1. Icewind Dale -- Baldur's Gate
   Plot and Quests: Icewind Dale's plot is basic; uninspiring, extremely linear, but well-paced and fun. More like something your high school dungeonmaster would have come up with than anything reminiscent of the Baldur's Gate series, but there are worse things in life.
2. Dungeon Crawl
   Dungeon Crawl is a brand-new quest add-on for Baldur's Gate 2, featuring a dangerous journey through a new set of areas in search of a well-guarded treasure. Two rival factions are already on the trail and you just happen to stumble into the middle of their dispute. Can you survive the quest and learn the secret of Lord Leoncourt's chest?
3. Dark -- Dark Alliance
   Set in the Forgotten Realms world, the most popular Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II will use the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules set. Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II will feature more monsters, graphically stunning environments and five new and unique customizable player characters to choose from, hidden areas to explore, as well as a new item creation system that will allow players to create their own ultimate magical artifacts.

4. Icewind Dale -- Games
   Icewind Dale is everything you would ever want in a computer game. It is set in Salvatores setting of Icewind Dale. However, rather than just copy his setting, it expands, in fact has nothing to do with what has come before. They boldly venture onto new heights!

7. Icewind Dale -- Icewind Dale Ii
   Graphically, Icewind Dale is on par with other efforts from Black Isle. Its graphics engine isn't as advanced as that of Baldur's Gate II, but it makes up for it in style. The icy cliffs and dark dungeons are effectively rendered, providing a nice feel to the game. The characters themselves don't look as good as their surroundings, but not to the point that it detracts from the game. The sound effects greatly enhance the visuals, as does the music...although the queues did get fairly repetitive. The music kicks in nicely when you're about to be attacked, but it doesn't slow back down immediately after the battle.
8. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
