The Armchair Empire has thrown up a review on BioWare's NeverWinter Nights expansion pack, Hordes of the Underdark. Walking away with a final score of 9/10, this might be one to check out! Snip:

On the technology side, HOTU is a slight improvement over the earlier installments. The texture packages have improved; the overall image is sharper; the animation seems smoother. Bioware has expanded the functionality of the user-controlled camera, allowing players to pretty much get any view on the action they could possibly want. This is a bit unnecessary since most of the viewpoints are impractical, but it is still nice to be able to look around while in pause mode. On the downside technology-wise, I suffered a number of lockups on both test systems.
