Another Timesucking Automaton coming for PC

Which one you ask? Well, it's Torchlight 2 of course. The only direct Diablo III competitor, that will offer multiplayer goodness this time around, with LAN and Online play and solo gaming without online access needed.  Best of all, it'll only cost 20 bucks!

A look at Dragon Commander

Could this be the first RTS I'm gonna play in a long long time (think 15+ years) ???

Great interview and more after the break...
