About Me

edit

I'm 25 and I like video games!!! I'm a cheap-ass about it so I rarely have the newest stuff.

I own NES, SNES, Dreamcast, GBA, GBA Micro, GBA SP, DS lite, PSP slim, PS2, and a 360 Elite.

Also a PC of course, and the best game ever is Starcraft.

I work at Gamestop in Westfield, MA. Most Gamestops arn't cool. Mine is alright.

Other than games, I like photography, graphic design and hiking/camping. My hobbies are expensive :-(

If you go to my website, I will make happy at you!

God of War: Chains of Olympus demo review
Spykron \| 11:02 AM on 01.07.2008	3 comments

I got a demo disc for the new God of War game for pre-ordering it at GameStop. I popped it into my slim PSP and had at it while waiting for my movie to start.

The graphics are pretty mind blowing for the PSP. They look just like the PS2 versions. In fact the whole game is just like the PS2 versions. The boss fights with the "hit the button" mini games are still there. The fixed camera angles are still there (and they still work well.) The only difference I noticed was the new magic system. I stole a spell from a Persian guy after i kicked his ass. The demo ended right after that, but I'm guessing you get your spells from bosses this time around.

So long story short, if you want God of War in your pocket, then this is exactly what you need. Doesn't look like anything very unique is going on here, but awesome non-the-less.

Sidenote: My hand started to hurt. I think the slim is too slim...

I agree. I got this demo in the mail a month ago; and was just baffled at the look and feel of the game. Now if only I could use a real PS controller, the game would be even better. I've had my PSP for a few years, yet still can't get the full hang of the damn analog nub and am too much of a lamer to mod the thing.

As we've seen with the Dynasty Warriors and Mario series, if a formula works, stick with it.

After playing the demo a few months ago, it got me hyped for the release of this game. I haven't really played a game on my PSP that made me happy with the purchase. Also, I hate that nub.

I got a replacement nub from Gamestop that helps. Just pop the old one off and the new one on. It makes it a little higher and it feels more like the PS2 nub. Win.
