God of War III (PS3)

 

 

The God of War franchise is undeniably awesome. The setting and storyline are epic, the gameplay is nearly flawless, and Kratos is one of the most badass videogame characters in existence. Even on the lowly PSP, God of War: Chains of Olympus was one of the best games of 2008. Sony's Santa Monica studio is taking the reigns again for God of War III -- the first installment in the series on seventh generation consoles. Built on a brand new game engine, God of War III promises larger-scale battles than in previous GoW games, a new weapon system, and of course better visuals than ever before. Kratos seeks vengeance on the gods of Mt. Olympus in this final chapter of the God of War story. I'll be on his side.

Im looking to armed assualt 2, and operation flashpoint 2.

Yeah, Op Flash 2 should be good, it looks amazing and as long as the new devs keep the spirit of the original alive I reckon it'll be a hit.

Ehm seriously.... i can agree with assassin creed though the first one wasnt very good....

But seriously where are game such a Diablo 3? Starcraft 2? DoW2? The Sims 3 anyone :P ?

Simple answer, Leo: Eddie's not a PC gamer.

PC gamer or not, but, dude, Blizzard sequels are already guaranteed to be the biggest hits of any year. Starcraft 2 is one of the biggest titles of all time in anticipation, and Diablo is not far behind...

Though I'm not sure either one will be out next year.

Short answer - I never "anticipate" rts, regardless of platform. They just sort of happen.

Longer answer:
Diablo 3 - Excited about it, just not as much as the others.
Starcraft 2 - I played a lot of the original, and the novelty wore off. I'm sure it will be a fine game, I'm just not drooling in anticipation for it.
DoW2 - Just not interested. I'm more of a Warhammer Fantasy kind of guy.
Sims 3 - Cool, another Sims, but it's hard to get excited about.

PC gamer or not (and I play plenty on my PC), these are mostly games for tinkerers, something I'm not much of.

God of War and Bioshock are what I'm looking forward to. Oh yeah...
