I still play SoulReaver. A nice mix of puzzles; a huge contiguous play  
area with integral shortcuts; lots of deviously hidden secrets that will  
help you play, but aren't necessary to collect; and an excellent  
story-line and plot. In ranking terms I put it on the same plinth as Deus  
Ex, System Shock and Baldur's Gate.

SoulReaver 2 was more of a let-down for me, too linear and a more obvious  
'get this ability to open this door' vibe then its predecessor; still had  
a good story though.

I enjoyed Blood Omen 1, and 2 was fun if disjointed

Defiance was a bit of a mixed bag for me, but it was enjoyable how the  
different timelines of the two characters linked up play-wise.
