I had this entire last week of work in which to stay home and play games, and it was absolutely wonderful. After beating Batman: Arkham Asylum earlier in the week, I moved onto Assassin's Creed 2. I'm about 20 hours in so far, and I still feel like I have another 20 hours to play. That game is simply incredible. I honestly have no idea why Jim Sterling gave it such a low review score. The more and more I play the game, the more I realize Jim was full of complete shit when he wrote that review. He must have had a huge fucking stick up his ass when he played the game or something.

I also picked up and started playing Torchlight this week. Now while that is also a great game, there is no mistaking that it is a complete Diablo rip off. Now I know it was made by the same guys from Blizzard who made the original smash hit, but still, you think they should have tried to make it less obvious. But no, its just DIABLO DIABLO DIALBO all up in your face. Oh well. I guess that's a good thing, because I loved Diablo, and I love Torchlight.

Well that's it from me for now. Let's get on with your weekend cblogs recaps.

Thanks for Topsausetoid Silver!
I'm considering revising my post and updating it considering the feedback I got, but I'm worried I might reach "Captain Obvious" levels of redundancy considering many of my thoughts were already covered in previous Rev Rants. What do you guys think?

Haha, can you imagine how miserable recapping today would have been if that had actually worked?

As good as Torchlight is, I would feel better if it had some sort of multiplayer. It was one of the many reasons why I loved playing Diablo, killing hellspawn is much more fun with some buds than doing it solo.

Also, diggin' these 'caps.

There aren't supposed to be two different "Topsaucetoid" sections. I'll correct that mistake pronto.
