God of War

Another late post. I was too busy playing and beating God of War 3. I played it on normal mode and ended up missing a lot of the items, so I might give it another run, or perhaps try hard mode.

For the most part, I was very happy with this game. The God of War folks have found a pattern that works extremely well and they do it correctly. I tried the Dante's Inferno demo and it was missing something. Don't know what though. That's neither here nor there though.

I liked what they did to the magic system in GoW3. No longer do you have to upgrade your magic and your weapons separately. Now, there is a single spell for each weapon and as you upgrade the weapon, the spell gets stronger. The Cestus is definitely my favorite. When you punch somebody with it, it really feels meaty. I would like to get better with the whip though. It has some ridiculous combo potential.

Even on my crappy television, the graphics were really good. Textures and landscapes were great. I can't wait for my new TV to arrive so I can see my games in the way they were meant to be seen.

I didn't know you were getting a new teevee. What kind? I myself am thinking about a nice big one. I used to think big tvs were dumb but now I have a ps3 and I changed my mind.
