Fable 2 vs Torchlight
Fable 2
Fable 2 is the sequel to the incredibly popular Fable RPG series set in the land of Albion. Offering more of the same and yet with some nice improvements such as getting a pet dog, the game is more immersive than ever. Craft your own narrative as you forge your own path as a fighter, a gunslinger or a mage. You can even build relationships with various NPCs, fall in love and start your own family. And of course, the franchise's hallmark feature - every action you make will have a consequence... some of which can be pretty funny.Fable 2 is a brilliant follow-up to the original game and does the franchise justice. However, the game is somehow not available for PC gamers unlike the previous game, and this can come as a disappointment for many fans. That said, if you got an Xbox, you might want to get this game.
Torchlight
Torchlight is a fun dungeon crawling game that features an epic storyline, thrilling action and a loyal pet companion, which you can customize, to boot! Assemble a team of three heroes and descend into the monsters-filled caverns below the town in search of the valuable and rare ore, Ember, as well as plenty of riches and glory. You can even take a breather in between all the monster slaying to head off to a fishing pool and go fishing. The fishes you get are surprisingly powerful though - they can be fed to your loyal companion and turn it into powerful battle allies rather than just being a pack mule.Like most dungeon crawlers, randomization is key to the gameplay, giving players a fresh new experience everytime they replay the game, but of course, mod support also gives the game an even longer lifespan. To faciliate this replayability, the game even has a retirement system in place which allow you to pass down prized equipment to your new heroes as you "retire" the old one.
Torchlight may not have enjoyed a following that's large as Diablo, but the game has its own group of loyal fans and hardcore players who still play the game. The game itself feels so much more lighthearted than the dark demonic tones of the latter and is perfect for players who enjoy dungeon crawlers but dislike being scared silly by grotesque creatures of hell.
