Yahtzee makes some good points, and he can be pretty funny while doing it, but I've disagreed with him in the past. For one, I don't think Half-Life 2, Portal, and Psychonauts are the greatest games ever made. Torchlight is a love it or hate it game. It's Diablo: Enhanced basically. If you loved Diablo, you'll love Torchlight. I for one am loving my Fanged Vladmir's Epic Sharpscrap Handgonne of Venom. If you didn't like the point and click dungeon crawler, then you won't like Torchlight. I never finished Diablo 2, which I should, but the enhancements Torchlight made to the Diablo formula are fantastic. I love the introduction of the melee and ranged weapon gameplay. A battle axe in one hand, a pistol in the other, and the ability to switch between two weapon sets at a time is handy. The pet is also a fun addition, yes it can bring goods back to town, but you can also equip it with healing spells, elemental spells, amulets which increase the rate at which you find gold or magic items. All around, I say it's a fun game, and a bargain. I bought it from Runic at $20 and I've never felt cheated, and I didn't just buy it as a hold over for Diablo 3, I bought it because after playing the demo I realized it was fucking fun.
