"...everything in God of War serves a purpose and adds to making the overall adventure exciting, fun and frustration free (unless of course you're feeling masochistic -- and that's what God Mode's for). The action and adventure elements are both at the top of their game and merge extremely well. With all the talk about next-generation systems coming soon, God of War serves as a good smack-to-the-face reminder of why this generation doesn't want to be left behind."
 
GoW has been getting so much hype and praise that now I'm thinking people (read: idiots) are gonna be disappointed with anything less than their ultimate wet dream of game.

Eh, whatever. The phone is coming off the hook on Wednesday around 10:30am after FedEx gets here.
 
I've got to get my hands on this game.

I probably won't be able to get it right away, since I've got so much money allocated to PSP right now. I really wish Sony had distanced the release of this game from the PSP launch for just that reason--it's possible some people won't be bothered to look at the PS2 shelves because of the PSP release hoopla. I hope Sony continues to push the game in the months ahead.

In any case, the review scores are very encouraging, and I will surely get this game at some point in the near future.
 
God of War wins. I offer my penis unto thee, David Jaffe.

I've been so fucking psyched for this since it was announced.
 
That's it, I officially deem this game as my first completely blind purchase ever. I've barely even seen any screenshots of this game, have no idea what it's about, and have pretty much never even been in a thread about it, but nonetheless, I'll be picking it up Wednesday.
 
Sigh...I so picked the wrong time to join the cheapass gamer camp. Fucking God of War, DK Jungle Beat, RE4, Mercenaries and probably about 10+ other titles I could name if I could be bothered. It wasn't meant to be this way. Q1 = shit games where I can catch up with those dropping in price from Christmas.

Must be strong.
 
I can't bring up 1up.com @ home for some reason (on either computer on my network no less!). What's the score? 10?
 
GIMME GIMME GIMME!

It shall be mine come release day.

I've been waiting for the next great action game after NG. BACK OFF DMC3 WHORES!
 
Great. I was afraid of disappointment (cause the E3 demo was hot shit to begin with) but now I am sold. Add another game to the queue.

Ninja Gaiden and God of War will stand as the two best action/adventure games of this generation!
 
I knew it would own since E3 last year.

This will come to be known as the best game of this generation.
No hype. Truth.
 
I just hope Sony doesn't fuck up how they market GOW. This game needs to be jammed down the consumer's throat because it's a new IP.
 
RE4 and God of War. Step up Xbox.

Boy that was fun. But in all seriousness, we're not even 3 months into this year and we appear to have 2 games as good as, possibly even better (cue MGS3 death threats) than, anything released last year. And last year was awesome!

Haven't seen the commercial?

It's fucking badass.

Greatest game of the generation? Hardly it is a great game but let the dust settle, it's a solid 8.5 (9 when you throw in the extras). It will go down as the most over rated game of all time. I promise.

Eternal Darkness, hello?
