The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing . New just out May.
PC - STEAM - Cheap - Diablo-esque action RPG. - Single & Multiplayer.

You get 2 controllable characters Van Helsing & his perky Spirit Girlfriend 
Katarina.
There chat is witty & funny - game doesn't take itself seriously.

Looks pretty - 3rd person isometric, just like 'this-sort-o-thing'  has 
always been.
You bash your way along a basically straight Linear route  from the
beginning to the Evil Scientist end Boss.

Don't take to much notice re. reported game bugs . Since release there have 
been 5 patches.
"... hack'n'slash rpg for low price.
Design, music, sounds, scenery, rpg-system match highest standards.
....great companion with hilarious sense of humour."
"Victorian/steam punk world with science gone wrong"
"The game really doesn’t do anything new, but the things it does are done 
extremely well.
If you are a fan of Torchlight II and Diablo III...."

I played through this game a few weeks back. It was great fun. The only thing
I didn't like about it was the lack of respawning enemies. When you have
cleared an area that's it. Other than that it is well worth a go, considering
how cheap it is.
