God Of War
<div class="IPBDescription">Not mentioned yet, except from Athena?!</div> So, yeah, after some time, I ended up renting God of War. This game is like a mix of Devil May Cry, combined with what Prince of Persia: Warrior Within SHOULD have been. It's so amazingly, awesomely brutal. The first bosses death made even me flinch, it looked like it hurt so much.
The combat is amazingly slick, stylish, and gory. You can pretty much cancel out of ANY move for a block, or to go into another move, racking up huge combos, and it looks absolutely amazing.
The main character, Kratos is bloodthirsty, angry, and vengeful. Wow, like he's right outta Greek mythology. The story is fairly interesting, the voice acting generally good, and the music is absolutely amazing.
As far as gameplay goes, so far my favourite killing blow is on the Pandora Cyclopses. You run up, stab them in testicles, run behind them, hamstring them, run up their back, swing off a spike/horn thing on their back, stab the blade into their chest, then drop down and pull it down the length of its body, pretty much eviscerating the Cyclops. Anybody who owns a PS2 needs to try this game. It's really, really awesome. Even nudity is handled fairly tastefully, without hiding anything, or censoring the dress, attitude, and style of the era and area.

I have to say, with just a couple of very minor grievances, this is probably one of the best, well put together games I've played in a LONG time. There's also quite a few bonus things thrown in for once you complete the game (several "Making of" "deleted monsters/scenes/etc" type things, etc) that I thought were a nice addition.
It's just beautifully done in so many ways. The visuals are stunning, enemy designs are slick, combat is beautifully choreographed, and it manages to include the 'mature' adult elements (i.e. sexuality) without throwing it in your face or being explicit about it.
And let's not forget the violence. :S
Really? I got my mum PoP:WW, but all the naked grunting ladies made her sigh an awful lot. That sort of adolescent school-boy crap is very annoying. Gore's great, she's all for gore; it's just the soft porn aspect that sucks.
So what I'm asking is: are there a load of nekkid wimmen running around grunting?
Oh, and as for my progress, I'm just into the temple. Probably 50% through, now. Bloody Sirens unnerved me. Those bloody mouths.
and dont forget the sex minigame
Ahh well, time to go bloody some faces in Chronicles of Riddick. >_>
How old is your mom? And is she single by chance?
Glad to hear this game is good. The commericals made it seem like it might be half-way decent, and Tycho from Penny Arcade had good things to say about it too if i remember correctly. I'll rent it some time.
Also, can you actually do anything with the Nereids? When I was watching the making of, it looked like Kratos was forcibly restraining one from behind. O_o;
** Nevermind, I found the info. :x
