The iPhone has become home to all sorts of apps; from puzzle games to calorie counters, virtual dice bags for roleplayers to iFart for, well, anybody really. Vanitas positions itself somewhere in the middle of all that as a zen-like experience with vague purpose. Effectively it is a virtual box of stuff.
There seems to be an unwritten rule in first-person shooters that your character has to have a stupid name. In Half-Life you play a bloke with a ginger beard called Gordon, in Halo; Masterchef (or something like that anyway), and in Modern Warfare 2, one of the characters you play as goes by the name of ‘Captain ‘Soap' McTavish.'
It's a well known historical fact, (i.e one you get off the telly and internet) that nobody actually did anything in Ancient Greece other than drink lots of wine and kill people. It's also widely known that they had proper Gods in those days, who didn't balk at the idea of throwing a lightning bolt at your face and then eating your family. Such is the dreamy past that the God of War games take place within.
