God of War is a sensational game. Go and buy it. If that opening recommendation isn't enough read on, but I guarantee that if you do play this game you will come to exactly the same conclusion as me. God of War is one of the highlights of this current

Not only does God of War have great gameplay, but the developers have done an awesome job with the graphics and flourishes of detail, and the sound, speech and music are all of the highest quality too.

The art of ass kicking in video games has grown decidedly stale over the last few years. It’s almost as though designers don’t realize the worth of a good badass anymore. Every now and then we’re blessed with the occasional Ninja Gaiden or Halo 2

You are Kratos and you will murder the God of War. Kratos is a troubled man. His past is not one of happiness. The brutality and murder by his own hands has caused the Gods to plague the mind of Kratos with those very horrors. While the nightmares are

If you like buckets of blood with your action, puzzles to lose sleep over, platform stunts that give your gamepad a serious workout, FMVs that threaten the safety of your eyeballs and monsters that leave saliva on your face then God of War is the game

It probably goes without saying that when you’ve got a game and you’re going to fight the Gods, there can only be one word to describe it: epic. God of War is that game, and it is indeed epic. You are Kratos, a servant of the Ares, the God of War.

Every once in a while a game comes along that blows everybody away. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time did this, and now Sony has captured lightning in a bottle with God of War. Set against the backdrop of Greek mythology, the story is of Kratos, a mortal

I'll be honest here: as much as I read about games and constantly play them, I had no clue that God of War even existed until other sites' reviews showed up heaping massive amounts of praise on it. Even though this shows how clueless I can be about

Just RPG
There's no getting around it, God of War is definitely not for kids. The game features nudity, sex, and a whole lot of blood and gore that make it a no-brainer why it was branded with an M rating. God of War is one of the bloodiest games I've played in

Possibly the best first-party game to ever come out on the Playstation 2. That’s a tough thing to say with Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper and Gran Turismo out there, but it’s simply the truth.

An in your face, kick butt, super game that offers some of the best graphics, sound effects, and action ever made in a game to date. The art direction is amazing, and the game is facilitated by a story that will recapture audiences.

Piece by piece we get to swallow the dramatic adventures of Kratos, a Spartan warrior and the hero of the story. Before long we get to know the terribly story of the lead character who since the beginning of time has had to do the God's dirty work. Tired

God of War is, quite simply, one of the most ambitious games of 2005, and one of the best action games ever made. It is a graphically violent game full of death, chaos, and sexual content. If you are younger than 18, we suggest you stay away. SCEA Santa

While it’s not perfect, it was definitely worth the wait and successfully melds several different kinds of gameplay together and binds it all up with an open-ended storyline that doesn’t quite end as you might think.

God of War's been on our most anticipated titles list since we first saw it demoed in early 2004. Imagine a title which combines the best aspects of Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry, and it's easy to understand our enthusiasm. It travels back to ancient

Sony Computer Entertainment Studio Santa Monica's God of War brings something the PS2 needs. With a library of games saturated with sequels and 'me-too' titles, God of War is a refreshing change. But it is surprising to find it from the studio that

Playing out better than any modern day adaptation of Greek mythology possibly could, God of War puts players in the shoes of the god-killing anti-hero Kratos (Cratos with a C is a mythological character representing strength). After seeking Ares, the
