These are awsome if you like zombie movies and games like Left 4 Dead. Welcome back Jenn, always like to read your writing :)

I'm so glad Runic picked up the original Diablo/Diablo2 devs. Granted, I felt that Diablo2 was completely ruined by the art style, spending too much time above ground, (and I really held a grudge against them for socketing.), but Torchlight just feels right. That, and it's quite a bit longer (with the interesting ancestry aspect to make it even longer) than Diablo was. For many years, I played ET:QW (clocking some 650+ hours). Personally, I think this is still one of the more fun multiplayer games out there. Not only does it force you to work together as a team to accomplish a goal, but the maps are so well laid out that is offers exceptional replayability. I'm a little miffed with Id/Splash Damage for abandoning it so early on in it's life cycle, and not releasing any more campaigns for it. Such a pity to see such an amazing game go to waste. I'm happy to see such a resurgence in classic games. Games that you and I grew up on, but the younger generation has never heard of, let alone played. (Would you believe that I was playing Super Mario Bros on the Wii the other day, and some teenager came up to me and asked me what I was playing? I didn't think it was possible to NOT know your roots like that! ...and when I asked him what *his* favorite game was, he said Counter Strike: Source... it was horribly tragic.) I hope we see, in the near future, some classic games (Warcraft 1 & 2, Diablo, Starcraft, and a *slew* of others remade with modern graphics, yet not changing gameplay a bit. It's a pipe dream, but a beautiful one.) Long live retro gaming! :) --HaDAk I’m loving Torchlight!

If they could sort out the lag issues the various modes might be kinda fun. Hopefully Sega All-Star racing won't disappoint. Battlefield Bad Company 2 is looking very promising on the modern shooter front. Again lag could kill it, like the release of Battlefield 2. Always up for Borderlands, just name the time and place.

I knew you would do a great job, and you did. I hope you can write up more detailed thoughts on RoN later. We really didn't have time to get into your general opinion on it. I do think we should play against each other some time soon. I really hope you can join us again some time later. I know that strategy games are a little out of your comfort zone, but you're an amazing panelist. Go Canada! Tom and I were thrilled to have you on the show, Jenn.
