[PaladinXII]

I *need* Torchlight because after just having played Alan Wake, I am naturally attracted to anything that produces light... and pretty graphics... and a well-designed control scheme that smoothly transitions the port from PC to 360.

Mostly I just *need* the awesomeness. :)

[Spacecataz]

I need it because I have no money to buy Homefront or the the new defiant map pack (Halo:Reach). Plus Torchlight is pretty awesome played the trial and loved it.

[Thrallia]

I need Torchlight because I'm in need of something to hold me over until I can get my Diablo III fix.

[BizobbyD]

I need torchlight because I don't have the money to buy it and it's frickin awesome.

[Christopher]

Because every good game deserves to be played by everyone, but especially me!

[PIMPBYBLUD]

Because this is the game of the year winner and I'm ready to "Destroy" enemies!

[SuicideSnowman]

Because I'm lusting for some loot and Torchlight would satisfy my desire.

Thanks for the contest.

[Theyellowflash30]

I need Torchlight cause I am a RPG fiend! I played the demo and I loved it but I don't have the money to get it. Torchlight hits all the right spots for me! It has great weapons, awesome gameplay, cool customization, great magic, and excellent level design. I have been talking about Torchlight like crazy to my friends about how cool this game is and If I was to get Torchlight I could really show them what this game is about. I need this game to 1. Spread to others how awesome it is. 2, cause I'm broke. And 3, I am a RPG fanatic and there isn't any other RPG's to play right now.

[GearSkiN]

never played this one but i would love to give it a shot! go N4G!

[toaster]

Alchemist is my favorite. Minion master + warrior = win. Forget the staffs, two-hand swords that do 800 DPS and have minions fight for you.

[eugaet]

I need Torchlight because I'm a huge fan of the PC version and, from what I've read, it retains all the awesomeness but adds in that little chunk of crack called 'achievements'. Must. Get. Achievements.
Also, new pet!

[bfenty]

I need torchlight because I haven't played an XBLA title in a while and want to get back into it...and this game looks like just the game to do it with.

[shadokid]

i need this game because i love rpg games and this game and was upset that i couldnt level up to 8 and get my cool new weapon :/ plus i enjoy the fact there is a pet system and the game is plain awesome, alchemist owns with those mini imps destroying enemies 5 times there height while i back them up with magic, also its funny because by eating a fish your pet can transform into different animals or enemies.

[herobyclicking]

I need Torchlight because...Ember ain't gonna save itself, I'm their hero. Who has two thumbs and two wands? This guy!

[Christopher]

All I'm imagining is you pointing to yourself with your wands and accidentally searing your face. :p

[GeddyThePolack]

I need Torchlight because I have absolutely nothing else to pay and I don't get paid until Friday

[GeddyThePolack]

I meant play

[hudsoniscool]

i need torchlight because ive never played it, and it looks awsome.

[Ya Boy17]

I need to have Torchlight bc I love this style of an RPG. I have played all the Diablos and loved every game. I know the Devs are over at Runic now, so this makes me want it even more. I have played the trial version and loved it. It has amazing graphics, and gameplay. Also, I love how you had a pet which it gave a different special twist and feel of the game. I currently do not have enough money to buy it which I know it is not much but I have no job and I am full time college student and athlete, so I have no source of income and my parents currently take care of my school, rent, and other expenses, and the money I do have is more for necessities such as gas and food. So, c'mon N4G help a fellow gamer out to fully play an awesome game.

[ferrari005]

I need torchlight because it is very similar to Diablo and I used to love Diablo and play it all the time. I tried the demo for this game and immediately fell in love, the artwork is amazing, the gameplay is loads of fun and it has all the elements that I loved in Diablo. I feel that this game is well worth the money, I would buy it only if I had the Microsoft Points to afford it, sadly I don't have enough money to buy a Points Card, so if I were to win a free copy I would be very happy. :)

[Sidology]

Vanquisher reporting in.

I *NEED* a copy of Torchlight, because I need to find a way to convince my Diablo-fanatic girlfriend to play Torchlight II with me.

