I’ve got this urge to just play something akin to Diablo II and Titan’s Quest, but neither of those games. Possibly something closer to the Baldur’s Gate games on the PS2. Good old dungeon crawling and infinite loots. I mean, I could just pop in Too Human, but I’m looking for sort of a medieval [...]

Really.
I’ve finished Dead Space and I’m on my second playthrough, and while I’m doing [...]
