Addicting GamesWhat are the excitements for the gamers when year 2007 begins? From sports, anime, adventure, fantasy, etc… 2007 is definitely another fulfilling year for gamers. So what are the excitements that would trigger the gamers? Let’s see…
God of War II
God of War II
God of War II is an upcoming sequel to the original God of War video game and is being released for the PS2. It is currently slated for a February 2007 release, which will be after the PS3 has debuted. God of War II continues the story of the original God of War.
Back at its best, the story picks up where players last left off with Kratos. Sitting atop his throne on Olympus, Kratos, the once mortal warrior, has become a threat far worse than his predecessor Ares.
Kratos is a ruthless God who will strike down on anyone who crosses his path or the path of his beloved Sparta. He sets out to alter that which no mortal or god has ever changed – his fate. Kratos’ journey brings him to the very edge of the Earth, facing countless beasts, monsters, and horrors from his previous life. But this is Kratos, and his defiance is filled with such arrogance and contempt that all of the Ancient World still trembles at his name: Kratos, the God of War.
Graphically, this game looks spectacular – and even surpasses the original game by the looks of it. We can also expect Kratos to have a host of new skills. For instance, gouging a Cyclop’s eye and lots of new moves with the ‘Blades of Chaos’.

Arthur and the Minimoys

In fact, the genius French director has also written four books in the series which form the basis of this movie and game. With a budget of US$80million, this will be the biggest European CG movie of all time – and with Besson in charge, it’s almost certain to generate a lot of interest.
In the game, players can re-alive the fantastic adventures of young Arthur and his two pals, Selenia and Betameche, in their mission to save the Minimoys’ world from destruction. Ten-year-old Arthur, in a bid to save his grandfather’s house from being demolished, goes looking for some much-fabled hidden treasure in the land of the Minimoys.
This is a 3D platform/adventure. As the Mnimoys are only milimetes in height, everything looks massive in comparison to the main characters. Animation is smooth. Other features are as follow:
• Game play is based on the concept of the “trio” – each phase of a puzzle or combat requires utilizing the skills of all three characters (Arthur, Selenia and Bétamèche).
• Each character has unique but complementary powers which players must use to their advantage. The three heroes have their own specific objectives, but they must also aid one other.
• Players can watch integrated scenes from the film offered in the form of parallel action phases.
This is fantasy at its best.
