Ask most people which ancient myths they are most familiar with, and the majority will answer 'Greek'. Hosting a pantheon of memorable figures like Zeus, Athena, Ares, Hercules, The Medusa and Kratos (...or not), it's not hard to see why. The success of titles like God of War, which played with the familiar iconography of Greek mythology, and movies like the pseudo-historical 300 only reinforce the popularity of these stories in mainstream culture. Now, Codemasters and Liquid Entertainment arrive brandishing their upcoming action-RPG Rise of the Argonauts for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC, in the hope that it can capture a segment of the same audience which made the abovementioned entertainments so successful.
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 !
