    This week's deal from Steam is the action RPG Titan Quest. The sale includes the expansion pack TQ: Immortal Throne for a price of $9.99. If you login to Steam, there is a demo available. I don't know how I missed this, but I tried the demo and enjoyed it. There is also an online coop mode which seems cool. I will be picking this up and maybe we can setup some games on NBR's group. If you liked Diablo 2, this could be something to look at.

    Thanks for the heads up. I bought this game and the xpac about a year ago and really enjoyed it. I have always enjoyed Diablo 2 clones even the Champion of Norrath ones on the PS2 but this was my favorite clone by far. Then I had to reformat my harddrive and I could never find the original game so I've not been able to finish the xpac. Definitely gonna pick this back up since its so cheap.

    Me and a couple of friends bought it yesterday. We used to play it a lot before, it's a nice Diablo 2 clone thing. Definetly a great deal.

    I played a bit of it today, and the only thing I don't really like is the whole save/load deal. I know Diablo 2 was the same way, but I don't have to like it. I got stuck at the shaman (10 minutes in lol) and had to restart to pick a better skill mastery. Otherwise, everything else is done well.

    Also, can you use mods with a Steam game? This is the first non-Valve Steam game I have, and I was looking over the mod lists but I can't figure out if you can add them.
