The past couple of days have been slow for me. With GoW3 coming up, I've been saving money so I don't have to wait to play it. I am usually quite careless with my money, which shows my anticipation for the game.

I haven't played the GoW games in a while, although I bought the collection back in November, I haven't really gotten around to play it ... Until now. When I first started playing, I didn't really expect to play it that much seeing as how I've finished the first game about a dozen times, but once I finished the magnificent intro sequence with the hydra, I couldn't put down the controller for the next 5 hours. What strikes me is how great a 2005 game holds up today. Sure, there are flaws, like how some spells are pretty much useless, and most of the game takes place in Pandoras Temple, but overall, it's a treat to play and the game is very polished, despite some minor issues.

The next day I began GoW2 which is far superior to the first one. Better puzzles, more diverse combat and environment, longer and many more. I spent roughly twice as many hours in this, than the first one, but the quality and entertainment value never seems to drop which is rare in these sort of games.

It's only a couple more days now until I get my hands on the third installment in the series, and I honestly can't wait. From the gameplay footage I've seen, this looks to be even bigger (scale wise) than the other, and with the advanced technology of the Ps3, It ought to be INSANE! I hope this is the end of the trilogy, and that Kratos will, finally, get his vengeance on Zeus himself.

I still don't quite get how he can kill the gods, though. Wasn't the big thing with the first game that he had to find pandoras box to beat Ares? Does the rules suddenly not apply, or maybe the developer just don't really care if it contradicts their own rules. Who knows, the Greek Mythology is messed up enough as it is, so maybe I should stop asking questions and focus on what really matters. Kicking some serious god damn ass.
