Any CRPG player will tell you that there are a few games over the years that have distinguished themselves more than any others. Developed by Bioware, Baldur's Gate managed to revive a dying breed of game genre and breathe a deep breath of fresh air into its lungs. With deep character creation and a gigantic story with more side quests than you could shake a very big stick at, this one has already secured a place in the annals of computer role playing game history.

'Baldur's Gate' is a role-playing game that uses the rule set of Advanced Dungeons & Dragon (AD&D). You create your hero by choosing one of the available classes (fighter, thief, mage, priest, ranger, and druid, including sub-classes, dual- and multi-class characters), his (or her) alignment, weapon proficiency etc. For the combat system, a special engine called Infinity Engine is used: the battles are turn-based, but are so fast-paced that the player has an illusion of fighting in real time. You can pause the battle at any time and assign commands (such a spells) to your party members. You can also freely move them around during battles. Set in the universe of Forgotten Realms, 'Baldur's Gate' is the first part of the saga that lets you explore various towns and wilderness, undertake many side-quest, and find companions for your long journey.

Tales of the Sword Coast is an expansion pack for Baldur's Gate, featuring new areas, monsters, items, and a more challenging final confrontation.
