Internet Gaming Gate has a new 3D MMORPG for all you PC gamers out there, called 'Gods War.' This Hellenistic MMORPG has been kept a secret for quite some time over at IGG, a company that has made tremendous efforts of coming up with a compelling MMORPG without saying a word about it.


Basically, Gods War Online is a fantasy-themed game based on Greek Mythology which trace back to the Age of the Demigods. Players will finally make an accurate impression of the Hellenistic culture and civilization, meeting all the significant gods. The developer has hired only the best artists to improve the game's graphics and user interface in Gods War. Majestic Sparta City is a good example of scenes presenting a characteristic physiognomy - the isolated desert, forested meadow and creek, gloomy swamp and sunny beach etc.

Gods War includes all the features that gamers would expect from a good MMORPG, with various systems, fascinating plots, esthetical scenes, customized character development, exciting combat mode and a great online gaming community.

The developer has also released a preview website of Gods War Online, (launched formally on May 20, 2007), being created in a style similar to the game itself. Gamers accessing the game's site will find the latest news and extra pictures about Gods War Online and find out about hot stuff about the development process. The site will also enable gamers to communicate, of course.

Don't be fooled, this is no God of War, but it's equally good in terms of Greek Mythology and heroic characters. However, what I don't understand is why the game is so "originally" entitled Gods War. I mean, we get that development was kept under wraps and stuff, but how long have they been working on it? And even if that were the case, couldn't they just change the name right before finishing development on it? Maybe it's got a lot to do with the storyline, who knows...?