And what better way to do it than to have her play the first game and get her addicted to that? It worked when I wanted her to play Plants vs Zombies.

[XANDEO]

I need Torchlight because...today sadly i lost my job and could do with a torch that relights my darkend state and what better way than with an awsome xbla game that could inspire my path to recovery.

[JohnFiler]

I need Torchlight because i have nothing to play and only 750 MSP left :(

[Tyler1210]

I need Torchlight because I just spent 2 hours playing the trial last night and I can not get enough! I do not have a good computer so I have never been able to play these types of games :( Finally one of the best come out on the Xbox and I am to broke to get it. It drives me crazy not being able to play it so that is why I NEED it.

[arm57rong]

I need Torchlight because I love video games. I love Diablo and can't wait to get a hold of a game on console that can compete with it. Plus I like being a hero...Don't get too many chances to do that as a Store Manager of a game store.

But most of all, the reason you should give me Torchlight??

I have Punch and Pie.

[Columbo]

I need a Torchlight code because I need something to pull me away from my Dragon Age addiction. Just 1 more quest. Just one more conversation.

Not sure if I'm eligible, but it's worth a shot.

[teraMEL0S]

I need Torchlight because looting games are fun and addicting! It's also similar to the Diablo series, which is awesome!!!

[mrgerbik03]

I need torchlight because I am an alchemist in real life and want to branch out to the fantasy realm.

[RatedRLegend]

I need Torchlight because, my destiny is to destroy all that come in my way, while I search thru underground passages, with my dog on my side.

[sukru]

I need Torchlight more, because I want to switch my experience from the PC to the Xbox.

[eric813]

I need torchlight Its awesome, and I'm awesome...It's a Perfect match! N4G4L1F3

[bodybombs]

rolling ftw

[Professor Chaos]

I don't want Torchlight, I need Torchlight and when you need something it's a responsibility!

[n4g_dog]

As part of an ancient order dedicated to justice and bringing balance to the world, I, a Vanquisher, should be sent out to Torchlight to investigate the mysterious slayings and missing town folks. Unknown to me, the darkness below the small town of Torchlight runs far deeper than the mines beneath - I should be sent to investigate immediately! As an expert marksman, I am able to take enemies from afar as well as use traps to confuse and deliberate my foes from all directions.

The flow of Ember and the darkness below will test the my skill and conviction to the fullest. Send me to Torchlight!!!!

[Magnato86]

I NEED TORCHLIGHT TO SATISFY MY DUNGEON CRAWLING ADDICTION TILL TORCHLIGHT 2 COMES OUT BECAUSE DIABLO 3 IS PROBABLY GONNA TAKE ANOTHER 3-4 YEARS. PLUS TORCHLIGHT IS TOO DAMN GOOD TO PASS UP. THX RUNIC FOR SATISFYING SOMETHING BLIZZARD STARTED.

[ronaldst]

I'd love to win Torchlight so we could play comfortably in the living room!

[ropes]

Torchlight is a very fun game on the PC and I would like to also try it on the 360. It is easily one of the most fun action rpgs to come out to in past few years. So drop a copy here and you will make another person that much happier.

[BOARBACON]

I *need* Torchlight for I wasted my money trying to compete with EpicMealTime.

[ilRadd]

I "need" Torchlight because there are very few dungeon crawlers on XBLA & I love a good dungeon crawler!

[downsouthtigger]

I need torchlight because everyone else does, I'm a fool for peer pressure. Plus I hear good things and the trial was awesome!

[Zerospartan]

I need Torchlight because all of my friends have it. They have said nothing but good things about this game and it makes me mad that i cant afford it.

[deejrandom]

Torchlight runs through my soul. It is a part of me like no other town has ever been. Yes I have visited it on many occasions on my PC but I must, I MUST show my xbox friends the glory of Torchlight. For this purpose i Must win. Nay, I must conquer this once great labyrinth....

