So Torchlight made it to my "to play now" list, with so many games coming out that is about how far behind I am on releases. 
 
Diablo clone would be an understatement. This is practically Diablo re-skinned. Seriously. With a few minor adjustments, granted.  I tried the caster character first - probably not a good idea, because the the ranged fighting is extremely frustrating. The camera follows your movement to the STEP, which is an issue I had with Diablo. Be absolutely sure you click on the mob you are targeting, otherwise you are going to be running past it. And there is no targeting reticle of any kind, besides a faint red highlight on the mob your mouse is on, and with all the damage spam crowding the screen for the dps junkies, it isn't that helpful and makes it even less visible.  In addition to the furstrating targeting, the line of sight mechanics for ranged spells are even more maddening. The path of your projectiles can literally be obstructed by a tiny rise in a suspension bridge. Also, your character could be standing at the edge of a bridge facing a flat room, and with your mouse targeting directly strait ahead, your ranged spells will hit the sides of the bridge.  I really should fraps a video of it, because it is quite hilarious.  
 
The music is outstanding! Eerie, haunting, beautiful and epic. The ambiance and lighting of the environments was extremely well done. I am growing tired of the cartoon texturing, but I was still impressed nonetheless. 
  
For 19 bucks, I would probably just say to go grab diablo II and play it through again. 
 
Thanks for reading!

For me, Bioshock, during the Medical Pavilion stage, when you turn around after listening to that recorded message in the back of the operating room or whatever;  after the recording is done,  you turn around and one of them is their staring at you with a hacksaw. Made me jump, and  I had to pause the game to get my heartrate back down.

What is with all the hate in this forum? I mean I know every community has its share of a-holes but dayum!

" DEAR GIANT BOMB COMMUNITY I PLAY VIDEO GAMES THEREFORE I AM BAD WITH WOMEN PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS SIMPLE PROBLEM  ASKING AN INTERNET FORUM FOR ADVICE ABOUT WOMEN CANNOT POSSIBLY GO WRONG "

I am confused, can you Power Point this please?

 (does anyone ever target anything but the head? Least satisfying RPG combat mechanic I've ever used)   

I am waaayy too ADD to play-through in one sitting, even if the game is incredible. I can get about 50% of the way on a game like that, though. 
 
I remember many nights when I was a kid, when my best friend and I would make these pseudo pacts to beat X game before dawn. I don't remember if we finished it but we got pretty close with FF1, and Link to the Past.

" @Wunder_:  I agree, and perhaps this issue will never come up, but the way I see it, it only takes one hybrid build that could potentially work in PvP or whatever for the system to have failed. Freedom is just always the way to go in my book. "

" Fallout New Vegas, without a doubt.  This will be common consensus, this is right. "
