Totally disagree. I think the III boxart is some of the best I've seen in a while. Simple, straight-forward and eyecatching.

I'm with you. Screw that generic comic book shit. I think it's on the inside artwork under the disc... so the people who want something different can just reverse the cover. Or print a custom.

I said it's a pretty long game, and it's over 10 hours. I think Dogenzaka was the one who reported beating the game in 18 hours. Others have beaten it in 12 or so. Like I said, the game's length varies depending on the player. Besides, 12-18 hours is long for a game like God of War.

Took me 17 something hours to beat it in God difficulty. I'm currently trying to finish it in Titan difficulty before Tuesday. I just got in the Atlas level with 12 hours in.

So, who else is done and wants to talk about that ending? :lol

I'm pretty sure I kept punching him with a solid, blood red screen for over 30 seconds.

In preparation for the release of GoW III I have began playing through GoW Collection. Never played it before!

Having a fun. I finish GoW I earlier. Some of the puzzles made me want to murder something, though.

Now on GoW II - just arrived at Creation Island.

Aren't the LE guides rare or something or am I making that up? My local Gamestop had 3 extra copies to sell after their preorders got filled.

professionals[...] seem to agree that God of War 3 is a game that has some nice graphic climaxes in certain areas that Sony was happy to use in screenshots, trailers, and in demos; however, the actual God of War 3 game is filled with plenty of graphic lows that don't look good at all. In fact, several reviews pointed out that you spend far more time looking at "good" graphics than "great" graphics.

Those that have the game: any credibility to this?

I thought that came from a review. But no, it's from some random comment at Edge Online by a guy trolling GoW3. Why even ask if it's credible?

So the God of War lawsuit from a few years ago has been dismissed

Sony Computer Entertainment and game designer David Jaffe have just put one such nuisance to bed after a California federal judge threw out a copyright infringement claim by two individuals who said they conceived the idea behind the game "God of War."

In the lawsuit, Jonathan Bissoon-Dath and Jennifer Dath claimed they submitted two treatments and two screenplays concerning a Spartan attack on Athens and the resulting series of tasks initiated by the Greek Gods to restore peace. The story roughly describes the mythology involved in the founding of the Olympic Games.

We'd like to imagine Judge Patel sitting in her chamber playing PlayStation for hours; however, it appears she relied heavily on plot notes and expert analysis. The discussion of similarity generally goes something like this: "While violence is not absent from plaintiffs' works, it lacks the thematic centrality and intensity seen in 'God of War.' For instance, plaintiffs' protagonist refuses to kill such an 'amazing animal' as the rampaging Nemean Lion and instead transforms the beast into his 'tamed pet.'"

For anyone who has the retail game, I was wondering, does Kratos still have the Icarus lift move? In the demo it was L1+X but it sounds like that command has been reassigned to another function. Does that mean no more cool ass vertical jump with wings?

:lol Figured that's what it was, someone else thought of just switching out the copies of regular with their sealed Collector's in hopes of returning it. SCEA places a "NOT FOR RESALE" in place of the barcode, so unless the person at the register was blind..no go.

I've seen plenty of games with the tag "NOT FOR RESALE" in the back of the game case for sale at my local Gamestop. :lol

Hi guys, our review if anyone is interested. Reviewer found it too violent but lots of fun:

God of War III is one of the most violent and gruesome games I have played since Manhunt. Even the violence depicted in the first two games pales in comparison to what you will experience in God of War III. During the course of the game, I actually started disliking Kratos as he goes on a spree of mindless violence... I appreciate that this is a story about a God of War and violence is to be expected; however at the end of the day, there has to be something left to fight for...

So, is this the game for you? If you are expecting all that was the God of War games on the Sony PlayStation 2, but at a much grander scale, then you should get your copy of the game immediately... God of War III is quite simply, a relentless and an epic bloodbath from the start, right till the credits start rolling.

For someone who has very little patience for difficult action/fighting games or difficult platforming, is God of War III worth playing? How hard is Normal difficulty, and is there an Easy?

I got a few levels into Ninja Gaiden Black on easy but it got frustrating, I don't like losing 20 times in a row to the same enemy. I managed to beat Devil May Cry 4 on Easy and Normal though, with some difficulty on Normal.

Oh well it sucks but I had the feeling that's how it would end. I guess the build up is more important than the reveal in this case. I almost had a heart attack when I realised what I just read where GOWIII spoilers, I was doing so well avoiding them. :lol

From what I hear, Normal is manageable with some difficult spots. And there is an easy mode to choose from. The game even asks you if you wanna lower the difficulty if you die enough times; which I find insulting to be honest. :lol

Giving you the option to drop the difficulty if you die too much (or giving you access to a difficulty slider at all times) is one of the best innovations in gaming. So many people never finish games because they get stuck somewhere deep into the game, and don't want to restart from the beginning on an easier setting.

I think a lot of the appeal of wRPGs like Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Mass Effect are because they have a difficulty slider than can be adjusted any time you're not in combat, so you never have to worry about getting stuck on a battle that's too hard, but you can set it so that it's still a challenge for you personally.
