Kratos



God of War and God of War II have been beaten by me at my house. They are undeniably two of the greatest and most fun games I have ever played and I feel sorry for any stooge (and also poor/homeless/any other reasonable reason for not having these games) unfortunate enough not to own a PS2. I love that even now, with the PS3 out there, these guys made a PS2 game. And if it is the very last PS2 game I ever buy, I will have known that this system went out with a hell of a bang.
The best thing I can say about God of War II is that it is a worthy successor of God of War. Now, let's talk God of War III.
