For those looking for a casual hack'n'slash role-player to while away those empty hours while you wait for Diablo 3 to get released, you might be interested in Din's Curse, a budget title that was released recently.

Mike Bantick has taken Din's Curse through it's paces and his review is now online - despite not being a next-gen game visually it sounds like it can stand on it's own two feet. Read our review for a closer look.

For those that like Diablo-esque hack'n'slash dungeon RPG games, Din's Curse might be of interest, especially as it supports co-operative multiplayer:

In Din's Curse, you will explore an extensive underground, slaying dangerous monsters, solving dynamic quests, dodging deadly traps, and in your spare time, plundering loot. Quell uprisings, flush out traitors, kill assassins, cure plagues, purge curses, end wars, and complete other dangerous quests or the danger WILL escalate. Not all is as it seems though, traitors will gladly stab you in the back, renegades can revolt against the town, spies can set up ambushes, and items might even curse or possess your friends.

Our game page has more information and screenshots. A demo has been released and you can now take this title for a test toast - both Windows and Mac OS X versions are available.
