Thought people might be interested to know that Torment got itself a mention in the Old Grey Lady today (that is, the New York Times): http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/08/arts/television/08alpha.html , which is talking about Alpha Protocol (the recent effort from Chris Avellone), but also refers to the 2000 review of Torment itself, http://www.nytimes.com/2000/04/27/technology/game-theory-a-universe-wher... .
" ... one of the most important and inventive role-playing games of all time, 1999’s Planescape: Torment."
That is a nice quote to see in a mainstream paper.
