The XBLA House Party starts next month and Torchlight is part of the lineup.  According to PR...

"Torchlight" (Runic Games Inc./Microsoft Corp.) E10+ (Everyone 10+) A highly regarded PC game with more than 800,000 units sold to date, "Torchlight" is now coming to Xbox LIVE. Combat is more exciting with revamped controls and mechanics, new armor and quests. There's even an exclusive new pet for your character. Send a select goodie or two to your friends on Xbox LIVE* to share the fun for the first time.    

Nice. Those Runic guys deserve all the sales they can get. They seem like cool dudes.

Nice one, however I've already played the shit out of the PC version, so I wont be buying it.

I'm just going to wait for Torchlight 2, but I hope that it'll sell well on XBLA. 

Sweet might pick it up. Still I played it a bunch on my Mac when Steam came to Mac so not sure. Still I love Torchlight so I hope it sells well.

I'll probably pick this up if only to support the Runic guys, and for real achievements!

I'll at least get the trial to see how it plays with a controller.

:D

That share the fun better mean co-op. If so new stuff is great.

Anyone else starting to get a little tired of Microsoft buying exclusivity on everything lately? This game was announced for both PSN and XBLA back in August and now it's an XBLA exclusive because Microsoft handed them a bunch of money and is publishing it.
 
I suppose I don't care too much as I've already played the PC version, but I was fully prepared to double dip for such an excellent game. Now I'll have to think twice before buying another Runic product as this is no way to treat your fans. Don't make any mention of a PSN version if there's a possibility it won't get released.

I don't see the appeal of this game. I love Diablo as much as the next guy, but this just seems like a cheap knockoff with a lame artstyle. Then again it will probably be the closses console owners will ever get to Diablo 3 :(

I don't know which is the bigger fool...  You don't know why it won't release on PSN for now. The world isn't black and white. It might have to do with Runic games putting more effort for now on the XBL version, not to miss out on the XBLA House Party event, could have to deal with PSN and XBL requirements (like the size of the game, fees,...), might be about intricacies of programming for each of the services, or because of Microsoft's direct support, or some other thing. You're hating what you don't know.   "

Very curious to see how this pans out. If it controls well I may get roped back in for the achievements. Plus it'll be fun to play on a 42" HDTV.

You have to see that these guys are part of the team that developed Diablo 1 and 2, and left almost in its entirety Blizzard.  You are wailing like Diablo 3 will be the shit, when in truth there isn't much to be optimistic about it. The art style and vibe of the game is completely different from what it were and the team developing it said that will imprint their own vision into Diablo 3. The only thing that assures some trust is the Blizzard trademark, but given Starcraft 2, I think that they were more acclaimed in the past.  "

Diablo 3 will be the shit. There is absolutely nothing I've seen of it that points otherwise.... "

If it's more than 400 points, it's overpriced. 
 
Not as a knock on the game, just more based on the fact that Steam has it on sale for 5bux every other week, it seems like.

I'm with you on this. Fuck Microsoft and their exclusive buying bullshit, the EU would tear them to pieces for anti-competitive asshole behaviour if they got the chance, similar to how I won't touch Intel or Nvidia or Creative Labs because of their crimiinal scumbag business practices it looks less and less likely I will ever buy an MS console. This is what your Gold subscription money is going towards people, fucking over gamers so a company with infinite funds can make even more money from you.

Getting this day one.

" This is what your Gold subscription money is going towards people, fucking over gamers so a company with infinite funds can make even more money from you."

Sweet! If Diablo doesn't get a console port: i'll just play this instead!

Really? Is this worth getting all bent out of shape over? Also Torchlight has been available on PC for over a year and doesn't require a monster PC to run. Should 360 owners be ranting and raving about not being able to play Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Infamous, or PSN exclusives? Is Sony  FUCKING them over too?  Elaborate.   Console exclusives are fact of life. "

Those are all games by first/second-party developers...

So you have no problem with buying the whole development company to get exclusive rights, but you take offense to buying exclusivity rights to a single title?  I don't see much of a difference between the two. "