[Lavagasm]

I need Torchlight because I got banned from Halo reach and now I have nothing to do for two weeks.

[louiedog]

I need Torchlight because I haven't been able to recapture the feeling I got playing through Diablo II and this may finally be the game to do it.

[airhorn95]

My cousin just got torchlight and continues to boast about it even though I'm the one who told him about it. Please give me a free code so I can join him and maybe even a little boasting payback.

I need torchlight just because I know if I won it, that's one other person who didn't. So it's all about spite, really.

[foweR33L]

I need Torchlight because I need to see its gloriousness on hi-def rather than my puny PC monitor.

[JackKnifeZero]

I need Torchlight because I loved it so much on PC that I want to experience the thrill of diving 50 levels down a dungeon teeming with all sorts of monsters and epic loot again with a new control system on the 360. Also, my wife won't let me buy it. She says I should spend the money on my school bills.

[allyc4t]

I need this game because I've played the trial 100 times and can't get enough.

[bat395]

I need Torchlight because last night I had a dream that a magical polar bear with wings descended from the heavens and told me that I would play Torchlight in less than a fortnight. He also gave me a diet Dr. Pepper. *sigh* The soda was flat. This means that at least one good thing must come out of this omen... and a flat soda isn`t one of them.

[Chronorayven]

I need torchlight to keep my looting in check and since diablo 3 is not here yet :P

[StaticFX]

I have Played all 3 Fate's to DEATH and I want to play on my 46" HDTV!!!!! not my puny PC monitor!... I need this bad! Please!

[Johnny Jiron]

I'd like a code for Torchlight, because its the first of its kind of game that I ever really got into. I always passed on such things, but now I wanna go back to all those games I ignored all because of this game. Sadly I was only able to play the demo since I'm a tad on the broke side...

[usluem]

I *need* Torchlight because the game looks very addictive and well crafted. I also hope the success of this game will bring along Torchlight 2 with co-op to consoles, as well as Diablo. I have been playing games of this genre since I was 10 years old in 95'. I greatly appreciate the chance to win. Good Luck!

[x_RadicalAura_x]

I *NEED* Torchlight because I've always wanted a dungeon cralwer RPG to play on my Xbox 360. I played the trial from Steam on my Mac before it was announced for XBLA and I loved it back then. Unfortunately, since money's tight right now, I wasn't able to buy it. I really want Torchlight!

[Raider69]

[TheRealSickboy]

I *NEED* Torchlight for XBLA because I'm an avid gamer and father to five kids under the age of 6, so my game budget is EXTREMELY limited. I love Runic and I've been dying to get my hands on Torchlight, but my kids come first.

[Pneub]

I need Torchlight because I'm short on msp and need mah dungeon crawling.

[neo-max]

I need Torchlight because heroin isn't doing it for me anymore!

[AceLogan]

I *need* Torchlight because it is a critically-acclaimed masterpiece of...no, that’s not good enough.

I *need* Torchlight because N4G is the bestest site EVER...no, that’s not good enough either.

I *need* Torchlight because it was actually written by subterranean aliens to defend the Frontier from Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada. I will become the highest-scoring player of the game, after which I will be approached by the game's inventor, Travis Schaefer, who will take me to his alien world. I will be required to loot-whore and defeat hordes to be a WINNER. After I return, there will be a subsequent novelization and an off-Broadway musical of my adventures. However, due to my whoring, a new race will evolve from my unintended offspring, and the Earth will fall into worse shape than when I started, and Torchlight II will need to be released to fix everything I screwed up. So to speak.

Also, me wantee!

[SilverSlug]

I need it because I have only played the demo and I want it!

[Hematemesis]

I *need* Torchlight because I'm in serious need of a new RPG to play.

[Guybrush]

I need Torchlight simple because it gives me adrenalin! I haven't had that rush since I beat Diablo II about ten years ago.

So PLEASE, I NEED THIS GAME! I NEED ALL IT'S AWESOMENESS!

[jono1086]

I need Torchlight because I am lost in this cave and can't find my way out.
