Torchlight didn't have co-op on PC either.

Oh, ok. Well then why were people bitching about the lack of it on Kotaku and Joystiq?

Because people find a way to bitch about everything, I guess. Runic Games has been developing Torchlight 2 since the first game was released with the main purpose being to add co-op. They're also developing a free-to-play MMO with microtransactions.

So Torchlight is a full control action hack & slash game, right? With quests and looting?

It's not one of those point your mouse and have the character walk in that direct game is it?

I thought Plants vs. Zombies was $20

You may be correct sir.

On PC, you did click and hold down where you wanted your character to go. I imagine the 360 will have full analog control though.

There are both quests and looting. An insane amount of loot.

Ok, so most people already know that Hard Corps: Uprising came out last week. And if you listed to podcast 4 then you know I don't think highly of it and it's over priced.

This week is Bejeweled Blitz which I really don't care about. There is a free premium theme available for download though.

I believe next week is Beyond Good & Evil which I definitely am looking forward to.

Hard Corps.........I played the demo. Meh....nothing special. I would buy it for $5.00

My thoughts exactly. If they have some sale during the Summer on these House Party titles, like they had several months after Summer of Arcade titles then I will get it for $5. But nothing more than that.

Watching the Giant Bomb quick look of it (after JayDiz mentioned it) is quite entertaining. They shit all over it. What's even more entertaining is reading some of the comments. Some people are just clueless. I read one where the guy said something like "Awesome! I've been waiting for an old school shooter like this. I just added it to my download queue. Can't wait to play it when I get home." Uh, did you watch the video at all?

Ok, I'm confused. I just checked the dashboard and BG&E isn't coming out until March 9th. Torchlight comes out March 16th and the poker games comes out March 23rd. That's all of the House Party games from what I remember and I didn't see any other games mentioned. So what comes out next week? Are they taking a break so the "party" doesn't get out of control?

House Party - Xbox.com


According to xbox.com BG&E is next week, March 2nd. I guess the dates on the dashboard all jacked up.
