@Friedhamster: Yes, absolutely :)

Too complex for casual gamers, and for us real guitarists, well, we generally already have real guitars from good manufacturers that don't sell at WalMart!

@Strife Fox †: See, I played the GoW I demo before there was hype or reviews, and I fell in love with the series. I honestly think critics can ruin games due to their exaggerations. God of War is the best game I've ever played though, I love the story.

@Tpadz: There's a comment a little above this one with all the cutscenes from I & II, it'll be better if you watch them ;)

@jayntampa: Drowning in my saliva, thanks very much.

@excel_excel: Yeah, they won't top 1, even with III, but II grows on you after a few playthroughs, and it's atmosphere is probably closer to III due to the storyline.

@Friedhamster: If you haven't played the first two, rent. You won't enjoy it as much, or appreciate the story nearly as much. If you HAVE played the first two, buy, enjoy, cherish, love.

@TRT-X: Every one of them has their own texture/style/element and size, and they're all animated in a crazy way. There's one made of water, I think! Don't know if you actually play on him though, or if he's just in the background.

That Faith one is the cutest thing I've ever seen!

He should make a deal with Sony to work on that whole modern-day-temple-of-pandora-spin-off hinted at in one of God of War's bonus movies, as a downloadable title.

@Daftmouse: Have you read his blog? He's not at all egotistical, he's actually very modest!

@MacGyver1138: Still! We're getting a demo that's more than twice the size of a full game!

@Teran: Very good viewpoint, actually, Teran ;)

@GizChick: Surely rapists enjoy what they do? In that sense, they're getting pleasure from it, and so it's not gratuitous? Ah, forget it. This is a strange debate that's gone on for too long!

I truly feel that Portal is a game that doesn't need multiplayer. Most games don't, to be fair.

@Boom-Chicka-Ah: Here to Create a Star Commenter Empire: You DO fight him apparently, according to OPM UK. Not a happy reunion, they say, as Hercules is portrayed in a new light; a brother who is jealous that the gods chose Kratos, seeking revenge.

@GizChick: It's not really gratuitous when you consider the fact that sex and violence are the two most prevailing instincts in mankind.

@Chris Parnell: I think Apollo is the Roman god of the sky or something, where as Helios is the Greek god of the sun.

@Zolbrod: No, he started his exploits with women after the death of his family as a way to satisfy his lust. However, he's still angry as he cannot satisfy his love.

@dormin: Actually, Stig is right in his use of the word, he means they're not just putting really violent scenes in the game for the sake of it, they're doing it for a reason. Most likely to show just how angry Kratos is!
