Kyle Miller writes "Classic mythology is popular in RPGs and video games in general, so much so that one might say it's overused. Norse mythology comes to mind immediately, but Greek is close behind as the most common source of inspiration to developers, from enemy types to location and item names. These once-rich wells of inspiration grow barren. Nevertheless, some developers insist upon not only stealing ideas from mythology, but creating entire RPGs based on popular myths as well. Rise of the Argonauts is one such example. Argonauts is an attempt at a cinematic action RPG that tells a timeless and romantic tale, but it is a failed attempt. Rise of the Argonauts is a soulless adventure about as pointless and uninspired as excessive mythology references."

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 !
