Rise of the Argonauts - Playstation 3

Iolcos is a small island in the Aegean. Protected by those who worship Zeus, it is a idyllic place with not much to worry about. At least until the wedding day of King Jason and his future Queen Alcmene for which many dignitaries from all over the world arrived - including Jason's longtime friend Hercules. But instead of celebrating the event with them, the Moriens had other plans, attacked the palace and killed Alcmene during the ceremony. Now Jason is really pissed and wants revenge. But the journey is long and at the end he has to face a dark prophecy.

The player slips into the sandals of Jason and watches over his back and controls him in a traditional Action-Adventure fashion similar to games like Rune (only without the jumping) as he roams the lands, speaks to the inhabitants and fulfills their requests while always having his main goal in mind. Of course Jason isn't just all about walk and talk. He has many enemies that want his death but three different types of weapons (swords, maces and spears) as well as his trusty shield assure that he can defend himself. Jason can switch with one button press quickly between all weapons, allowing him to do powerful combos by combining both the normal attack with the stronger, more brutal, executioner move and some of them have special abilities like knocking down all of the surrounding enemies which are activated by a two-button combination.
