A Few Quick Thoughts On God Of War III

(SPOILERS!)
The fights with Poseidon and Hades are EPIC. Poseidon's is due to the sense of scale and the fact that it takes place on Mount Olympus and Gia herself. The fight with Hades is brutal, visceral, and pleasantly tough.

The sex is there and it's better than ever.

The fights with Hermes, Hercules, and the death of Hera are disappointing. Hermes is my second favorite God but in this game he is reduced to a wisecracking speedster who goes down all to easily. Hercules is hands down THEE epic hero. Seeing him likewise reduced to little more than a mini boss is saddening. I can't help but feel that Hera's death, which takes place entirely in a cut scene, is a missed opportunity.

The ending is LAME. Unfulfilling and confusing. Which is a shame because overall this game is a wonder to behold.

This installment was better than the second game, inferior to the first. But it like the entire series stands head shoulders, and even torso, above almost every other game out there.

God of War's Spiritual Ancestor

It's true. God of war is a spiritual descendant of the good old NES's

Perhaps you may recall the box art better than the title screen.

This was a great game for the NES. It was ahead of it's time. It was also hard. No mater how hard or how long I tried I never beat this one. But it was good.

Good games on the PS3

That is all.

I say this having just bought a PS3. And I'm kind of wondering why. Now first off I am not interested into getting into a fanboy debate of x-box vs. playstation. If you like one more than the other fine. I currently prefer the 360. In times past I have favored both the PS1 and PS2.

But right now this is how things stand for me. The 360 came out first so I bought it first. When games came out on both systems I would naturally buy the ones for the 360. Until recently there were not enough PS3 exclusive games to warrant my purchase of a PS3. Yet I could see the need for a PS3 was approaching. GOW III will be on the PS3, and that's a must have for me. Heavenly Sword was a great game. I was lucky enough to play it on my friend's system. So I've ordered it along with my new PS3. But there isn't much else going for it. I hear Infamous is good, so I'll give it a try. And when the Batman game comes out they say that you'll be able to play as the Joker, but only on the PS3 version. So that's a plus.

Outside of that what does PS3 have? For me nothing. Just those four games, two of which aren't even out yet.

Oh and by the by, I played MSG4 and was not impressed. Not at all.
