I just downloaded and tried out the [single player demo](http://www.fileplanet.com/176044/170000/fileinfo/Hellgate:-London-Demo) for Hellgate: London last night. So far, I’m pretty impressed, it feels like a revamped version of Diablo 2, and all of the skills so far have a really good feel to them.

What’s your take? 🙂

It remains to be seen. I played through as both a BladeMaster and a Marksman, and it was just like a different perspective Diablo II. Somehow it doesn’t have the same addictiveness though. I’ll probably buy it eventually, but I’m in no rush. It’s also nice that a current and decent game has such low hardware requirements.

Pretty much though, my gaming life is just a sad wait for Portal 2.

I admit, I’m in the same camp here. Nothing else will _truly_ satisfy me until I get more of GLaDOS, but I might be able to find something to ease the pain of the wait. 😃

Well the Fileplanet link in the OP didn’t work very well for me (40kbs bleh!) so I searched and found this [Link](http://www.gamedaily.com/games/hellgate-london/pc/game-downloads/hellgate-london-demo/4251/7197/) and it’s getting 400+ for me so if anyone else is having that problem try this one.
