    "I'm Kratos, Destroyer of Gods, and my game is pretty good too!!" 0

    “Chaos will reign supreme". The tag-line of the God of War finale says it all, within mere minutes of playing, the world is launched into utter chaos. Which can only mean ONE thing, Kratos Is back, and his mission is far from over. But is Kratos’ 3-game vengeance fulfilled or is he only a mortal man?Story:What is arguably one of the more creative and entertaining stories of the last couple of generations, GoW III continues Kratos’ tale and finally ends his bloody rampage and quest for Zeus’s blo...

    A cinematic thrill ride that never misses a step 0

                    It is always difficult to keep a franchise fresh and exciting from sequel to sequel without drastically changing the formula. What were once game play innovations are now commonplace in a sea of lookalike titles that attempt to capture the magic of their competition. Yet, the risks may be too great in reinventing the formula, and the legion of fans that once fell in love with the first game may not take too kindly to an overhaul of their favorite series.  The original God of War...

    By the Books Polished Beauty 0

    If God of War (GoW) III could be summed up in one sentence it would be the ones titling this review, but it probably can't, so here goes: GoW III is like a dim friend who makes you feel good about yourself and takes you to exciting places you don't go to alone, but when you do hang out you can't help thinking you should be more mature and stop hanging out with them lest you brain become as poorly nourished as their own. In other words this is a God of War game that plays just like a PS2 game but...

    Worst ending to a trilogy? 0

    First off God of war 3 is the same game as one and two just longer.  i really wanna see the original ending they had for this game, cause they ending they did have flat out sucks, they just took the cheapest way out possible after spending the entire game playing kratos who is an a-hole to the 30th degree he suddenly becomes a pansy at the end.  beyond the ending, length and the stupid quicktime button events to kill off mini bosses and big bosses, this game was the same as the first two but wit...

    It is time for you to satisfy your inner rage. (nerd) 0

    Finally, the long awaited end to the trilogy is here….how’s it hold up for me? 10/10….yeah I said it, deal with it. The Good – Let me get this outta the way right now, no, this game is not perfect, nor is any game. The problem is, a lot of cats assume a 10 means just that, to them, I say grow up. Since no game is perfect, then what’s the point of the 10 score? I’m going go with how great I thought my experience was, however flawed it can be. Continuing the Greek mythology themed sto...

    Kill 'em All - God of War III Review 0

    God of War III arrived with sky-high expectations. For one, God of War II sits comfortably near the top of many "best of all time" lists. Beyond that, it is also the first next-gen title in an enormously revered series with a rabid fan-base – anything shy of amazing would be a huge disappointment.  It’s kind of like being the guy that had to follow-up Michael Jordan.  How the heck do you deal with that?Right from the get-go, God of War III doesn’t pull any punches.  The ending sequence from God ...

    A Great Way to End the Trilogy 0

    The God of War series has been one of the Playstation’s most beloved action franchises since it began in 2004, and it’s not hard to see why.   With its fast and brutal combat along with a dark and twisted version of classic Greek mythology, the series has cemented its place in the action video game pantheon.   Now, God of War III is upon us, which concludes the violent trilogy and Kratos’ seemingly endless quest for revenge against the gods of .   While the game can be described as safe from a d...

    Kratos is out for blood... again. 0

    The God of war series (for me) has been an interesting one. On one hand I absolutely love the first one from top to bottom. But I found the second one a little cluttered, with too many mindless box/switch puzzles. So where does the first one lie? well, let me first say that I really hoped that the final installment ( as far as I know) of the Gow trilogy, would recapture the amazing pacing and balance of the original. And GoW III does just that, to a certain extent. My absolute favorite thing abo...

    Gorgeous, hilariously savage, but lacking any true innovation 0

    Let it be known that after the release of God of War III, the practice of upgrading graphics and carrying over the same tired mechanics shall be known as... SUCCESS! At least as far as the market is concerned. Yes, this journey with Kratos through the trenches of days-old warfare is a beautiful one, but the same frustrations from the first two games in terms of combat and mechanics (quick-time events are lazy gameplay tricks and need to be innovated on before... oh, it's too late) have been carr...

    Angry Kratos is Back For the 3rd Round 1

    When I started playing God of War 3 it grabbed my attention straight away. The opening scene is exciting with you on Gaia's back climbing Mount Olympus going to kill Zeus. This is the part where the game shows its amazing camera zooming out showing a breath taking view of the whole world. After watching the breathtaking view you reach to the peak of Mount Olympus  meeting up with your father, Zeus. Then you get betrayed by Gaia and you fall back to the Underworld and you have climb back up to Mo...

    GOW 3 review: applesauce hj. 0

    http://defconawesome.com/2010/04/god-of-war-3-review/    I had never played a God of War game before this one, so I didn’t know exactly what to expect when I cracked this sucker open. What I ended up getting was game play that felt like a modern take on Zelda and Gauntlet and a plot that felt like it was created by a think tank of 13 year old boys who can’t watch a UFC bout or look at the woman’s section of a JC Penney catalog without shaming themselves in the eyes of their lord.      The game p...

    Going Out With Style 0

    Some people I know did not like the way this game ended.  I on the other hand really enjoyed it.  I am glad they closed the book and decided not to run this title into the ground like other companies.   Let me start off with a rating system of VISUALS 9, SOUND 10, CONTROLS 9, STORY 9.   The gameplay we remember from part 1 till now has not changed in any form.  This game is easily recommended if you are a "hack and slash" fan.   Pending on your need taste of replay value this game has some.  It ...

    God of War III: Kratos needs a spanking 1

    The God of War series, as was mentioned in the main review of this page, is about epic battles within grand scale environments. And God of War III DOES NOT disappoint. In all honesty, God of War III felt like it was made by the David Jaffe team of the first game - which is saying alot. But the game doesn't go without flaws or annoyances. The most annoying flaw I found within the game is the inability to open treasure chests. Sometimes, but not all the time, Kratos will attempt to open the chest,...

    Definition of badass! 2

     God of War 3 is hands down one of most amazing, epic action games ever made and it will stay at top of that list for some time, since i don't see any game/studio being able to mimic some of amazing set pieces done in this game for few years at least. Officially God of war 3 had huge budget, 44 million $ to be precise and it shows. For most part game is absolutely stunning looking and nothing comes close to it on console market. Shear amount of scale, combined with incredible texture detai...

    quick review 0

    i felt that god of war 3 was the best in the series, it looked amazing sounded great and played pretty good too. but what it came down to me was it was more of the same and i would have liked to see them try and put a fresh spin on it somehow. i really like how they added the buttons on the side of the screen that matches up with the button pad, simple touch but it made those Quick time events feel smoother. overall the game is great and if u own a ps3 its a must have but if you have played the ...

    God of War III Review 0

    God of War III marks the end(?) of Kratos’ revenge saga. The only game of the series not on the PS2 (unless you count Chains of Olympus on the PSP) features a dramatic upgrade in visuals, but gameplay-wise isn’t much different, and that isn’t really a bad thing. I will admit upfront I haven’t played the second game in the series, because the first game frustrated me to the point I almost never wanted to play a God of War game again. I’m sure glad I brought myself to play the third installment, ...

    Perfect End to one of the best Trilogies Ever!!! 0

    From beginning to end the game hooked me just like the previous entries with its presentation, combat all the way to the end of the game. This was the first game n long time that I played for an solid 9 hour play through. Yes, the game is that good. The combat can be deep if you try. The game however, can be a button masher to those that don't try. I found the combat more fluid that the previous entries. I especially loved switching from the Cestus air launch to the the bow and then to the Blade...
