A puzzle-filled haunted mansion, built by Stauf, who heckles you on your journey. It was difficult getting it to run on
Windows XP, but I’m happy I did. It’s
great reliving a classic. And no, I
still can’t beat the microscope puzzle! |
A continuation of the Stauf
horrors, in which a new plot thickens.
A reporter decides to investigate disappearances and their link to
this mansion. The rest is history. |

Enter the Forgotten Realms and play as a fighter, cleric,
mage, druid, etc. Learn and cast spells
at your foes. Find up to five
teammates to blast away the enemy forces.
To this day, I love this game.
The expansion, Tales of Sword Coast, is an excellent addition with new
adventures for the team. |
Your main character journeys south to Amn
but they are ambushed and separated.
Pulling the pieces back together with all the intrigue makes this a

interactions between the other characters on your team. The expansion, Throne of Bhaal, did not expand the game as much as I would have
liked, though it certainly brought things to a dramatic end. |

I found this to be a fun challenge that dove into the
realm of alchemy, a personal favorite.
I enjoyed the puzzles, the visuals, and the overall story. This was a well-done piece. |

My first MMORPG. I
enjoy it quite a bit. I decided to
dive in because this one has no monthly fee. I must admit, though, that I haven’t fully
embraced the whole online gaming phenomenon. I am ever reluctant to join up with
strangers for quests. I’ve had good
experiences when I’ve done it, but I still keep hesitating. It would be some much more fun to team up with
friends and go into battle. Still, the
story is good. I like the graphics,
though the spells are not very detailed visually. My Elementalist/Mesmer
