Torchlight 2 in Spring 2011!

Great news for Torchlight fans today as Runic Games announces Torchlight 2. Some of the highlights include: Multi-player, customizable characters, moddability, new UI, overworld areas, random dungeons, retirement system, pets and fishing.

Some of the great features will be returning, like pets and fishing. The overworld and random dungeon areas should add a lot of extra and unique content to the game.

If you're a RPG fan or fan of Diablo you should definitely check out Torchlight if you have not already done so. It is a fantastic single-player game.

The State of the Nintendo Virtual Console

I'm a huge fan of Nintendo's Virtual Console. In fact, it is the ONLY reason I ever wanted a Nintendo Wii in the first place. For the longest time, Nintendo had a huge, great and enthusiastic Virtual Console community but in recent months they have been trying to kill that community off. Not in an active sense but in a passive sense. They just rarely release any 'new' content for the VC and that has done enough damage.
