10. Neverwinter Nights
BioWare | Atari | 2002
An enormous single- and multi-player RPG that sucks you - and the small band of companions you acquire - into an epic and absorbing story
What made it so great?
The game's main campaign is a rich and epic story, but simply playing it through in single-player is only part of the fun. Neverwinter really comes into its own when you start to see how versatile it is: the whole campaign can be played cooperatively online with friends and the excellent editor that ships with the game has given rise to a huge number of user-made quests.
Grabbing the latest adventures from BioWare's own community site - or one of the many official campaigns they've put out since release - and bashing through them with a few friends provides hundreds of hours of entertainment long after the main quest is slain. Some multiplayer servers allow 72 players in a single game and even leave the game running to create a persistent world of sorts, MMORPG style. That's how flexible this game is and how much there is to see and do.
