More famous for its well-regarded range of web browser games, Fate is Wild Tangent's first entry into the regular game market. Half-action, half-RPG, and aimed firmly at casual or non-traditional gamers, Fate is a beautifully designed game that's made even better by its $20 price tag. If you're looking for a mindless time-killer, there's nothing that beats it.

Let's get this out of the way first: Fate is a bit like Diablo. Well, it's a lot like Diablo. It's like Diablo in the "I wonder if they're going to get sued by Blizzard" kind of way. The controls are like Diablo. The inventory system is like Diablo. It has town portals, identify scrolls, and interface graphics... like Diablo. In short, if you don't like Diablo, this isn't the game for you.
