Did Diablo III leave you cold? Check out Torchlight 2, the long-awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed Torchlight that promises to let players romp around in a lush fantasy world defeating monsters, smashing barrels and collecting plenty of sweet, sweet loot. Runic Games is building Torchlight 2 to be a bigger, better action RPG for the PC that features four playable character classes, a ton of new environments to explore, and (perhaps most exciting) new multiplayer modes, including some form of player vs. player combat and a cooperative mode that will allow somewhere between two and six players to venture through the world of Torchlight 2 together. While the launch of Torchlight 2 has been pushed back multiple times, we're all for delays if it means we get a better game this holiday season.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that 2012 will be the year that mech games made their triumphant return to PC gaming. Mechwarrior Online is the third mech combat game that we expect to be playing this year, and it's the second to feature small-scale battles from a first-person perspective inside the cockpit of a hulking Battlemech. Developed by Piranha Games using the Battletech license, Mechwarrior Online is going to be a free-to-play multiplayer-only combat game where you can earn rewards and unlock new 'mechs with either experience or good old-fashioned cash.
