    It sounds cool, and I have the demo downloaded. I don't want to sound like a graphics snob though, but it looks like WoW which would be a constant irritant to me. I like dungeon crawlers, but being spaces you spend so much time in, the aesthetic is more important than most games to me. Ragnarok looked great. The Dungeon Siege and Untold Legends games looked just fine. I think Diablo 1 looks better than Torchlight though... if there were a community texture pack that might be enough. #torchlight

    @fuchikoma: A bunch of mods are already playing around with the graphics. If it's not your cup of tea, wait a while. The mod community just got the tool a few days ago, and already, about a 100 mods have been released. :) #torchlight

    @fuchikoma: Got to admit the graphical style and lack of character choice (I only watched a gameplay trailer but there was only 3 classes on it) turned me away from it. I'm currently just going through D2 itself rather than a weaker imitation. I wonder if there's anything that separates it and makes it more interesting though. #torchlight

    I just downloaded the demo of this yesterday. Haven't had a chance to play it yet.

    the 20 dollar price tag is a good selling point. #torchlight

    @NerD: Blattella: Played it for about 12 hours so far, and pretty close to competing the main quest. But there is an infinite dungeon I believe, and they just released the dev tools. There are already more simple mods available too, that fix some issues people had with the game. #torchlight

    This game is awesome. Worth more then the $20 they are charging.

    The only issue is the lack of multi-player. However, they are working on a MMO version.

    My guess is that Torchlight is just a single player campaigned released to help fund the more ambitious MMO sequel.

    I can't wait for the MMO copy. #torchlight

    I'm anxious for the Mac version. I could play it via Boot Camp, like I have been doing with Dragon Age, but I always prefer running games natively. #torchlight

    @superberg: Natively? Why not just fire it up in Windows? Its not like you're using an Intel Core2Duo w/ special apple instruction sets on a apple created chipset.

    Or if you -must- use OSX, install Wine? #torchlight

    @pokerkick: I'm running on an Early '08 MacBook Pro. 2.5 GHz C2D, 4 GB RAM, 8600 w/ 512 MB RAM. It runs mostly-smooth at 1440x900, low detail with no AA, high quality textures.

    I haven't tried running at higher detail at that res, now that I think about it. That was the default setting. I've dropped the res and increased the detail, and that ran smoothly. I don't know which I prefer better.

    @Zelyre: Because if I wanted to run Windows full-time, I wouldn't have bought a Mac? Wine doesn't officially support most new games right away, especially ones that are harder on the system. Before Dragon Age, I mostly just played Audiosurf and Portal via VMWare Fusion.

    Besides, by buying the Mac version, I would be throwing more support behind my platform of choice. If I want more OS X games, I have to pay for them, right? #torchlight

    Well if it comes to retail, that means you'll find it selling for cheap real fast (in the UK at least).

    I mean Trine is currently selling for the PC retail at £6.50 I think on play or was it gameplay. One of those sites.

    This game is fun (tried it on a friends laptop), but I'll probably get it once I'm done with at least 4 more games I bought recently. #torchlight

    I played this at IndieCade over the weekend. The game is pretty unique, and the developers were obviously very passionate about their work. It's great that they'll have the opportunity for more success at retail stores.

    All I remember hearing about this game is that the mechanics were cool, but graphics and story/progression were lame. Am I wrong?

    @Bannana Stand CEO: The graphics were pretty nifty, actually. But yeah, it's not a game known for it's strong story. It's certainly interesting, but it's really all about the punchy-punchy.
