t seems as though the underworld and all the evils that go with it are very popular themes in games these days. Clash Of The Titans is another such game, and in this version the player will assume the role of Perseus. Born from a god, but raised as a man, Perseus sets off on a dangerous mission to save his family from Hades, the god of the underworld. Hades is trying to seize power from Zeus and, with that, plans to unleash all hell onto the earth. The title takes on a Greek mythological feel, and player will have to battle Medusa and the ghastly sea monster The Kraken. But it won’t be a walk in the park, as the title will feature over a hundred other creatures to battle. The player will have the ability to destroy the environment to use it to their advantage. As far as hack-and-slash games go, Titans promise to be rather lengthy, boasting 15 hours of play, with over 100 side missions. The game is also based on the film of the same name, and the film looks to be something awesome. Although game adaptations have been better of late, let’s just hope that Titans will be among the cream of the crop. [Let’s not forget that the film itself is a remake… - ed] Titans will also feature a 2-player Local Co-Op, but sadly no system link/split-screen or online support. g
