Cowboys v. Redskins
It's one of those timeless rivalries. The Cowboys of the West. On horseback and wearing leather. Packing heat and hat, spurs and saddle. The Redskins of the East. Bareback and bare-breasted. Coming to take our women, and rape our horses. The Evil, evil Redskins. Trying to destroy our way of life.
We must crush them, and send the hogs back home, unfed.

Titan Quest : a.k.a. Diablo III
Titan Quest is, quite simply, Diablo 3 in 3D.
And it lives up to the comparison. I've been playing this one pretty much as much as possible for the last few weeks. It's been patched twice, and is now totally ready for prime time.
Remember is Diablo how good it felt to really smash the demons and undead? Well, in Titan Quest, the baddies bodies fly a certain distain depending on just way hard you just whacked up. The power-up "monoliths" really kick up the skills. The system is designed with such simplicity of access to basic information, that a quick click lets you know just how much the buffs just changed your stats..i.e...just like D2.
One of the other highlights has been the huge variety of characters you can play. Roughly, to see all the possible combinations, in full skillful glory, would take about 400 hours.
The skill trees are fun. I have a couple characters nearing 30th level, on 12-15 hours of gameplay, that haven't reached the highest skill tier yet.
I can't wait to turn my Juggernaut into a Colossus.
Actually, that's what I'm going to try to do today.
I'll let you know how it goes.
UPDATE: The Colossus thing is freakin' awesome. This game in an absolute blast, and with 36 differnt "classes" there's a great deal of fun to be had. The 1.2 patch isn't my favorite (it narfs the "Oracle" a bit, and makes the end-boss nigh impossible to beat), but stability is now awesome and the game runs more smoothly than before.
