Giant Bomb has a quick look for Torchlight on XBLA now.

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-...critic-reviews

A few reviews have popped up so far since the embargo ended today, though it may take time for more reviews since it's a long game. The achievements look really tame compared to the Steam achievements, which are just mostly about beating bosses rather than having crazy long-term goals for the Steam version.

One day after Dragon Age 2! bullocks!

Fantastic. Xbox has not nearly enough Diablo clones and such games aren't tremendously prudent on a netbook.

it is most likely DA:2 will go on sale well before Torchlight gets a price reduction...I'm going to wait til DA:2 hits $19.99 if I even get it at all. Hope there's a TL demo.

They always have demos (trials) of arcade games. No worries man.

Not sure what you mean, Torchlight runs great on a netbook.

So excited for this. I have off on Wednesday so it should be a good day

Runs great but my screen is roughly the size of a postage stamp.

Lol I just beat the first major boss in the demo and then a window popped up asking for me to buy the full game....first it said "This download: -1 Microsoft Points" and when I clicked to download it (thinking I'm actually GETTING a point for buying the game lol), another window popped up saying that I didn't have enough Microsoft Points to download it...my Current balance: 1343 Microsoft Points, Required balance: 4294967295 Microsoft Points. WOW I think that's gotta be at least a million dollars....I definitely enjoyed the demo, but I dunno if it's worth that much...

Please feel free to add me to unlock the potion, thanks. Gamertag--->GregSal1

LOL! It's 53+ million dollars. Totally worth it!

Queued up. Will definitely be enjoying this game.

Played some of Torchlight on XBLA this morning. Loved it. For some reason, it was easy for me to play as a warrior on PC, but on 360, the ranged character is op. Haven't tried the mage yet, but loved the game thus far. Totally worth 1200 points. Created a new character just to get the pet transformation achievement, don't want to loose my cat for my main character.

I turned my lizard thing into a troll with the fish. Later, I turned him into an electric guy for a few minutes, and when the effect wore off, he was back to a lizard. So the troll change isn't as permanent as they say.

I've never played this game or seen it beyond the video in the OP. I have very little idea what it's like. But that post makes me WANT to play it.

I guess you haven't played the PC version. The effect is considered a power up. Different fish will give your pet different abilities and it is a temporary effect.

Can't wait to pick this game up when I get home.

So basically...the giant fish (troll fish) is permanent in there is no duration.

Taken from the Torchlight GameFAQs
"Pet Shapechanges: Some fish will change the form of your pet.
Simple fish will change your pet for 2 minutes, giving them a number
of special abilities (like dashing attacks, poison attacks, spells,
and other goodies). Big fish change your pet for a full hour. Giant
fish will change them permanently. You will typically find these
three types of fish in a 100:10:1 ratio, with weaker forms more
common. I found it quite useful to transfer a giant fish (in my case
an ice angel- transformation to ice elemental) to a new character,
giving the pet a huge boost. You can also buy a catfish/dogfish to
reverse a transformation (though I wouldn't- just feed them a cheap 2
minute transformation to remove the effect). Note that if you feed
your pet a giant fish, then feed them a normal or big fish, they will
revert back to dog/cat form after the duration has ended."
