God of War sure looked like a great game and I'd been willing to get it since it was released. I finally got it for my birthday and was able to check it out, and I came to the conclusion that not only GoW is a awesome, but it's also probably my favorite game this year (on the PS2). Everything is great about it : gameplay, storyline, character (Kratos is so cool!), music, graphics... There are pretty much no cons!
Now I wonder how the movie is going to be like. I hope it's not yet another cool lisence, waisted...

Finally something new about FF XII! It was about time we had an update, right? Well I read GS's preview, and it kinda scares me... What I like about the FF series is that Square always tries to improve it instead of stagnating. Like the Materia and Sphere systems in FF VII and FF X respectievly, were great additions that brought so much to the gameplay. But I think that getting rid of the turn-based battle system is a major change that I kinda fear. However I might play the game and realize that it's great and wonder why thet didn't make this change for the previous titles. Wait and see I guess...
