Everybody knows it. The gaming community knows it, I know it, you know it, and even the Iron Lore rep that demoed Titan Quest for me knows it: there has not been a great dungeon crawler like Diablo IIÃ¢Â€Â”since Diablo II.

Sad, but extremely accurate. The demo of Titan's Quest was very fun, but what made Diablo II so great was the items. Magicals, Rares, Uniques, Sets, Socketed, Gems, Runewords... good lord did Diablo II have items, and lots of them.

I hope Iron Lore realizes this and attempts to do the same.

Alone In The Dark sounds potentially cool. I wonder if it will have any replay value though, being just a bunch of episodes. Like, can you finish the game and play through again with some unlocked feature, like in Resident Evil? Also the blinking doesn't sound like such a good idea.

Also, does anybody know if there has been any Armed Assault news yet?
