Time for a weekend gaming thread?

Well I played several games last night and for one reason or another, had a bloody awful session. Tonight, after all this Diablo talk, I've decided to try Torchlight which I bought on release but never really played. I've heard nothing but good stuff about it so I'm expecting a better gaming session tonight!

Torchlight was pretty good! Vibrant, attractive visuals, plenty of loot, a pet dog and lots of monsters to smite about the head and shoulders. I was hampered by Sticky Mouse Button Syndrome but I'll give it a good old clean tonight before the next session. Looks like I'll be just in time for the sequel when I finish this one, too.

I tried so hard to like Torchlight - but (again - I have said this before I think) RPGs (and hack and slash...is that what they're called?) just don't seem to be my cup of tea

My only real issue with Torchlight was that while the game was generally not that hard, the final boss battle...good lord! Seriously Huw, make sure you have about 20 minutes before you tackle the final boss.

Heh, noted! Thanks. I'm still enjoying it; it has a couple of niggling issues but what game doesn't? I can't imagine why I didn't bother playing it when I first bought it, it's a very solid game indeed.

Torchlight is good fun and has some unique classes.

I guess I'll have to take a look at Torchlight....eventually. I just installed Neverwinter Nights 2 Platinum edition, and I have Witcher 2 sitting unwrapped next to me...ugh. Plenty of great games, but nowhere near enough time to play them all!

Ha! I just installed NWN2 again today. I love Diablo 3, but I need to pace myself with it. Plus some buddies just got it so I'll have plenty of playing ahead for the next several months. I like NWN2 and it's been awhile since I've played through it. It'll give me two fixes. A good RPG and help curb the TT D&D cravings I've been having until I co-opt the kitchen table at night to roll some dice and talk to myself :D.
