If that wasn't enough, the six-player co-op makes my loot-fetish go into overdrive. Never-ending with limitless character opportunities, Titan Quest is the perfect fix those awaiting Diablo III.
A particular highlight comes when you're asked to fight your way through the Pyramids of Giza - a setting that's oddly untouched by games. Iron Lore have successfully transferred the ancient world to digital form, both narratively and visually. China and Hades are all full of the heroes and heroines you would expect. Rich in lore and teeming with items, Titan Quest holds your hand as it guides you lovingly through the ancient world. Genre enthusiasts may draw comparison with a certain game by Blizzard, but Titan Quest does a cracking job at mimicking its obvious inspiration. Weeks of grinding finally pay off, but there's little rest as my helm is looking starting to look shabby.
Dying 17 times against a boss would usually result in my mouse going through my monitor, but it's quickly forgotten when I finally see the drop when I win.
