@lostn: I have not finished the first yet, but it has a lot of replay value with character direction and companions etc, but I was very pleasantly surprised on how strategic it is and the great voice actors which contribute to a good atmosphere. Highly recommend it.
@gamingdevil800: They got enhanced editions out now too so I recommend grabbing those, though the source code for Icewind Dale 2 was lost so they couldn't bring out an enhanced version of that *sad face*
