42. The Witcher (PC)
At a time when everyone was "dumbing-down" RPGs to appeal to the masses, along came relatively unknown CDProjekt with The Witcher that showed there was still a market for core/traditional RPGs. The morally ambiguous fantasy world created by Andrzej Sapkowski lends itself well to the WRPG genre, giving the player a chance to experience the character of Geralt of Rivia. This is acheived through a range of tough but pivotal decisions, each with no true right or wrong answer and difficult to predict consequences. In a medium filled with flimsy good vs evil plotlines, this moral ambiguity made it stick out above other game in the genre.
