;D

That does it for me. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent tweaking BoBaFeTT or doing Cow Runs with that game.

That probably goes without saying. It looks just like Diablo and is developed by two ex-Blizzard employees who developed Diablo and Diablo II. However, millions of people did like Diablo quite a bit.

It also plays and feels like a cross between Diablo and Diablo II, some people even call it Diable 1.5. I picked TorchLight up during their new years sale and it was fun for a while, but didn't hold my attention long enough to finish the story. However, I don't regret my purchase because I still got several hours of enjoyment out of it and think it's definately worth $5.

The one recommendation I can give is to make sure to listen to the instructions about how anyone who's played Diablo should play on Hard mode because I first tried Normal mode and there was zero challenge.
