Your girlfriend.
Codemasters has unveiled its upcoming gladiatorial battler, Rise of the Argonauts, in a sweaty new video. SPOnG has the goods below. You can almost taste the testosterone...
In addition to the titular details Codies first gave us back at its 'Code '07' event, it tells us:
Players will also have to curry favour with the Gods, gaining special abilities or incurring their wrath depending on their moods.
SPOnG has long maintained that the Argonauts were a prototype for the modern-day superteam. A bunch of disparate super-ish beings banding together towards a common goal? Sounds good to us. Here's hoping it outdoes Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.
In addition to the titular details Codies first gave us back at its 'Code '07' event, it tells us:
“As Jason grows from young king to true legend, set sail aboard the Argo and explore the vast Aegean – a dynamic world of islands filled with shining cities, lush jungles and deep forests.
“Gamers will leave their mark on ancient Greece as they engage in heart-pumping, lethal, blood-spurting combat against hordes of enemy warriors, ruthless beasts and truly formidable mythological creatures. Whether Jason is lopping off heads or cutting warriors in half with his sword or if Hercules is wrestling with giant beasts, the intense action in Rise of the Argonauts™ will leave players wanting for their next confrontation.”

Sounds cool. I would have prefered a game following Odysseus, but this will do nicely. Greek mythology is full of cool stories many don't know, good way of telling them.

Codemasters, you guys n' gals keep this up and I'll be buying all your games. Didn't watch the video first time but it looks awesome, I want it...like now.
Nice to see a hack and slash games revival on the way. I too would like a 360 version.
