| | | I'm not really familiar with Rise of the Argonauts but why so much hubbub over whether it will revolutionise the RPG genre? Might probably take a look at some of their trailers.

| | | I'm terrified when a game that wasn't going to show stats is about to take RPGs to the next level... What will that be? A shooter? |

| | | I watched the Comic-Con gameplay demos and based on that, it looked and plays very similar to Capcom's Shadow of Rome, an action hack-and-slash game which came out 3 years ago.
