God Of War: Chains of Olympus

Updates: new god of war chains of olympus albums, videos, and pretty soon my review of this game.

Just by how this game looks i can tell there's gonna be at least 6 more god of war games, then if not then the god of war fans will have something to complain about.

comparisons: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider vs. The God of War games

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider- I remember when this game first came to the Playstation, the graphics were horrible, the game play itself was alright i mean it wasnt nothing to get bent out of shape over. But, then as the years went on and computers were getting more and more complex with newer software and hardware these game companies stepped up their bargain and released Angel of Darkness for the PS2 that game right there proved that future tomb raider games will be more realistic and have that kind of gameplay where you feel as though your playing as Lara. But, now that Crystal Dynamics has gotten their hands on the Tomb Raider games its only a matter of time before Crystal Dyanmics and Edios say Bon Jour to Lara.

God of War games- These games have definetly given the PS2 and PS3 a newer outlook. I mean before God Of War was even thought of the PS2 was just a video game console and now look what is becoming of both consoles. In my opinion i think the PS2 and PS3 are better than XBox360, with xbox 360 and the regular xbox the games for those consoles suck, the viewing on those games is horrible, the graphics suck ( i hate to know what kind of graphics cards Bill Gates is using), the gameplay for all xbox and xbox 360 games is just awful. I would never waste my hard earned money on either of the consoles. The God of War games like i said have added definition to the PS2 and PS3, when these games were first introduced i couldnt wait to get my hands on a copy of the first god of war not to mention the sequel GOW 2. If your a hardcore gamer and want variety then play GOW 1-2 first then after you figure out the neverending puzzle between Kratos and the Gods/ Goddesses then warm up your PS3 and get to playing, only then will you see how advanced the God of War games are getting. Just think, this year David Jaffee probably already has a storyline for GOW 4..let's see how the sales of this game does then we can discuss GOW 4.

new god of war chains of olympus images on my page

i just uploaded new images of god of war chains of olympus.. these images are from the PSP..but i'm sure the images are even better on the PS2 and PS3.. as soon as i hear anything for more updates for god of war chains of olympus concerning the PS2 and PS3 i will post it.

god of war chains of olympus

This game is definetly an upgrade from the first two god of wars. I think this game is more wide open, the levels are more of a challenge to figure out as opposed to the first two god of wars, where the levels were an introduction to what was coming up in future god of wars. And, they did it with this game, i give this game 10 out of 10 stars, because this game has definetly given the PS2 and PS3 consoles a whole new meaning of gaming.

If I was to sit here and really explain in detail how the first two God Of Wars really connect with each other I'll be here all night. But, i wont bore you with details, but what i will tell you is if you havent played either of the God Of Wars for your PS2 then what are you waiting for.. get in your car and drive to your local video game store and buy the first two copies of the God Of War games and get ready for Kratos' unbelieveable journey from the vast mountainous terrains to the Greecian Desert to the deepest darkest pits of Hades. Oh, one more thing you just might want to do me a small favor and get ready for some mind blowing bosses and monsters that will have the hairs on your neck and arms stand straight up on end.. just thought i let you know that bit of info..

Anyway, getting back to the God of War games.. when i first played God Of War the game itself to me was complex and easy to manuveur, but when it came to figuring out the puzzles i was lost.. but thank god i studied Greek History in high school and college.. otherwise if i hadnt then i probably be still playing the first God Of War. But, if your a hardcore fan of Greek History then this the game for you, hey who knows maybe these games will help you past that Greek History exam you have to take.

Here's a brief detail of the God Of War Games:

1.) God Of War1- The game starts out with a cut scene explaining how Kratos was the youngest Commander of his Sparta Army. After that, it jumps to a scene where Kratos is about to get an ax driven through his skull, when he summons Ares from Mount Olympus, to defend his enemies and in return offers his soul to the murderous God Of War. In the meantime Kratos betrays his own Spartan Army to command his new Lord's Army. While Kratos was worshipping Ares, Kratos goes on a killing spree that involves innocent Greek Villagers, his humanity robbed, everything he had ever known was taken away from him. In his path of destruction his wife and young daughter were killed. Realizing what he has done Kratos is cursed by the Village Oracle to wear the ashes of his dead wife and daughter for all eternity. After this, he betrays Ares and ventures to destroy the God Of War with the help of Athena the Goddess of Knowledge and Intellect, she helps Kratos to find the one historical artifact that no man has not been able to claim Pandora's Box.

2.) God Of War2- The opening scene in this game is rather intense because Kratos is trying to explain to Athena that he no longer needs the help of the Gods who promised to rid him of his torment. But, Athena feels Kratos will abuse his new powers and everyone in Sparta will succumb to his destruction as the new God Of War. After he decends down from Mount Olympus to aid his Sparta Army in battle, he then in turns betrays Athena and she strips Kratos of his new powers, bringing him to a mere mortal, after he defeats his own Sparta Army, Kratos looks towards the Palace of the gods and sees the Blade of Olympus, the same blade that defeated the Titans during the Great War. Once he retrieves the blade, he must destroy Colloseus a pure gold statue that overlooks the Greecian Sea, after he defeats the statue, Kratos, who is battered and bloodied by the statue, once he nears the Blade a cut scene comes up where Kratos tries to defeat Zeus, but the God of Lightning is too strong for the battered and beaten Kratos who is later stabbed by Zeus and sent to the darkest pits of Hades. Before Kratos descends out of the pits of Hades, he talks to Gaia ever present mother earth, during their cutscene Gaia tells Kratos that he is no coward and that only a coward excepts defeat. After kratos tells Gaia that he is no coward, she heals his stomach wound and he prepares to escape the pits of Hades. While on his journey to find the Sisters of Fate, Gaia warns Kratos that he is no longer the God of War and that he must retrieve the very blade that holds his powers. Towards the end of the game Kratos must find the right string to find out why Zeus betrayed him.

3.) God Of War The Chains Of Olympus- After two decades Kratos the once Commander of a Sparta Army, is still plagued and haunted by nightmares of his trecherous past. This game leads Kratos to new journies to reclaim the life he once had. After, he defeats Zeus, Kratos is still figuring out what is keepin him from being the man he once was. In the first God Of War, Kratos' humanity was robbed, his life was stollen, his family was caught in his path of destruction, his Army turned against him, everything he once knew was completly erased. Now, he is on a quest to reclaim all that was taken from him. When, the trailer for this new God Of War comes out i will post it on my game playlist.
