I've seen Scion books everywhere Heros Demi-gods and Gods I know its basicly the idea that the Old gods(titans) have broken loose, and the new gods(their children) are fighting them in their world, but the war has gotten into ours, and so the new gods take mortal consorts and have half god children, and they fight the war here.
What else can you guys/gals tell me about this game?

That's pretty much the long and short of the game as you've written it. Scion is something of a mix of Aberrant and Exalted without the Schlocky kung-fu Animu of Exalted and without the political axe-grinding of the Aberrant authors and reality-busting superpowers.
I haven't had a chance to play the game yet but I own all three books and after reading them, the game looks pretty sweet. I am sorely disappointed that they left out the single largest pantheon in human history, the Hindu pantheon, a really cool pantheon (the Chinese/Daoist pantheon), and the Native American pantheons.

Exalted Modern Epic Dex needs a bit of nerfing. MY DAD HAS A CROCODILE HEAD YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.

The Celestial Buerocracy was added in the Scion Companion, as were the Irish gods, Hindu, and Allied Pantheons (I am not making this up, you can be a Scion of Uncle Sam)

It's an interesting game and a very interesting setting. You really need to sit down with the players though and make sure everyone makes a character of roughly the same power level. As mentioned previously one character with Epic Dex can totally unbalance the game. My group discovered this in game as one character basically became captain I win.
