Torchlight is a great little game available for digital download (got mine off Steam) for just $20. Made by a variety of developers who have worked on games like Diablo, Diablo II, and Mythos.

The Premise:
As one of 3 Classes, you explore the town of Torchlight and the massive Ember mines that stretch below it. As you descend, the atmosphere and environment changes. While levels maintain a certain theme, each level is randomized, meaning different enemies, puzzles, and layouts in every play through.
KEY FEATURES:
* Randomization – Our level layouts are randomly created, so each adventure is unique. Monsters, treasures, puzzles, and items are also different each time you embark on an adventure.
* Easy, approachable interface – Torchlight is designed to be easy to play right from the beginning. The intuitive interface gives players easy access to a rich and varied world.
* Retirement System – Once characters are sufficiently leveled up, they can “retire” and bestow specific benefits and perks to new characters.
* Pets – Players will choose a pet to accompany them. Pets can level up along with the player, and will help in battle, carry items, and perform a variety of helpful services.
* Character Classes – Players will create and customize a character and choose an animal companion. Through cosmetic choices, skill path decisions, and the treasures they acquire, each character will be custom-tailored and different.
* Fishing – Players can take a break from the high-energy pace of adventuring to visit one of the fishing holes and relax and see what they can catch. Fish have interesting benefits for the player and pet, and other rewards can also be discovered
* Editor – Runic Games is embracing our modding community by providing an editor so our players can create and design their own content.
The game is on a somewhat small scale. Is it a mind-blowing experience? No. Is it fun? Yes, and it's cheap and only 300mb. Great if you're bored and don't want to shell out 50-60 bucks for a big title. It's polished, there really are no glaring flaws except for lack of content and depth, but what there is is fun and the combat is great.
