Reboot fever has moved beyond movies to video games. 

The latest installment of the God of War franchise looks more like a reimagining than a sequel, at least according to the reveal trailer Sony showed off during its E3 press conference. 

Set in the wilderness of Scandinavia, instead of Ancient Greece like past games, the trailer shows off the bond between a father and son as they hunt together ... and fight 20-foot-tall trolls. 

If the rumors are to be believed, this new game, titled simply God of War, will take players through Norse mythology and maybe into Valhalla itself. Sadly, you might want to strap on your furs and throw some wood on the fire, because this game might not ship for awhile.

I have done neat stuff all over these United States from sailing lessons on the Puget Sound to motorcycle maintenance on the backroads of upstate New York. My professional experience extends from newspaper reporting in the mountains of Eastern Oregon to fixing espresso machines throughout Kentucky. I also have kept a cat alive for 10 years.
