    One of the Best Diablo-Likes Out There

    So, chances are you have played a game like Torchlight II, as the game itself is very iteraitve of the tried-and-true Diablo formula. If that is the case, when why in the world would you play Torchlight II?

    Simple: Torchlight II has streamlined the experience. It takes a lot of the annoying/boring things about the genre, and either eliminates it or makes it less time consuming. Inventory full? Slap it on your pet and sent it town. Out of potions or identifying scrolls? Your pet can pick them up for you while selling your stuff. The fact that your town portals go away get you down? You portals stay up indefinately and are accessable via waypoint portals. Sick of making suicidal corpse runs everytime you die? Not in this game, you can either respawn right where you were (for a lot of gold), at the beginning of the dungeon (for some gold) or at the nearest town (for free).

    If you don't point-and-click, hack-and-lash loot games, Torchlight II isn't going to turn that opinion around. However, if you have liked any Diablo-like game, give Torchlight II a try.

The combat is overtly simple, as a lot of the time you just mash the mouse keys and two or three keys on your keypad, if the situation really calls for it. Taking the boredom out of the repetition is where Torc...

      Torchlight II Review 0

      It's been a while since I've wanted to sink so much time into a hack and slash game, but just as the original Torchlight did, this one was no exception. I actually felt like this was a more polished version of the first. You once again have to go out into the world and save it from the Alchemist who has been corrupted and is trying to open up a portal of pure evil. You'll have to slay many beasts and monsters, but if you're brave enough and strong enough you will see that you are just what the ...
