So being plagued with dial-up for the time being my online gaming has of course gone to shit, so I'm looking for a fun, single player, diablo-esque type game. I'd prefer a PC title, and to be honest, the cheaper the better.

Also has an awesome expansion.

Second NoX. It's also abandonware, but I will discuss that no further without mod approval.
And great physics. At the end of every Titan Quest session I go back to the starter town and judge my characters improvement by how far I can send the lowbie monsters.
And as someone else mentioned... Diablo with a physics engine for great justice/hilarity. Charging into a group of monsters and watching 3-4 of them go flying off a cliff never gets old. You just need a decent gaming rig to play it on (it has some framerate issues).
Edit: Oh, and the expansion is mandatory. It adds so many things to the core gameplay (like a Diablo 2-style bank) that make the game just so much more fun, along with the new full act.
So baughteded!

Worth a play just for the 'minstrel' in town. That theme song rocks.
Right, I should have mentioned that. At first, you have to do the whole "rid the dungeon of the evil" routine, basically something ripped from D2 (as if enough hasn't been ripped from that game), but then after you do that the world opens up like you said.
Also, I heard a rumor about how the ex-Blizzard North guys have a working version of an MMO that plays just like D2. Imagine, an actual MMO in the style of D2. They plan to actually release it from what I know.
You mean the ex-Blizzard North guys that founded Flagship Studios and are making Hellgate: London?
edit: and Mythos
Yes, those guys. The network guy here said he read an article a couple weeks ago about how they have an MMO game in the vein of D2, and they all play it around the office, and they said it's fun as hell and they want to release it as a full game. I should see if he can give me a link
I'll 2nd this.
I did the exact same thing... There's something about it that doesn't feel right... I don't know what it is.

It never ends, you can upgrade gear, and items have sockets, you get a pet < dog or cat> that you can feed fish to and change it into different monsters to fight along with you. You can also fish in dungeons and while fishing you can load up your pet with all unwanted gear and send it to town to sell your stuff and return with monies
You can buy it online or in a store both for 20 bucks and its actually a really fun game.

Oh, and it's sort of an MMO, I guess. It's certainly worth a try. It's pretty damn funny, if nothing else. I actually put quite a few hours into it when I wasn't playing WoW.
It also generally improves on Diablo 2's gameplay in most aspects, though it's arguably not as deep (it doesn't have a horadric cube equivalent, or runewords or anything like that), but I like it that way, personally. It doesn't have random levels, but I really don't think it makes much of a difference beyond a psychological level. The game is a lot larger and flavourful than Diablo 2, so that makes up for it, in my opinion.
I'd also easily recommend the first Divine Divinity game.
Lead Designer of Fate, Travis Baldree, is working for Flagship Studios Seattle on Mythos.
I'm in the beta at the moment, it's looking pretty damn nice. They're iterating pretty heavily on the first section of game before expanding the content out, so there's a fairly rapid pace to fixing bugs and adding new features.
Divine Divinity is amazing and everyone should play it at least once.
Titan Quest is fun, but the item system blows, in my opinion. There are no randomly generated rare items and the set/unique items are really the only things worth picking up. Play the normal game and you'll probably never find unique items you can use. Mod the game so the drop more often, and suddenly they're the only thing worth picking up. It's very pretty though.
