Titan Quest

Titan Quest by IRONLORE has “got my purr up in a tiff.” This game promises to have it all, including a sleek and user friendly editor. Titan Quest (TQ) reminds one of Diablo/Diablo II but with a makeover. In fact, the designers were huge Diablo fans and have tried to replicate the fast paced and frequent reward driven system. Simply saying this is Diablo with a makeover is unfair as it looks like TQ is steeped in mythology, has thousands of randomly generated items, a what-you-see-is-what-they-drop loot system, free online play, dynamic rag doll physics, more skill trees than a vine, and randomly generated maps. Did I mention the editor? The thick cultural environments are set in ancient Greece, Egypt, and China. They look yummy. It’s a beautiful game. WoW left me hungry for a reward system that provided more trinkets for your time. I may never play another MMORPG simply based on the ridiculous amount of time it takes to build and refine a high level character, all the while paying a monthly fee. TQ is incorporating the most enjoyable aspects of the old with new ideas. This is the game I’m waiting for. Until June I’m hardly playing at all (write, write, write) so TQ will act as my reward. Go check out the videos and screenshots at IGN if you want a good idea what TQ will offer.
