collecting items

I always thought the Diablo series would be a great canditate for translation to console. The gameplay already comes pre-consolized - very simple, but addictive. It doesn't require extensive coopration with other players, which is great for a 'turn the console on and go' sort of gameplay with minimal text-based communication.

Most console owners probably never played diablo and likely aren't familar with the 3rd person isometric action/rpg, so it would be new and exciting for many. If they just dumb the character progression and itemization down a bit, I could see it being a hit.

Your mother was a hamster & your father smelt of elderberries!!!

(obviously another console-kiddie with NFI about what Diablo _really_ is...the last true bastion of mouseclicking goodness in a quagmire of consolitis thumb-using mouth-breathers! :)

(Nice try btw - 3/10 ;)
