God of War 3 (PS3)

The best action-platform game of the year and possibly of all time has arrived. Kratos is back and Olympus is in his path. God of War 3 is here!

  
Followed by a neat opening credits sequence that recounts the previous 2 games in a tapestry/painting style, the gameplay throws you literally right into where you left off at the end of God of War 2. It's almost like you've simply inserted your second disc and continuing the second game. It's a great transition.

 

 Graphically the game is amazing. Movement and speed of the screen, actions, and characters are incredibly fluid and nice.

  The controls are still smooth and easy to pick up on.

 The action and fighting in this game is fantastic.Besides additional play throughs on the harder difficulties, there's also the Challenge Mode and the Combat Arena which you can only unlock by getting past all the challenges. You can also try enhanced play using various items you pick up throughout the game. However using the items during play disables your winning of trophies if you want to try for platinum. 

     "Of course I'm serious. This . . . is my serious face."

  This game delivers in every way. With how social videogaming has become with multiplayer, PSHome, co-op play, and other features, it's nice to get a game that simply delivers one of the best single-player story modes of all time.
