Literary fans have argued endlessly which brand of mythology is the best ever told in man's history. There's never been a clear answer to that, but Focus Home Interactive is giving you a game called Loki to help you decide. Offering four mythical backgrounds, the game gives you the chance to run through four distinct realms: Egyptian, Aztec (American Indian), Greek and Norse.

Even the way you run through the game will be determined by your taste. You will choose to play as one of four character types. You can be a brazen Norse warrior, an Aztec Shaman, an Egyptian sorcerer and a Greek fighter. This trailer highlights the power-play style of the Norse Warrior, and it looks like those giant spiders and mystic wolves will get one vicious clobbering when the group's resident brute gets his hand on them.

Like other PC RPGs of its kind, the game will sport a barrage of items that will aid you in your quest. Mummies, skeletons and harpies can be a pain in the neck, and bosses like Medusa and Fafnir can be downright deadly if you don't have the right gear. Fortunately, Thor's Hammer and Achilles' Armor along with other legendary trinkets will be there. Hands down, Loki is one of those PC releases that you can't afford to miss.
