Well, whoever it is, for all but ruining Viking: Battle for Asgard, thank you very much.

Viking: Battle for Asgard is a game that started out life with such an abundance of promise. For starters, few developers use Norse mythology or Vikings as a premise for their games, leaving a massive gap in the market, and for a developer as highly respected – nay, loved – as the Creative Assembly to tackle the Norsemen seems like an open invitation for enthusiasm."
