    Torchlight is SP-only, NOX has some awesome multiplayer but I don't think any of it is co-op.

    NOX was. I don't know what they have now, I haven't played in years. I see one on ebay for 10 bucks new. The last time I checked they had deathmatch games and co-op levels to play. You could never play through the campaign co-op. The deathmatch games were a blast though, pure insanity becuase you had Wizards, Warriors and Beastmasters all running around on the same level trying to brain, blast and incinerate each other. Great fun and better then Diablo in that respect.

    I never understood why Diablo 2's PvP was more popular than that of NOX. NOX was superior in every way.

    I heard they were gonna make a MMO for the MP part of Torchlight once the SP game was released.

    Think the devs were talking about Torchlight 2 at the GDC as well, dunno if thatll be another SP campaign with the MP added or what.

    They wanted to make a Torchlight MMO which the company estimated would come out in 2 years. As Apu says, the devs were talking about Torchlight 2 just recently but no word on any details.

    With the major interest in Torchlight and Diablo 3 right around the corner, I don't see why these games are so few and far between. IMO they would be the easiest to develop. Not too much to design and the graphics are usually rudimentary.

    I think it comes in spurts. Back when D1 and @ were out I remember a whole bunch of similar games but half of them were pretty crappy or not well enough developed to pull people away from the bigger ones.
    If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

    Marketing..I never heard about NOX till 2005. By then EA had already closed all the servers and fired Westwood...so yeah no hope for a true sequel.

    Divine Divinity was another.
    It was good.
    Never played the 2nd one but it got some poor reviews.

    I've downloaded the demo for Torchlight.
    It is good.
    Love having a pet, it's a great idea.

    But i just can't get past the WoW graphics, total buzz kill.

    That's more in the style of Ice Wind Dale too much RP to call it a Hack and Slash.

    I liked both of the Divine Divinity games a lot.

    Sacred also counts.
