If you're curious about that "Rise of the Argonauts" thing, you can <a href="http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/07/02/all-greek-rise-of-the-argonauts-footage/#more-2030">watch some videos with the developers talking about stuff over on ROckPaperShotgun</a>. Here's some text about the stuff they talk about:
<br>
<blockquote>Below the cut we have two brief videos from Liquid Entertainment in which they talk about the “Gods” system they’ve implemented in their new action RPG, Rise Of The Argonauts. The way in which you deal with the Greek gods effects how your character develops throughout the game, both in the combat moves he’s able to implement, and in how his experience allows development throughout the game. The trailers contain a mixture of CGI, in-game footage and man-in-T-shirt, so it’s not an entirely misleading glimpse of the game. (Sorry, feeling bitter from so many game-free videos recently.)</blockquote>
<br>
Going by the comments, lameness can be anticipated. There's <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/tv_video.php?playlist_id=11759">also some other stuff over here</a>. I think it's a trailer or something. I'll let you find out.

Kinda reminds me of Sacrifice where choosing to do missions for the gods gave you different spells and units along the campaign.

Watched the two "Gods" videos. Seem like some interesting concepts. Guess we'll see how they end up being implemented.

Yeah, if anything the game sounds promising but of course many games were also promising and ended up being disapointing.

Well for the punching in dialogue, it at least has better animation than Mass Effect did. And it makes more sense for Greeks to be extreme/insane.
