Rise of the Argonauts revealed -- Jason wants royalties

Have you ever desired that Greek mythos found in God of War but wished it was wrapped in a role-playing shell? Seems you've got your chance -- Codemasters have come out and announced their new Action-RPG: Rise of the Argonauts, due out for next-gen consoles and the PC. Expect "deep exploration and brutal combat," says the Codemasters.

Playing as the mythical "hero" Jason (if you've read the classic myth, you'll know that he was a sissy... and his witch-lover Medea was the real brains behind the group), you'll team up with other Greek superheroes like Heracles and Atalanta (Not Hercules and Atlanta... plus, Atalanta was a woman). Details are sketchy, but they obviously don't want to stay true to the myth. No matter. As long as it's fun, we'll set those things aside. Details forthcoming!
