    If they did, then they are idiots. I dont know, i wasnt working at GS yet so i wasnt subscribed. But Gameinformer is definitely paid off on a few of their reviews. They're the only "real" gaming magazine still in circulation so no ones going to bother crying foul on them. If you're a gaming developer, you need their circulation for your advertising, so cutting ties with them to call BS on their reviews would be bad business.

    Neither here nor there though. Gow3 looks epic beyond belief and im very excited to pop it in soon.

    I don't know, I really enjoy both of my consoles so I might not even notice a bias either way. One thing a couple of the reviews I've read had in common was that they both said the ending was going to be extremely epic.

    I just started this a little earlier. So far so good, the graphics look great, particularly when you go inside Gaia early on. It doesn't take too long to get into some battles with some pretty big enemies. The combat is the way we all remember it of course. The first new thing I've found you can do is grab a bad guy and use him as a battering ram. It's a pretty helpful move when you get mobbed. The scale used in this game as expected is truly impressive. Unfortunately a sinus headache stopped me from getting any more than about half an hour into it.

    About 7 hours into God of War 3 and I can say it's the best looking console game I've ever seen. Some parts are just stunning to the point where it puts games previously known for their graphical prowess to shame. This game is the business and well worth your $60... If anything, for the scenery alone. If you're playing in full 1080p you're in for the treat of all treats. WOW. The E3 demo does this game NO JUSTICE WHATSOEVER.

    Mor later (see what I did there?)

    I haven't played Uncharted 2 yet, but FFXIII on PS3 is amazing (visually).

    I'm not as far as you. I'm loving it so far, and I agree one of the best looking games ever. And like every other GOW very badass. Only about 4 hours in but.....

    Really digging some of these boss fights. Both the Hades and the Poseidon fights were amazing. I just finished getting Hermes shoes or whatever they are called.

    Credits rolling.... WOW. They did not disappoint. Just under 10 hours on Normal difficulty. Going to compete with Mass Effect 2 for GOY for sure. The only way to describe the last 10 hours on my PS3 was... Sex with Scarlett Johansson.

    That is all.

    Buy it. Rent it. Steal it. Borrow it. Do what you have to do to play this ****ing game. You only need it for 9-10 hours.

    What are you still reading this for?? GOOOO!

    This game surely has the best graphics seen to date on a console game. I was playing this yesterday thinking it probably put Uncharted 2 to shame.

    I just picked up this game tonight, and holy **** is it amazing. I just can't get over how it looks and that opener was so much fun to play.
    The way you see from poseidon's eyes as you kill him was a nice touch.

    However did anybody else get disoriented by the way the camera is constantly changing at a rapid speed? It gave me a headache.

    When I first started playing this I was blown away by the graphics. I am a huge Uncharted 2 fan but this is even better. Some of the visuals were so stunning I thought it was a CG movie or at parts even real. They've outdone themselves with this one.

    There are occasions where I have to move the control stick because I can't tell if it's a movie or me in game.

    watching Poseidon get his *** kicked through his own perspective was just genius.

    I have never shied away the brutality and gore of any game especially the last two GOW's. When Kratos would slice off someones head I would giggle in glee like a little school girl. (Yea I know I'm sick).

    But watching Kratos skull bash Poseidon to death was extremely intense, and even I was like woah. I attribute it partially to the graphical appearance making it seem so life like. Going for the eyes on the kill definitely gave me the chills though.

    I just got to Aphrodite (hehe). And this is by far the best visuals I've ever seen in a game. You know it's good when my gf, who hates games, actually stopped to watch me play for a few minutes.

    I would have loved a GOW 4, but I guess that'll never happen. At least it ensures the series won't be drawn out and bastardized.

    Oh yes it will. Kratos died several times throughout the trilogy. What exactly makes his death at the end of 3 any more final than the others? This is Sony's 'halo' and it'd just be stupid business not to make another game.

    Because this those times he was killed and brought back to finish a task and get his revenge. This was a sacrifice, and as he said his revenge was over. Also there were people to bring him back then. Athena, Gaia, who is left to do it?

    Im not saying it's going to make sense bro. :wink2: Just that it will happen. I mean really, the trilogy doesn't make a lot of sense. His revenge was on Ares in the first game and then he killed him. Then, in order to make GOW 2 and 3, they shoe-horned Zeus in as the villain.

    They made it make sense at the end of 3 though. Remember Zeus and the other god's were infected with the evils of pandora's box. That explains his fear and rage.

    just finished it tonight. like hardcore, it sucks that its over. i really really liked the usefulness of the other weapons

    as soon as i got the claws of hades, i used them until i got the neiman cestus things from hercules. those were awesome. then i finished the game with a combo of the electrical things and the blades.

    the electric ones were best in the second part of the final battle

    i have no clue what i want to play now. any suggestions in the same genre?

    Heavenly Sword is a solid game, have you tried that yet? You can beat it with a rental and its pretty fun.

    Dante's Inferno is a lesser version GOW. Not nearly as good, and pretty repetitive, but in the same mold. Def a rental though.

    And I really liked Heavenly Sword. They should've made a sequel to it. The combat was excellent.

    I read somewhere that they didn't sell enough copies to make a profit on the first one. I still think they should go for a sequel though with a lot more PS3s out there than when the first one released.

    Finally beat the 1st GoW. Now have to beat #2 before going on to #3. Hopefully I can beat GoW2 it by the end of the weekend.
