Torchlight review

Everyone's favourite game- or mine- at least

I kinda love this game.
If you ever heard of the game called FATE or Diablo, you're gonna love this game- a lot!! (like me) And why are ya' gonna love the game? Because they are the creators of the damn game, but better.

With stunning graphics and out -of -this world monsters, Torchlight is the game for RPG players- or players who are curious about the game (like me!!)
In the game, you can choose three characters- a destroyer, a vanquisher, and an alchemist. You can name them anything you want, and you can choose two types of pets, a dog and a cat (the "cat" loks seriously like a tiger and the "dog" seriously looks like a wolf...), name them, and you're on your own, venturing into the depths of the mines, facing danger and monsters and solving mysteries behind Torchlight's madness and the cause of it.








You know the saying; no one is perfect in this world. Likewise, no game is perfect in the gaming world. There's always some bad parts.
I don't like the controls, you only use the mouse to control the character. Why don't we use the up, down, left and right controls or W,S,A,D to control the characters? Using the mouse will sometimes make the character travel overboard
Leveling up gives you some points for your strength, armour, magic, etc. Well, they don't give you recommended settings for your character. Its all up to you to decide and you may choose the wrong one. For example, an alchemist level up, and was given some points to add to his strenghth, or something. Everyone knows that alchemist uses magic, and you've guessed it, he adds his points to his magic. Then many monsters attacked him and he can't keep them all at range, and some monsters managed to slip past his attacks and attacked him, and because his armour is'nt that good, he died
I hate the map. Its so confusing, like FATE.
But overall, the game is good, and I rate it 4/5.
But hold your horses! I said there was a surprise. I'm gonna teach you how to get the game, for free! Yeah, you heard me, I said FREE!
There's no torrents, so you do not need to wait for countless hours to get the game. But this method may work for some of you, but its worth a shot.
You'll need poweriso, and you can get the trial here at this websitehttp://www.poweriso.com/download.htm
WinRAR at this link rarlabs.com/download.htm
And the game iso, bin and cue. file at this website http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VENWVB7W


If you follow the steps you should be able to get the game
1) Download the game file
Just download it from the website. It may take 30 minutes to 1hour to download the file.
2) Extract it with WinRAR to a folder (recomended)
Right click the file with a small picture of stacked books beside it and click extract. Extract your file to your desired place.
3)Minimise the window and open poweriso
I do not need to explain this part, right?
4)Set your number of drives to 1 drive
Click mount, then click set number of drives to one.
5)Close poweriso and open your game file.
6)Right click your cue. file, or iso file or the file that has a golden disc picture beside it and click mount to a drive that says no media.
7)Watch your Torchlight game being installed.
If your computer starts torchlight by itself and starts installing itself, give yourself a nice cold drink and shout 'congrats' to yourself. All you need to do next is play and enjoy yourself!
