God of War III

The second installment of the God of War franchise ends with one of the biggest cockteases in the history of gaming. Spoiler alert! After a fight with Zeus ends in a stalemate, Kratos gains the help of the mythic titans. We see Kratos riding on Gaia's enormous back as the titans themselves are storming Mt. Olympus, setting the stage for an epic battle to end all battles. And then the game ends. I can't imagine what it was like playing God of War II when it first came out and not knowing when I'd ever be able to storm Olympus myself. Well, God of War III is that epic battle in its entirety. From its sensational opening battle against Poseidon and his beasts of the sea to the finale when Kratos finally reaches the top, God of War III is solely the ascent of Kratos, during which he kills nearly every god and goddess left after the first two games. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed in this installment, it just takes everything great about the first two games and makes it better. This is simply a must-own for any PS3 owner (over 18 of course).

  1. Yes. God (of War) forbid a sixteen-year-old plays this game and is inspired to take a pair of swords to all his classmates.

  2. They have a sex mini game (yep) during which you see two onlookers' reaction shot to Kratos banging Aphrodite. Amidst their erotic ooh-ing and aah-ing they say "this is surely for mature audiences only!"
