Rise of the Argonauts comes out on Xbox 360 on December 16, 2008 and it looks pretty cool if you like role-playing games.  The plot basically follows Jason, the Greek king, and his Argonauts on their quest to find the Golden Fleece.  You’ll encounter familiar names and characters like Hercules, Achilles, Perseus and King Leonidas.
Jason’s wife, Alceme, is killed and the only way to bring her back to life is to find the Golden Fleece.  Naturally, it’s not going to be easy so you will have to help him in his journey.  Here’s the official trailer:

I have a few of the Scene It? board games but I have always found them a bit awkward.  You have to go from regular questions to fiddling with the DVD player for visual clues/questions and it just irritates me.   That’s why I find a game like Scene It?

I love sports but I must admit that I do not normally play basketball video games (I typically stick to hockey).  However, this game, NCAA Basketball 09, which is being released just in time for the holidays, looks like something I’d be willing to try. 
I love the fact that the player goes through an authentic process from being in a Division 1 team to receiving scouting reports.  You can even choose a pre-game strategy to control the style of play you use.  Coaches even provide feedback in real-time.
EA wanted to make the game more realistic so they have improved …read more

Olympic gold-medalist, Shaun White, collaborated with Ubisoft to create this awesome snowboarding game which will be released on November 16, 2008.  Shaun White Snowboarding allows you to customize your gaming experience in a way that is fitting of this extreme sport.  You can create your own paths or attempt to conquer the extreme peak conditions.  To make it even more realistic, you can do runs on mountains filled with real gamers (or your friends!), learn tricks and, after earning enough points, you can even play as Shaun himself.
One thing that I find super cool is the fact that you …read more
