    So today I had a brief flashback of my even more brief Diablo II Days. But I remember I had fun. So i went on a search to see what I can get, and of course, the Torchlight I had forgotten about was brought up. It’s 15$ either way you look at it, but I don’t know if I should get PC or XBLA.

    PC Benefits
    Probably will Go on steam sale at some point
    Can play immediately (my xbox is still at school)

    PC Cons
    Have a habit of forgetting games exist.
    Kills battery.

    360 Pros
    Chievos!
    Familiar control scheme

    360 Cons
    Can’t have until I go back to school in a week +
    Probably will get pushed behind other games i wanna play

    Not Buying Pros:
    don’t spend $15

    I was really annoyed at the uneven framerate on the XBLA version whenever things would get to hectic. Which they did quite often for me. 
    The  PC version also has mods, so yeah... the PC version is probably the better choice.

    Definitely play it on PC, especially if you enjoyed Diablo 2. I can only imagine how sore your thumb would get having to hit X to attack over and over again, versus the ability to left click infinitely with your pointer finger.

    never played it on the PC, but I love being able to sit in my easy chair.  The chair I play computer games in makes me sit up entirely too straight.  I'm impressed with how they transferred the keyboard and mouse interface to a  Xbox 360 controller.is a nice reprieve from other Xbox games

    The PC version has those, and A LOT more than 12.
