God of War II. The end. Nothing else matters this week. Not even, you know, eating.

Also released this week Xbox 360: Call of Duty 3 Gold Edition (has an extra DVD as well as an extra map pack or something).



Only game im actually looking forward to playing is the Tiger Woods on Wii, just out of curiosity of how well it will play. God of War 2 would interest me had I ever played the first one.

Was I the only one that wasn't absolutely in love with God of War? I mean it was a good game, it was fun, and I am going to get God of War II eventually, but it wasn't the best game ever. The puzzles alone and the fact most of them were actually bad are what actually made the game no so great for me.

No xbox 360 games? I thought we had agreed the drought was only speculation and scandal.

...Oh wait!

As I told Futuris last night, seeing 300 in IMAX twice this weekend has given me a massive hard-on to tear shit up as a bad ASS Spartan.

Then, as was alluded to above, we're blessed with God Of War II this week. I may now tear shit up as a bad ASS Spartan.

FOR SPARTA!

this is for twesterm and i also heard someone on this site or another talking about how they disliked the puzzles in God of War...

If you didn't like the puzzles in God of War, go and buy Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider is God of War with 0 puzzles and a dubbed down combat system.

The puzzles are half of what created God of War. How were the puzzles bad? Cause they weren't terribly complicated? I thought it was a good mix of a great combat system and some puzzles to break up some of it up.

yeah....the game isn't so great but it shows you what God of War could've been like WITHOUT puzzles.

God of War 2 has Progressive scan on a PS2 right? cause the first one does and I remember that report about how on a PS3 you get 480p.

I've had Tiger for the Wii reserved for weeks. Drinking Tiger this weekend will be epic. (for those not in the know, get 3 folks together, do four player tiger, drink for every stroke above par you are, everyone else drinks for each stroke under par you are. Trophy balls are socials.)
Spectrobes looks awesome though. But I'm still engrossed in Super Robot Wars W and Lunar Knights is still next up.

I'll be picking up nothing. Mainly because I'm trying to spend as little money as possible leading up to my PS3 purchase on Friday.

Blindside, yes is supports WS and 480p on both ps2/ps3

You don't play them for the puzzles but the game wouldn't be as good without them....

when people say puzzles its not really too much puzzling...

environment puzzles are much less a mind puzzle and yes they add fun, but they aren't the challenge that some people here puzzles may be frightened from

"A big contender for game of the year" - I find it mildly hilarious to find that statement directly below an article about how video game reviews suck. So you've played through it, and it's that much better than the original? Is a same-gen sequel going to outperform two next-gen sequels in MGS4 and Halo 3, both of which claim to signal the end of their particular iterations. Not to mention the original titles coming out this year.

It's only march, let's ease up on GOTY predictions.

they just stated it is a contender

which if you have any common sense GOW2 is one of the top 5 of the contenders for GOTY easily



also, ya video game reviews are pointless

summa good point, but show me a game listed that innovates..... maybe paper mario cause it uses 3d but differently..

mgs4 halo 3 ssm galaxy, all exact same things yet tweaked

innovative term is thrown around inaccurately in the game industry, as suma gets thrown around the mexican women

as a person who loved clash of the titans, that clip made me giddy to play God of War 2. i cant effing wait!

JamesSorensen: Thats a good point, none of the "big games" this year seems to care too much for innovation.

Mass effect, sounds like it will be a good candidate for Game of the year, Bioshock sounds ok (although looks "meh" to me) Mario Galaxy.. hmm maybe, but what are the chances of it beating Zelda? Metal Gear Solid 4 is definetily a likely contender.

I got my call from Gamespot telling me that GoW2 will be in stock tomorrow evening. Can't wait.

galaxy is going to be better than zelda. it's an actual wii game not a gc port, first of all. second of all, mario has always been better than zelda.
