Out of the way Zeus...

Pros Amazing visuals, Fresh take on the "Hack-and-Slash" genre.
Cons Lackluster puzzles, No Co-op, Camera
Recommended it? Yes

God of War has been critically acclaimed just about everywhere, it has been named the best game for the PS2 and many other mighty comments. I couldn't agree more, however, dull puzzles and a rather awful camera take away from what could of been a flawless action game.

Cons a little short, but easily fixed by replaying on different difficulty
Recommended it? Yes

I'm not even sure where to start this review. I heard about it before it came out but only in some newsletter in emails and such. Then my boss told me that I absolutely must play this game because it is one of the best games for the Playstation 2. So I rent it and I absolutely love it. Although I... Read full review »

Pros Music and Story
Cons Camera, some monotony
Recommended it? Yes

It's been called "Game of the Year." "The most anticipated PS2 game of 2005." "10/10." "Perfect." With praise such as these, there's no way that anyone cannot like God of War (GOW). According to the video game industry, this is an instant classic and should be placed in the hallowed hall of video... Read full review »

Pros Brutal Gameplay, great graphics, epic story.
Cons Some sexual themes, but nothing further than that.
Recommended it? Yes

Overview:
I've heard a lot of hype on this game from various gaming sources. So I figured I would give it a try. The price wasn't bad at all, which kind of made me nervous. I thought
an epic game would be a little more expensive. But I popped this little miracle and was blown away.

Pros Great setting, fun combo system, amazing PS2 graphics.
Cons Main story is only 12 hours long. Some balance issues.

With its fun combo system, beautiful levels, and unique story, God of War places itself among great third person action games such as Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden. A few flaws hamper the...

God of War is one heck of an adrenaline rush. The shear immersion of the game is astounding, and you will be left feeling completely devastated by the wake of God of War. If you play this game- Sit down, shut up, and prepare yourself for a roller-coaster ride of intense, heart-pounding action.

Pros Lots of action. Awesome graphics.
Cons Lots of button mashing to the point it can make your fingers sore.
Recommended it? No

This is really a beautiful game. But it is also a button masher. I can see that its lineage as being those button mashers from the arcades. I could see this game racking up the quarters because though at times it is very forgiving there are other times where it is TOTALLY unforgiving. I do have... Read full review »
