This game looks semi-tight. Comes out March 23rd.
Viking: Battle for Asgard, based loosely on Norse legend and written by Rhianna Pratchett (Heavenly Sword), daughter of acclaimed fantasy author Terry Pratchett, looks as if it might give Norse mythology the shot to the arm that games such as God of War and films such as Jason and the Argonauts did for Greek mythology. Viking also follows on from the success of another Scandinavian action story, Beowulf--complete with evil goddess Hel, who bears a passing resemblance to Grendel's mother, as portrayed by Angelina Jolie in the recent re-imagining of the Anglo-Saxon legend. The game is Creative Assembly's first next-generation title.
