Gaming has plundered plenty of locales and eras over the years. The muddy fields of World War II, grim and industrial sci-fi futures and... okay, most just those two.
Yet few games have bothered with ancient Greece of ye olde times, even though gladatorial combat, rich mythology and rampant bloodshed clearly makes it a ripe picking ground for developers.
Rise of the Argonauts shows what those developers have been missing out on. You play Jason, who sets off to find the mythical golden fleece after your wife is assassinated. It is said that the golden fleece has the power to bring those who have died back to life, which is why Jason gathers his Argonauts and together with his trusted friend Hercules, sets his heart on finding it.
