Torchlight was developed by Runic Games, which consists of members from development teams such as Mythos and Flagship Studios. Torchlight went on to serve as a basis for their MMORPG, which will be released sometime in 2011. Runic’s first game drew many comparisons to Diablo, in terms of the overall feel and action RPG elements. With the inexpensive price of $20, could this introduction to the world of Torchlight gain interest for the MMORPG set to release in 2011?

Quarter 4 of 2009 was overflowing the amount of quality games or big name brands, making it understandable for a game like Dragon Age: Origins to slip by the unnoticed.  Like myself, many people were hesitant to invest their money into Dragon Age: Origins, but with everyone speaking so highly about it, word of mouth still proves to be the best way to advertise.  Can this spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate still have appeal to gamers even though its core gameplay is similar to old school PC RPGs?
