I have written about the idea of digital download of games before. I mentioned that GameStop’s days are numbered unless they figure out a way to deliver these games over the internet before someone else figures it out.

You are about to die when a goddess named Freya (you may know her from the story of Beowulf) approaches you and brings you back to life, bestowing you with magic powers to lead the human army against the demon hordes from the underworld.

I couldn’t find sh*t to write about so I decided to go look for new releases on gamestop.com (I’m such a whore!) and I ran across this game.
