How do the heroes of Anglo-Saxons compare to the heroes of today's video game industry?

Myths and legends have always influenced the way we believe, and how we saw things. Most myths were told about a great hero who was great yet had flaws just like every other human. They were usually sons and daughters of great Gods or Goddesses who had to prove themselves. They have always been around and they always will be. They're like a piece of human history that will never disappear.
Even today myths still have great influence on our mainstream culture. Many video games have been based upon myths. Games such a God of War, and Prince of Persia are based upon myths of different cultures. They are just like some of the heroes in different myths.The heroes have the same issues such as a monster destroying a village, or someone wanting to take over the world, etc. The main difference is the heroes of todays video games may not have an actual major weakness like Achilles and his heel, or Samson and his hair.The games have the magic,all the fighting, and almost the same plot as the myths. Creatures such as fairies, and dwarfs come from the European cultures, as for dragons they come from all cultures and myths. Most fiction authors of the day derive their writings from the old myths and legends that have been told for years. Usually if their book is made into a movie it is almost definitely made into a video game.
After all the hundreds of years stories about heroes hav estill existed. Yet as old as they are they still have such a great affect on todays society. Just like they were used for entertainment then, they are used in the same way today. The heroes that are portrayed in the myths will always continue threw the ages and will never die out. They will always overcome their human instinct and defeat the monster and rescue the damsel in distress.Whether its sitting in front of a television screen pushing buttons or sitting around a campfire exchanging stories, they will live on forever.
