Now, right off the bat, you're going to want to compare this game to God of War, and it's a fair comparison to make. Pawn of the Gods doing trials to try and please them? Check. Messing with the Titans? Check. God-like powers bestowed on your person and weapons by those very same Gods? You betcha.
The game is very pretty, even in an unfinished state, and there are a lot of really cool combat maneuvers to be had here, but make no mistake, this is an RPG, which will allow you to change the flow of the story based on the choices you make and the answers you give to questions that appear along the way. You're not funneled into making these decisions, but rather live and die by them, kind of like real life...if you happen to be Jason trolling around the Greek Isles with the Argonauts."
You can pay what you want for Overlord, its Raising Hell DLC, Operation Flashpoint: Red River, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, and Rise of the Argonauts. Paying $6 or more gets you Overlord II, DiRT Showdown, and DiRT 3.
Letting an aggregate review score from sites like Metacritic become the sole dictator of your buying decisions is sure to make you miss out on a lot of fun, unique experiences.
With Valentine's Day weekend now upon us, what better way to honour all the love-laden gamers out there than to take a look back on the greatest romances found on the Xbox 360.
Love is both an incredible gift and a burdening beast. It is a joy that gives wonderful memories or a cruel mistress that demands incredible sacrifice. Love can make you feel like you have everything in the world or that you have nothing left to cherish. Although these five examples of love are different in almost every way, these couples portray the power of love better than the rest.
Enjoy !
...the more I hear, read, and see about the game. Looks like it will have some fantastic replay value as well with the level up system.
This is quickly moving up my list of most wanted games. It probably will never eclipse Gears or Fable (I loved the first one) but I do currently want this more then Fallout or Force Unleashed. Not saying this will be better then those games but to me, I am more eager to play this right now.
