(REAL NAME)   
 
Plane Scape Torment (PC DVD)
1.  Plane Scape Torment (PC DVD) by Interplay
The list author says:
  "Perhaps the best RPG ever, with an extremely strong narrative. Not really combat oriented. Be sure to apply the latest mods from Spellhold Studios for the best experience. Play as a high WIS/INT mage."
£10.49   Used & New from: £5.98
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (26 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Star Wars: Jedi Knight & The Mysteries of the Sith (PC CD)
2.  Star Wars: Jedi Knight & The Mysteries of the Sith (PC CD) by Activision
The list author says:
  "Inventive level design. Great music. OK graphics. Difficult for a mostly non FPS player like me. Be sure to search for the high resolution models/texture pack mods online."
£15.98   Used & New from: £2.60
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Grand Theft Auto London (Sold Out Range)
3.  Grand Theft Auto London (Sold Out Range) by Take 2 Interactive
The list author says:
  "GTA London. Also needs original GTA.. Splendid game, lots of low complexity fun. Might not work under Vista/Windows 7 with some Nvidia cards/current drivers."
Used & New from: £0.01
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

The Longest Journey (PC DVD ROM)
4.  The Longest Journey (PC DVD ROM) by Xplosiv

  "Excellent adventure with decent puzzles, atmospheric and quite realistic world that makes you care about the character"
£19.95   Used & New from: £6.09
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (24 customer reviews)

Baldurs Gate 4-in-1 Compilation (PC DVD)
5.  Baldurs Gate 4-in-1 Compilation (PC DVD) by Interplay
The list author says:
  "The Baldurs Gate series wins through it's sheer scope rather than any other outstanding feature, but if you want a solid generic RPG with hundreds of hours play this is fantastic value for money."
£11.90   Used & New from: £7.40
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (27 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Broken Sword: Trilogy (PC DVD)
6.  Broken Sword: Trilogy (PC DVD) by Mastertronic Ltd
The list author says:
  "The main character is a little irritating occasionally, but this is a well implemented adventure that deserves your time."
£4.75   Used & New from: £2.79
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews) | 3 customer discussions

Quake II- Xplosiv Range
7.  Quake II- Xplosiv Range by Empire
The list author says:
  "Quake 2 is getting on a bit, but at the time was a compelling single and multiplayer FPS albeit lacking the complexity of games such as Jedi Knight"
Used & New from: £0.47
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Sanitarium
8.  Sanitarium 
The list author says:

Half-Life
9.  Half-Life by Sierra
The list author says:
  "To be honest, I'm not that far into this. However, it's widely seen as a classic, and the narrative and presentation of what I have played is excellent, so perhaps the reputation is deserved."
Used & New from: £4.99
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (37 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Morrowind Elder Scrolls 3: Game of the Year Edition (PC)
10.  Morrowind Elder Scrolls 3: Game of the Year Edition (PC) by Ubisoft
The list author says:
  "Stunningly complex and open world. Improved no end by some visual and signpost mods. Needs discipline to finish the main storyline instead of getting diverted by other quests!"
£18.98   Used & New from: £6.75
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (62 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions
