Amazing visuals and fast-action gameplay deliver a true cinematic gaming experience.

The Titans, gods before the gods, have escaped from their eternal prison to wreak havoc on the world. In this titanic struggle between old and new gods it is the heroes of humankind who will ultimately determine the fate of all existence. The player quests throughout the ancient world in a race to uncover the secrets needed to once again imprison these ancient gods. Journeying to fabled locations such as the Parthenon, the maze at Knossos, the Great Pyramids, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the player will have to overcome terrifying monsters and mythical beasts. A flexible class system allows almost limitless ways for the player to develop their character. Skills can be customized in many ways, and never become obsolete. With addictive, fast action gameplay and tons of unique loot, epic gaming has never been so good. Brave the trials of Titan Quest alone or bring a group of friends to share the glory while playing through the thrilling story-driven campaign.

Titan Quest: Immortal Throne	THQ (Iron Lore Entertainment)	2007	Continues right from where Titan Quest left off, somewhat smoothly transitioning your victory scene on Olympus into a troubled Rhodes island. An improvement over the base Titan Quest in that the various quests are more varied, no longer endless permutations of "kill this" even though that's still quite common. Most notably however the boss monsters are much more interesting and perhaps the best part of the whole game.***[b]req-swapfile[/b] - can be disabled by adding line [code]`skipCompatibilityChecks = true´[/code] to file [code]`Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne\Settings\Options.txt´[/code].
Loki	Focus Home Interactive;Crimson Cow (Cyanide)	2007	PL 2007-09-07 by Techland*securom7 - only in Chinese release"Loki" is a hack 'n' slash (action/RPG) and it is, by far, the studio's most ambitious project to date. However, it is not the first incursion into a fantasy world as the subtle blend of humour and haemoglobin in "Chaos League" met with popular success. A fantasy voyage through the great mythologies, Loki allows the player to take on the role of one of the 4 heroes of the game, each drawn from a different mythology : a mighty Norse fighter, a fierce Greek warrior, a powerful Egyptian magician or an Aztec shaman who masters the secrets of the spirit world. Whatever hero the player adopts, he must come to the aid of the gods he worships. He will come to realise that behind the chaos that is threatening his world lies Seth, the Egyptian god of darkness and evil, who has returned from the kingdom of the dead. The hero must therefore undertake an epic journey across the various epochs and myths. He will fight a multitude of monsters of all shapes and sizes, and even overthrow a few gods, on his way to preventing Seth establish his wicked reign. Main Features An epic adventure across 4 great mythologies – Aztec, Egyptian, Greek and Norse – allowing the player to live through many of the key episodes that mark these cultures (the siege of Troy, Ragnarok, ......) and setting him in the path of the most prominent figures within each episode (Achilles, Thor, Akhenaton.....) * Choose from 4 different heroes with radically different attributes and powers. Each hero has a vast array of spells and skills to help him through his quest. * More than 100 monsters of all shapes and sizes * Dare to take on mythological creatures that struck fear into the hearts of our ancestors (Fenrir the giant wolf, the Minotaur in his labyrinth, .......) * Innumerable story lines through random generation of decors and items, so that nobody lives the same experience and allowing the game to be played many times without the hero ever having the same set of weapons, armour or spells. * Weapons, being made of two parts (loosely "handle" + "cutting edge") and from different materials, can be customised at the village forge to change characteristics. Magic runes, found along the way, can multiply a weapon's power. * Live through the adventure with friends in cooperative multiplayer mode or fight in single combat against friend or foe in PVP mode on a battleground.

Theseis	? (track7 games)	2009	Andonicos Kalogerou is a man devoted to science and the war against superstition. From his office in the historic centre of Athens, he has worked diligently for more than 5 years, travelling all over Greece and revealing the paranormal for what it truly is: drunken fantasies and uneducated hysteria. But his intelligible, safe little world is going to come crushing down when a call from Pheve, his adopted sister and fervent advocate of the mythic, informs him that his step-father is not only missing, but presumed dead as well. With a heavy heart, Andronicos travels to the place of his childhood, high atop the Greek mountains, to bury an empty coffin and reunite with his quarrelsome step-sister. Little does he know that each step irrevocably brings him and Pheve closer to what Destiny has in store for them. For the death of their stepfather heralds the beginning of the greatest struggle between good and evil with the prize being nothing less than the very future of this world. From the hidden network of caves beneath the Greek metropolis, crawling with the remnants of a bygone age and the treasures of the past, to long lost places of legend all over Greece, Andronicos and Pheve struggle to uncover the pieces of an ancient conspiracy, kept secret through stealth and murder. But what they find could well be just the tip of the iceberg. For beneath the cover of shadows and time, a great power lay dormant, waiting for the time when it will once again come forth to the light of day, back amongst the people where it belongs. Awe and dread, humor and split-second decisions, discovery and betrayal, the mythical and the mundane, are all intertwined in this fast paced crossing to the other side, where your only allies are the discarded rumors of ancient folklore, dubious medieval books and above all your wits! Features * A griping storyline that places you in a Greece full of marvel, danger and back-stage scheming, just beneath the surface of everyday life. * Play with both Andronicos and Pheve as they race against men and monsters to uncover the secret of Theseis. * Frantic action and intriguing puzzles. Challenge both speed and wit in every corner of this dark fantasy world. * Colorful characters and localities, ranging from neo-classical buildings to the grim depths of Hades. * Innovative customized new power graphic engine, built specially to portray the full glory of Theseis' stunning environments. * Dynamic original music score.
