and make them playable again, woo-hoo! This is why I recommend the Enhanced Edition, as it actually works on Windows 7 and beyond. It also gives some neat new additions that are love-or-hate.

Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark

Again, it's D&D (3rd edition) on the PC...except not with the infinity engine. I have to be honest in saying that any D&D game outside the infinity engine just fails - except this one. This one is incredible. Bioware took extra care to make everything flow seamlessly and you really feel it. They also put great effort into the characters and the story of this one too. I found myself quickly attached to what was going on.

If you're getting this, grab the expansions because they really do make a huge difference.
