Kind of an aside, but Titan Quest is a good diablo clone as well. LAN Co-op is a lot of fun. Titan Quest Gold (Titan Quest + Expansion) is on for $9.99, I wouldn't hesitate to pick it up for that price. Easily 30 hours for one playthrough.

Oh and thank you to my Secret Santa for gifting me Torchlight.

Titan quest sucks like no one's business.  THQ couldn't make a decent Diablo clone if their lives depended on it.

Torchlight is a blast though.  It's easily worth the price.

To each his own. I'd recommend it (especially with Immortal Throne) so long as you have someone to co-op with. I quite enjoyed my playthroughs on LAN, but i know a few Diablo fans who apparantly like yourself hate it. Oh well.

It's weird.  Most of the people I know who like it, didn't play Diablo 2.   However most everyone I know that played D2 dislikes it.  There's just something missing from it.

 

Yeah I played Diablo 2 (and still have my D2 & LoD boxes somewhere) but Titan Quest has some things I would of loved in D2 like an easy way to portal (portal spell, no scrolls needed), way more class combinations (primary & secondary skill set ; lots of possibilites within each tech tree), and a more balanced rune/artifact system. By being more visually impressive than Diablo 2, it has some pretty outstanding visuals and sound effects. Crossing the Great Wall of China gives you a feeling of scale not possible in Diablo 2. Every element of the enivronment (music, scenery, enemies..) comes to together to make something convincing. The world is linear but sprawling, with lots of possiblities for finding little nooks and places with new quest opportunities, vendors, and NPCs.  It's one of the few Diablo clones that makes looting great like actual Diablo. Picking up rare items remind you of how great it is to play a game with an addicting loot system that makes improvements and additions where needed.

Looking forward to trying Torchlight though.
