Norse Mythology
There are a gazillion games out there based on Greek mythology. There's yet another billion based on the Japanese lore and still a crazy amount with the Chinese version.
And let's not forget all the ones with christianity in them.
I want more games with Norse mythology, damn it! We got characters that are just as cool as the Greeks and we got gore, blood, betrayal, giants, snakes, wolves, dragons, castles, love, horses, axes and the coolest beards ever!
There are even some great games on Norse mythology. How about Max Payne, huh!? Or Rune!
Now, enough with the Greek minotaurs and in with the Norse ice giants!
Arcade, over and out!

Too bad that Viking – Battle for Asgard sucked. :-/

I hope you’re not forgetting the Final Fantasy series. Midgar, Ragnarok, Odin?

Shiiiiiiiit Rune was an awesome game! Give me a sequel or something close to it!

@James
Actually, I haven’t played it myself yet, but that’s what I keep hearing.
@Marco
I would never! Without Ragnarok we wouldn’t get Ultima in Final Fantasy VI. Well, if you chose the sword, you still don’t… Stupid decision to make.
@Widunder
Yeah, Rune was really great back in the days! The gore, oh, the gore!

@Austin Cook
Yeah, great game! (Was on sale on Steam a couple of days ago as well.
It has an interesting twist and use of Norse Mythology.
