You know what? I recommend Metro: Last Light for everything. Like shooting games? Metro LL. Adventure? Metro LL has that. Resource management? Metro LL. Enjoy platform games? Screw it, play Metro LL anyway.

EDIT: Just remembered a game with intimidating and scary enemies. How could I forget. Play the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series If you haven't already. Amazing game.

What's a good recent Diablo clone? I reeeaaally want to play Diablo 3, but the always-online DRM is still too big a hurdle to overcome for me to actually lay down some money.

Torchlight 2.

I mean its recent in the same sense that Diablo 3 is recent.

[itisnotlogical]

I have a loose definition of "recent" anything less than a decade old is recent to me.

Grim Age is one I'm keeping an eye on, though it isn't finished yet and has about another chapter to be added still. Being made by the people who made Titan Quest. I haven't played it as I'm waiting for it to be finished.

"The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing" is pretty fun as well, though it's rather short all up and your character has a max level of 30. You can import your character into the second (level cap of 60) and third games but there's the downside, buying three games.
It has an endless mode where your character keeps fighting against stronger and stronger opponents, there's also a tower defence type game where you defend against waves using traps and your character.
Another bit of annoyance is that two classes and an upgrade to your constant follower (A ghost) are available as DLC. They're not too expensive so all together it costs about $25.00 USD including the base game.

I haven't played the 2nd and 3rd instalments of TIAOVH.

I would still recommend looking into Sacred 2. It's silly and could be difficult to run (I have stuttering lag since I updated to Windows 64bit. Since fixed, turning off PhysX or somesuch called thing in graphic settings in game solved the problem.) but the scope of the game world and variety is quite impressive. There is a community patch that fixes bugs and adds new content.

Path of Exile's really good, very interesting skill system and huge passive skill tree. It also has a very fair free to play system, the only things you can buy that effect gameplay at all are bank slots and character slots. The only downside is it takes a few hours for the gameplay to start feeling really good, and since it's online lag can be a problem.

If you can whip out a Gamecube there's Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.

titan quest is worth a spin, it's only 9 years old

[Flying Carcass]

I'll second Torchlight and Titan's Quest. On a side note, if you're up for something diablo-esque but very different, there's also Borderlands which is a first-person-shooter diablo-esque game series (quite fun).

i'd like to find a nice platformer that's mainly based around exploration, and features little in the way of fighting or enemies.

I think you will want to try Iji.
You can fight enemies but you will only get a happy ending if you refrain from killing anyone (beyond some bosses). Also the storyline is different depending on how many people you killed.

i've heard of it, still haven't tried it, so thanks. i'll give it a go.

I'm looking for 2D platformer/side-scrolling shooting games where individual limbs and other areas on the body can be targeted and will affect further gameplay in some way. This should hold true for at least the player character.

Multiplayer would be great, but singleplayer is fine too. As long as it isn't a zombie shooting game.

Cortex Command.

recently updated, as well.

What was the old (2000's, i think) game it was loosely based on / inspired by?  Soldiers?  Soldat?  Infantry?  Something like that.  I think it has limb injuries as well, but man it's been a long time.
