I don't know what a good price point would be. I picked it up for $5 during a Steam sale... hard to be that.

That is also an example of a good game I avoided due to Starforce.

This would be sweet...I would probably rebuy it if they brought it out on 360.

Very much so.
To make the process as easy as possible, am open and shameless ripoff of WoWMatrix was made by the mod community. Just grab that and you have a list of practically all of the mods, complete with user ratings.

I had to get the mod that grants you an item to permanently morphology your pet into a Charizard.

They're very open about their inspiration, at least. It's a setup that works very well...why try to fix it when it's not broken?

Yeah, Torchleech is pretty much required to play TL. But I don't think the huge Chinese Folklore mod is there. It's on the Runic Games forums though, shouldn't be hard to find.

Bleh here it is

Thank,s I'll try out Torchleech. Back in the day, Wowmatrix was amazing, until they shut it down.

My god, seriously? Those are absolutely favourite games of mine! I played all 4 of those to death, maxing out almost every character in each game and hassling every friend of mine who's ever shown interest in gaming, even accidentally, in to sitting down with me and grabbing l00tz.

I even bought a multitap and extra controllers just for the Champions games.

Damn, now I'm looking forward to an XBLA version of Torchlight even more.

It's not nearly as deep as the four I mentioned, and it lacks a bit of variety, but it's a very fun game in the same vein. As a downloadable title it would be a blast.

I have to recommend it for PC, if at all possible for you, because of the mods. I've been messing with Torchleech and it has me back into the game after a long layoff. I bought the game for $20 and I've easily gotten 150 hours out of it at this point, with more to come now that I have easy mod access (I'm lazy, and Torchleech centralizes many of the mods for me. ). I'd buy it on a console if that was my only avenue, however, but keep in mind it's not nearly as deep as those four other titles. The content (enemies, environments) becomes a bit repetitive after a while.

Great fun, however. Now I have a hankering to get my BD: DA out and give 'er a go again; by far my favorite style of game, above all else. There's something about the third-person loot collecting action RPG that hits the sweet spot for me.
