For all the other lost souls out there patiently awaiting the release of Diablo 3 (or even the long overdue Diablo 2 1.13 patch), I have a little something to tide you over and scratch that itch.

Torchlight, from the same people who made Diablo 1 and 2. It's Diablo play style at it's best, quick, clean and very well done. My only gripe is that it's a single player game.

You start the game with a pet (Cat or Dog), and these pets are great! They can carry just as much inventory as you can, use certain items, learn up to 2 spells to auto cast, and even run back to town to sell off your excess gear. You can also feed them fish to change them into different creatures with different abilities.

Also, once you've played out one character, you can "retire" it to give bonuses to the next characters you make. Plus there's no time wasted with the usual RPG grinding.

Only cost 20 bucks, and I highly reccomend it if you need a Diablo fix.
