Shit’s been so hectic with life, love and XXL that I haven’t had the chance to freak the geek in me. I keep telling ya’ll PlayStation 3 is the superior console on the market. X-box Live keeps it funky with the exclusive titles but them Sony boys is smartening up though.

God Of War dropped in 2005 for the PlayStation 2. Craziest game of that year. Greek mythology tragedy of Kratos, former Spartan warrior so done with being used in warfare, plus mad gully, so much so that he makes it his mission to personally kill Ares the god of war. Seriously, re-read that. Kill Ares THE god of war. The story is one of the best ever, playing out on an epic scale and the gameplay, the visuals, so insane, so addictive, so brutal. Gorgons, Cyclops, Medusa, Zeus, all of that Greek mythology stuff packed into a classic title. Shit was so insane that my kids ended up getting A’s in they classes for their knowledge of that subject gained through hours of game playing. Then the sequel, God of War II (2007). More blood, more gods, more fires, also for the PlayStation 2. Both games not only had great storylines, the voice acting by T.C. Carson (Kratos) and Michael Duncan Clark let it be known that the main character is a brother. What’s better than that?

Sony just released both joints in one package, The God Of War Collection is both games remastered in HD to deliver eye candy on the PS3 console. Both them games is looking fresh and brand new again (except for the cut screens, especially for the first title). So much so that I’m actually replaying both, even though there’s other dope newer titles currently on the market for this ’09 holiday season (Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2, Assassins Creed 2, Grand Theft Auto: Episode from Liberty City).

As a bonus, the package comes with a code for the upcoming God Of War 3 demo, the game to be released in March 2010. Truthfully I’m not feeling the demo as much as the first two, especially since the artwork looks different, and the bit I played looked like there was more focus on making the third installment bloodier as opposed to better. I hope my first impressions are off.

If you never played either, please cop this. If you have played both, please cop this. If you need a great gift for that special him, or her, please cop this. Anyway you slice it, a bargain at the reduced price of $40.00. Two games for the price of less than one. Recession X-mas gift don’t have to ever be wack.

    I had copped GoW2 for the PSP. That shit was mad (button-mashing) fun. I’m s’possed to cop that PS3 for my born day in March, so I’ll have to play catch up.

    ‘Dante’s Inferno’ is dropping soon from the same team that makes GoW. You prolly wanna peep that too, getting good reviews

    Maaaan lissen, before you start a console war in this muh’fucka…

    PS3′s the superior machine. Undesputed. BUT, lets keep it real. Unless you’ve got cash to blow on one of those hugh 1080p tv’s, you’re not really going to notice the graphical differences.

    As for GOW, I fux with it, but I wouldn’t cash my 360 in just to get a PS3 to play in on.

    After I got my 360, my PS3 is collecting dust…until Yakuza 3 drops in English.

    PS3 is superior in specs only. Xbox 360 has clearly delivered over PS3. More games, more exclusives & better online service all equal a better experience. PS3 is just now starting to begin it’s stride. By the time it does, Nextbox 360 and Nintendo Wii+ will be in stores. I do believe God of War will be probably be the game of the decade though. The demo is sickening.

    xbox 360 for the multiplayer and co-op games, ps3 for the single player games and watching bluray movies, also both of em have the occasional exclusive, so cop em both like i did, oh and if you really have to, just save the money and glue two gamecubes together and throw your wavebird controller at the tv instead of buying a wii

    360 dont got shit on PS3… i got my PS3 last year and havent turned on my 360 ONCE since, matter of fact i gave my 360 to my little sister to play diney DVD’s on… First off 360 has a 53.8 FALIURE RATE, that means 22 million of the 40 million consoles Have already broken, and the numbers just gunna go up.

    Xbox dont have ANY GOOD exclusives. halo is trash and anything else is mediocre, or multiplatform. PS3 sold 4 million in the 5 weeks after thanksgiving. my homie tried to pick one up with his christmas bonus and EVERY spot was sold out within 2 hours of where we live, yet i walk into best buy and see a 6 foot tall pyramid of 360′s. Keep telling yourself 360′s better, you can do that or step your fucking game up and pick up the obviously superior console with a shitload of exclusives already out and more to come. its over for the 360, R.I.P.
