Great game, first one to get the feel of Batman right.

I agree with youy, but it's the underground pc gaming world that's triving. The big sellers are still the Modern Warfares, Assassin creeds, and so on.

BUt yeah, on a whole i have to thank you for making me re-discover gaming, an easy way to get games without ovewrpaying them and discover a lot of marvelous gems i wouldnt have known if i didnt follow your reccomendations.

and I don't really care for it.

B) Torchlight is amazing. I started playing with it to enjoy a simnple Diablo clone but it's so incredibly pleasant and delicious! And it also goes at an insane speed, qhich is refreshing for an RPG. On par with King's Bounty, also another joyous RPG (although with a completely different style)

checking out king's bounty, it looks pretty great.

i'm having trouble walking away from my Torchlight gaming sessions. I get all these plans in my head to do a million things and have to talk myself down and try to get some work done/do things in real life.

Very true, and it's amusing that the huge games (more accurately, the publishers of huge games) are showing open contempt for the format they look (and usually play) best on thanks to money. I think the next few years will be interesting as the gap widens. It's a great time for small(er), underground and old games on the format. Which reminds me, I have a txt file full of things to try that I should get to.

Aw thanks man, always happy to evangelise about gaming; the best possible thing to hear is someone finding a game they never would have heard of and loving it.

King's Bounty is beautiful, funny and surprisingly deep - I can't recommend it enough. I played it though most of the marathon podcast while listening in.

Torchlight really hits that Diablo 'just one more room' note. I can lose hours without noticing after just going in to finish off a quest. I kinda want a dog in Diablo 3.

I'm not really enjoying the game play.
I can't even pin point it really, but something about *zap* *clunk* zap* *clunk*, go to this room *zap* *clunk* *shoot*...it's a little boring...

The game concept is interesting, and the suspense is fun...but I dunno playing feels a bit dull.

I'm gonna play it a few more times, but at the moment I'm not really a fan.

Fucking havok helis are fucking giving me a fucking hard time. WTF?

Ah you mean the combat, only one plasmid so far? It gets a lot of fun when you're deciding which plasmids and tonics to use and combining them in new ways and switching between weapons and ammo types. Of course, the main draw of Bioshock is the atmosphere, the intelligent story that's organically delivered and Rapture itself but the sheer amount of variables in the combat makes it fun.
