After picking up God of War on eBay recently, I popped it in and after playing for a few, I could tell why people were into this game like rabbits into carrots.  The game has amazing graphics and music and no shortage of gore and nudity.  But was it the game for me?  I went on my merry way through the game, the lead protagonist, Kratos smashing everything within reach, including various cheap ancient Greek pottery, and impressing various gods and goddesses, with his thirst for destruction.  I'll be the first to admit, that seeing Ares stomp Athens into little piles of Greek dust is freakishly cool, but after playing for awhile, I decided it just wasnt the game for me.  Oh its a great game in its own right and all, but I always miss a good roleplaying game, especially when I'm not playing one at the moment.
