The XBLA House Party continues!

As detailed a couple of weeks back, the XBLA House Party promotion continues with:

Torchlight - 1200 MSP
Torchlight is an action-roleplaying game developed by the creators of popular games Diablo and FATE. Players will choose from among three character classes, and venture from the safety of the town of Torchlight into randomly generated dungeon levels, with a huge variety of creepy monsters, endless variations of loot to find, and quests to complete. Randomized levels and an 'endless dungeon' unlocked after completing the main game ensure a long-lived gameplay experience. http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/Torchlight/66acd00...

They did, but some of the creators of Diablo left Blizzard, hard to believe, I know, and formed the company that made Torchlight and made the world a happier place for loot whores.

Day 1 buy for me, even though I have it on Steam and played it way too much, love me some Torchlight. headspin

This looks good... however I'm strapped for cash right now and my backlog of games is around the 100 mark. So for me this will be a future DOTW purchase and If it doesn't go on DOTW then there's a low chance It'll ever be of priority for me to buy.

If you haven't tried it yet give The Last Remnant a shot. Tons better IMO than FFXIII

Hopefully the sequel is just a sequel and not their planned MMO in the Torchlight universe.
