I’d prefer an emo Odysseus, who constantly goes on about how he wants to go home and how the plot is a big pile of crap. Because I think the plot will be a big pile of crap.

I’m playing it and it’s a pretty decent thing, the next step after God of War me thinks, nice melee action, four different tipes of attack plus the blocking/ shield bashing and dodging. So far it fairs nicely…

@Brann, I am well aware of the difference between Jason and Achilles: watch the trailer!

Gee, I just played through Advent Rising last week on PC!
Despite some annoying crashes, jerky performance, some repetition in the middle part, terrible balancing and under-used powers (the timeshift power could have been a great mechanic for some jumping puzzles, but nooo!)……..it was silly, brainless fun.

Oh, back to topic: Trailer looked disappointing. I dunno, I liked the stuff that I saw before, but in comparision with all the other creative new titles out there it looks oddly generic.

“Is it just me, or do all the protagonists look really fucking stupid?”

Reminded me of Advent Rising, where you play someone who is basically a boy band member, in space.

This game should be available solely from Argos. It is only right and proper.

It’s sad when the news of the delay is
a) good, as I have too much to play anyways
b) heads up on the need to cancel a pre-order.

I don’t think I have big enough balls to play this game. Even the token girl had more testosterone coursing through her veins than I do.

I’d rather Ajax to Achilles, but I guess they’ve got their big bloke in Hercules.

Try watching the trailer Brann.

It’s a shame Achilles is in it. It’s not like the Argonauts roster was short of big name heroes. Squeezing the moody rock-star of ancient Greek myth in there seems a bit cheap.

Usually I’d be cheesed off that we have to wait for this, but I’m still backed up with games thanks to the recent glut.

Er… it’s not [b]Achilles[/b], it’s [b]Jason[/b] you silly Briton.
