PSXExtreme writes: "If you're a fan of mythology, you're probably wondering to yourself: "why aren't there more video games based on the ancient Greek Gods of power and wonder? Don't they lend themselves perfectly to video game context and concept?" The answer to that is a resounding "yes," of course, but for some reason, while many game theories are indeed based on one form of mythology or another, we rarely have a high-profile title centered directly on the primary players that frequent the always entertaining tales of mythology. Kratos is a new creation, despite the atmosphere, for example. Therefore, Codemasters has decided to step up and introduce us to Rise of the Argonauts, featuring the legendary Jason and his band of traveling heroes in their ceaseless quest to secure the Golden Fleece. This one is an action/RPG – potentially of the highest order – that may give us a truly unique next-gen experience. Provided they get the mechanics right, it could be a very worthy adventure."
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 !
This title looked pretty promising in the Game Informer cover story published some time ago. Hopefully, it will deliver even if I don't plan on tackling a purchase.
