I've installed this yesterday and already reached lvl 22. I play single, offline so Diablo 3 wasn't an option for me. Torchlight 2 is better than the first in the sense you have more diversity in the world, outside more often than dungeon, but like the first, I would have liked a cleaner, less crowded look to the textures and less blocky characters. Best part is the fishing/shapeshifting and the pet going to town to sell the loot, so I don't have to leave the current location I'm fighting in.

Torchlight's supposed to look a bit blocky, though. That's the art style - it's exaggerated and cartoonish.

I tried the demo and gave up. Might get it when it's 75% off but the "boob armour" (and other bizarre armours) really put me off.

I beat Batman. Great game, there were dozens of hours of content left when I stopped playing after beating the main storyline. That was a game made with love. The overall plot definitely had its flaws, but the final scene was excellent and even had a great quote that I think shows a lot of understanding of Joker by the writers. Great job and there is plenty left for a sequel.

I'm playing Journey right now, and while I found Flower (by the same company) to be engaging and enjoyable, Journey seems slow and lonely. Not sure I'm going to keep playing after beating the first two levels.

Can you let me know what quote you are referring to? I beat the game but do not even recall the ending now. Your comment has intrigued me though.

From what I have read, it is a good game to play with another person, even random.

<spoilers below>

The Joker stabs Batman in an attempt to grab the antidote and it falls to the floor and breaks. As the Joker lays there dying, Batman says "You know what's funny? I would have given you the serum, even after all you've done." Even as he lays dying in agony, Joker chuckles and says "Actually, that IS kind of funny" and then exhales his last breath. What a psycho!

I'm back on Gran Turismo again for a bit. Man, if there is a more awesome car to drive than the Ford GT, I'd like to know what it is. That car is nothing but fun. The acceleration is unreal and the handling is awesome.

Finally on the Sky Rim bandwagon! I am not sure how favourably I will view only being able to see my two hands though. I really am old school and prefer a whole person. However hurling a ball of fire was immensely satisfying. Learned a valuable lesson early - don't try to pickpocket the guy who lead you to freedom and saved your life. He kicked my ass.

Currently playing Xcom, which is great fun. Getting tired of the repetitiveness of it so, I may try my hand at Forza Horizon, but assassin's creed is out tomorrow so who knows. Lots of other games I have yet to open and explore. Dishonered is also starting to call out to me.

Pretty sure you should be able to "zoom out" to a third person camera.

I thought having Mark Hamill sing "Only You" over the end credits was one of the greatest Batman/Joker moments in entertainment history! The last hour and a half or so of that main storyline was so intense. What a great couple of games, Rocksteady has my vote for all times for making them.

Glad to hear a good review of Xcom, I'm looking forward to that one!

You were right! It worked. Wow this game is massive. It is a little overwhelming. At the rate I get to play games it should take me about 20 years to finish Sky Rim.

Ok I just "beat" Gran Turismo, meaning that I got a gold trophy in the Gran Turismo World Championship series of races. The prize? A Bugatti Veyron. I just found out that there is a more awesome car to drive than a Fort GT. The Veyron is unbelieveable. I got it up above 200mph and if SHIFTED at 203!

**Daddy Darth** · November 6th, 2012, 06:54 AM

I am hooked on Sky Rim. OMG - awesome!

**phil_geo** · November 7th, 2012, 10:23 AM

Has anyone played Darksiders II? I can't get past the fact that you are playing DEATH himself, yet you are playing as a beginning noob with no abilities whatsoever. It is ridiculous that Death would be collecting gold so he can buy a better sword from a vendor, or that he gets excited that he found some hard leather greaves that are better than the cloth greaves he was wearing. And he has to climb and jump around to collect pages of a book that he can sell to a vendor??? So stupid. If they had just not made you Death, and instead a person chosen by Death to investigate the plotline, it would have been ok. The game itself is good but I just can't get past that.
