I really enjoyed it. I only beat it once but I plan on going back through all the difficulties eventually. I love looting games, though, so maybe I'm biased.

I've never gotten into Diablo or Torchlight simply because I hate the click to move games... similar to Dragon Age.
If you like games that make you feel like it's work to do anything, than Diablo 2 and 3 are your games. I'm SUPER biased because I LOVED 2 when I was in college, but I can't fuckin' stand 3 (the classes and their skills are all *** as fuck). I hated Torchlight because it was too silly and Torchlight 2 seems just more of the same (though I haven't played it).
I would definitely recommend checking out some of the indie games on Steam as QUITE a few of them don't have console ports and can be bought for cheap like:
Binding of Issac (GREAT rogue-like indie game)
VVVVVV (AWESOME platformer)
Terraria (2d Minecraft, but WAY better since it's more about combat and less about just fuckin' around)
Then you have some PC only games that are just fuckin' fantastic, like:
Team Fortress 2 (AMAZING free FPS)
Civilization 5 (awesome with the expansion, but if you're never played Civ games before, you can play without the expansion and have no idea that you're missing anything)
Shogun 2: Total War (my favorite of the Total War franchise - really fun RTS)
Guild Wars 2 is REALLY great, but it gets old quick (coming from someone that HATES normal MMOs but played GW2 for something in the neighborhood of 200 - 300 hours in the first 2 months but hasn't touched it in nearly a month now).
32" monitor is here (love newegg one day shipping) and as expected it's overkill, but I love it. I'll probably end up re-arranging my desk because now my body doesn't block the light from the window behind me anymore. Overall though, so far seemingly no strain on the eyes or anything.
I bet the HD porn is amazing.
PC game suggestions...
Crysis
DayZ (Arma 2: Combined Operations)
Black Mesa Source (free mod)
Metro 2033
Team Fortress
Binding of Isaac
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
Vessel
Bastion (on consoles I believe)
Braid (on consoles I believe)
As well, pretty much any console game is that much better on PC through mods or even just natively.
Witcher 2 if you haven't played it on 360. It's fantastic. As G said, Bastion and Binding of Isaac are both really good(I played Bastion on 360).
I just bought torchlight 2 and haven't fired it up yet(outside of the demo) The click to move system is taking me sometime to get use to.
I love click to move games. I don't know what it is, but if it's click to move and it has loot, I'll love it.
I do, though as of a few years ago that wasn't nearly as true. You could build cheaper than a Dell, sure, but a boutique shop like Voodoo or Falcon could give my own build a run for it's money, especially when you consider labor and reliability.
True. I was both saying I could have G's PC and an enthusiast PC. If I wanted to, I could easily drop a lot of money on a PC. No point in an expensive paperweight though.
Yeah, I know. You love that joke :D And, like always, I decided to go with the straight man response ;)
Stealth Bastard Deluxe on Steam today

I feel like punching myself in the face for not getting Doom 3 BFG when it was on sale for $11 yesterday at Green Man Gaming. Idiot.
12/7 seems so far away right now. But at least it's a Friday so I'll be up all night setting shit up.
It really bums me out that Green Man Gaming isn't allowed to sell Far Cry 3 in the States and Amazon is selling a version that requires Ubi's client. I guess I'll have to buy from Steam.
How does Dishonored look on PC, G? I noticed you were playing it the other day.
Also, Alien Vs Predator is $4.99 today on GMG. Coupon code GMG25-G4VDR-0ZL4Q makes it $3.75.
Here's a video showing the difference (very little) in PC vs consoles, however the big ticket item is at 2:45 showing just how much faster PC load time is.

That definitely looks like a break your keyboard game.
I'm not sure, but yesterday on the Amazon product page it said that the Ubisoft client was required. Now it just says that you need to have a UPlay account.
Played the demo of Torchlight 2 last night. Wow, I guess I have to buy it now and actually play it. Damn.
(sigh) I was going to but Steam is freakin' down again.
I actually enjoy torchlight 2 now that I have given it more time. Played about 40 min last night, its simple and addicting and after awhile I didnt realize I was clicking to move (only when I was clicking to move when I was actually clicking to attack someone).
I bought it and I never got my email with the link to the Steam codes. :( I emailed their support and haven't gotten anything back yet either. Disappointing.
I bought it at work so I couldn't just install them after I bought them as I was counting on the email to supply the link to the code page again. The humble bundle guys figured it out and sent me an email with the link. Not sure how it happened, but I never got the email before, but it's thankfully fixed.
Spec Ops the Line will be $5 at some point today through Amazon. Activates on Steam.
Oh shit. Gonna have to jump on that one.
