Rise of the Argonauts (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
Release Date: December 16th

This has been a big holiday season thus far, but the month of December is lacking those big name titles that bring all the hype and publicity that we have seen from this year’s November releases. Enter Rise of the Argonauts. Though the game has not been huge in terms of hype, this could be one of the better action-RPGs of the season.

You follow your character Jason, who lost his soon-to-be wife on the day of his wedding, and now vows to avenge her death. The game takes place in ancient Greece, and allows you to fight alongside of mythological characters such as Hercules and Atalanta, guiding them into combat with blessings from the mythological Gods that watch over the world. We have seen some decent gladiator- and Spartan-focused games in the past, but with the solid storyline, action-oriented combat mechanics, and unique favor system this game implements, Rise of the Argonauts could be a standout title in December.
