Titan Quest review

You've been waiting for Diablo 3? Well here it is, except it's called Titan Quest and set in classical Greece, China, and Egypt, and it's not by Blizzard. No, it doesn't have satanic minions or blood or big glowing pentagrams, but it does have demons, skeletons, and epic monsters like a screen-chomping Cyclops. Oh, and partial nudity, whatever that means.

If you've been missing the genre where left-clicking does all, boy does developer Iron Lore have a gem for you. Take three parts top-down hack-a-thon and zero parts plot and out pops Titan Quest, the ultimate in slicing, dicing, and literally hurling monster-fodder around the screen. Pick a gender and listen to the "okay, we'll have one if we must" introduction about those pesky Titans that Zeus imprisoned suddenly breaking free, then you’re off to surf bawdy throngs of satyrs, spiders, centaurs, and myrmidons as you pinball from city to city in search of the ultimate gear and the coolest monster to kill with it.
