Remember Diablo? |

I'm sure you do. And Diablo II. Great games. But Blizzard probably won't have a Diablo III out for like, 8 more years, since that's how long it usually takes them to make games (especially ones that haven't been announced yet).
So what can you do?
You can play Titan Quest, that's what!
I know the game came out in 2006, so it's already over a year old. But apparently it flew under the radar of most people, and didn't get a lot of attention.
But it's chock full of an interesting storyline and tons of ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology, which is something that I'm really a fan of personally. And the gameplay is easy to pick up and fun to experiment with, considering all the different class specializations and skill tree progressions you can make (9 Skill trees, allowing you to choose 2, and the combination of these trees determines your class).
I've put in over 20 hours of gameplay, and I've only finished the first act of five, on the easiest difficulty (of three). Just like Diablo, the enemies are harder, but the loot is better and the experience higher the harder the difficulty. And you can play the same character in single or multiplayer, and move back and forth, which is pretty cool.
And it also has a custom map editor (as you can see from the video) and a lot of mod supporting, which I haven't even touched yet.
The best thing about it? Only $20 on Steam for Gold edition. This gets you both the original Titan Quest, and the expansion pack Immortal Throne. Just play through the game via the Immortal Throne executable, because it has a lot of bug fixes added in and enhanced features that make the game a lot more fun to play. BUY IT IF YOU ENJOYED DIABLO, you won't regret it!
So yeah. This has been my good deed to Gamingforce for the first quarter of 2008. Don't say I never did anything for you guys~
