My review/thoughts on the Dark Alliance Games can be found in this ol' topic from when I played them:

They don't really deserve the Baldurs Gate moniker if you ask me, but they're fine for multiplayer action nonetheless.

EDIT:
Uhh, sorry Luvian, but last time I checked the name "Baldurs Gate" just happened to be titles of two of the most successful and widely acclaimed cRPGS of all time. Thus it seems a little futile to attempt to reduce the meaning or association of the name to 'just a town'. Sure, this is just my own subjective opinion to value the two words in such a way. But I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the Dark Alliance games fell well short of the benchmark of the PC games and so too, the name Baldurs Gate by association alone.
