Situation Play – Easy
My Comments:
Finally finished the God of War trilogy this past weekend; by far the best video game ever created in my estimation.Â
Not being a big time video-game -head, I was blown away by this PS3 game over a year ago when I was deployed to Bahrain. It was then that I first came across Kratos, the mere Spartan warrior leader who, after essentially selling his soul to Ares, the Greek God of War, was tricked into murdering his family by his new master. Kratos in turn, aided by Athena, and the tacit support of other gods, namely Zeus, was able to secure his revenge.
Really great journey and very cool treat to play. I did played the trilogy backwards, so I did loose a bit of the normal anticipation; but the absolute awesomeness of the game more than made up for it.
Story:
The story is told mostly in flashback, after being framed with a scene from the present wherein Kratos, standing atop the tallest cliff in Greece, laments how the godshave abandoned him and tosses himself into the waters below.
While the player starts the game three weeks prior to this event, Kratos’ background is told by the Narrator during the game (revealed to be the Titan Gaia in God of War II). Kratos was a fearsome Spartan warrior, and grew his fifty-man squad into an army of thousands via strategy, tactics, ferocity and conquest. However, in a battle against a barbarian horde, his army was massacred, and, in a desperate measure, Kratos offered his life and service to Ares, the God of War, in exchange for Ares defeating the Barbarians. Ares, sensing enormous power in Kratos, accepted his offer and destroyed the Barbarians. He also granted Kratos the Blades of Chaos, curved blades forged in the pits of Hades that were attached to long chains which were fused to Kratos’ arms.Â

Started playing this game yesterday – it like playing a movie; you can’t wait to get to the next scene. Â The difference here is that you determine what the next scene is going to be. Â I am big GOW fan, but this is really good stuff.

Here is the story line:
Heavy Rain is a cinematic and evolving thriller from Quantic Dream, the developer behind the critically acclaimed Fahrenheit. Dealing with a range of adult themes, the game revolves around a sophisticated plot and strong narrative threads that explore a complex moral proposition. You assume the role of multiple characters, with very different backgrounds, motivations and skills, in a world shaped by Bending Storylines – a dynamic narrative design where your actions and decisions will shape your story.

Borrowed the God of War Collection from a friend after purchasing and beating God of War III. I am currently on my final battle with Zeus, hope to beat him today. I will update below when I do.
Situation: Playing – Easy!
Here is the story line:
In God of War, players take on the role of Kratos, a Spartan warrior. Plagued by the nightmares of his past, the ash covered warrior would do anything to be free of his debt to the Gods and the memories that haunt him. For ten years he has labored for Olympus, now on the verge of losing all hope, the Gods have given him one last task. Destroy Ares, the God of War. Armed with the deadly chained Blades of Chaos, Kratos will have to overcome armies of mythological monsters, legions of undead soldiers, and dangerous and brutal landscapes.
In God of War II, Kratos sits atop his Olympus throne, as the new God of War – far more ruthless than Ares ever was. To end his continued torment, Kratos must journey to the far reaches of the earth and defeat untold horrors and alter that which no mortal, or god has ever changed…his fate.

Before playing God of War, I was the typical Ms Pacman player…now I am a believer. This is great stuff. Â Purchased it at the end of April and beat it 4 weeks later. Â I was stuck in a couple areas for a week at a time. Â Â I think if I had a free week I could see myself playing all through the night. Very addictive!
Situation: Beat it on Easy
Here is the story line:
Set in the realm of Greek mythology, God of War III for the last time puts Kratos at the center of the carnage and destruction as he seeks revenge against the Gods who have betrayed him. A single-player game, this final chapter allows players to take on the climatic role of the ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos, as he treads through the intimidating heights of Mt. Olympus and the dark depths of Hell once more to seek revenge on those who have betrayed him. Armed with double-chained blades, Kratos must take on mythology’s darkest creatures while solving intricate puzzles throughout his merciless quest to destroy Olympus.
Utilizing a new game engine built from the ground up and state-of-the-art visual technologies, the development team behind God of War 3 have made significant strides in giving players the realistic feel of actually being on the battlegrounds. With texture resolutions being quadrupled since God of War 2, God of War 3 will feature fluid, life-like characters, as well as dynamic lighting effects, a robust weapon system, and world-changing scenarios that will truly bring unmistakable realism to Kratos’ fateful quest. Players will have a chance to join battles on a grand scale with many more enemies on-screen and be able to interact with levels like never before.
