Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I'll get HeartGold for me (played Silver as a kid), and SoulSilver for my wife, followed by God of War III, and Dragon Age Awakening is pretty awesome.
Can't wait to play Resonance of Fate. Somehow I need to work in Perfect Dark, rent Metro 2033, and still manage Yakuza 3 and FFXIII. Infinite Space interests me too, but I doubt I'll have money for it.
This is what all the 360 fanboys get. I have been waiting and waiting for this day to come... Everybody crying because PS3 has God of War III. it just has way better exclusives. Hands down. Shouldn't have turned on Sony and went 360. Lol. Or stopped being such a fanboy. Be a gamer and have all systems. Like a man. :D
I'll be getting Pokemon right after exams and GoW3 in the summer. Right now I need an online shoot badly!! It's looking like Bad Company 2 whenever I get a chance to hit up the stores.
Today is all about God of War III. Period.
Time to go get a Kratos Flury Slurpee(Ha! Ha! I'm fucking serious) and wait, patiently, until midnight. Maybe some vodka.
K1NG J0RDAN, I own a PC and 360. Lately I have been leaning towards my PC. As you might have read, I am planning to buy Metro 2033, but you ignorantly assumed I would buy it on 360, whereas I will purchase it on PC (shiny graphics and mod support). Bad Company 2, Metro 2033, Mass Effect 2 (have on PC and 360, lol piracy), all games I prefer on PC. Your elitism, fanboy idiocy, and general ignorance continue to amaze me.
I'm playing through God of War II in the God of War Collection to prepare for the GoW III on Tuesday. This is my first time playing the God of War Series (never had a PS2), so I've been having a blast. Incredible how good these games are.
Looks like a great week for games. I'm not going to pick up God of War 3 near launch I'll play a few other games and then pick up God of War 3. When I started playing God of War 2 it took up like a month of gaming time.. awesome game but its such a big time sink you barely play other games.
For sure play the first two, if you can pound them out fast enough. The plot all interconnects, so you'd be hard pressed to understand what was going on in the 3rd on if you don't play the first two.
God of War Collection is dirt cheap almost anywhere and is well worth picking up for that purpose. I just finished GoW1 for probably the 10th time since it's PS2 release and am doing a God of War 2 run...these games are beyond fantastic.
I love how everybody hates on something I was joking with. And to go as far as to say i should die, is pathetic. I was JOKING. Hints the LOL and what not after my posts. I am no fanboy, just a gamer. Jesus. People on the Internet are absent minded.
Shadowiii, at least spell my name correctly. Dumbass. Enough hate. We are all gamers here, folks. Let's just have a good time with it, and discuss gaming.
The 360 got the superior version of Bayonetta though, a game that does literally everything better than God of War 3 beyond graphics. God of War games honestly just completely suck when it comes to gameplay, they're so shallow and simplistic, and really don't have much else to offer.
bayonetta blows. That's every persons excuse who can't play gow 3. Bayonetta this, and bayonetta that. F#%k bayonetta. Kratos will rip her arm off and beat her undersized head with it:)
God of war redefined action gaming as we know it. GoW III will do the same for this gen of gaming as well. I seriously can't believe you just said all that. kratos is the most badass character in all of gaming. Period. I hated bayonetta, so that doesn't concern me. (: oh and nice one PappaDukes... Lol.

Needless to say, I'll be buyin infinite space very soon. Well, that and fragile
Playing Through Soul Silver right now.
And I'll buy God of War used someday.
Damn right that rhymed.
Also soul silver.
Metro 2033 is neat as well but rental territory right now.
Resonance of Fate is what I'm really excited about. Hope against hope that it's awesome.
Time to go get a Kratos Flury Slurpee(Ha! Ha! I'm fucking serious) and wait, patiently, until midnight. Maybe some vodka.
And dammit, SMT: Strange Journey next week. My DS will be seeing some serious attention for the next few months.
God of War 3! Tomorrow is going to be an epic day. Also, I think Artemus is onto something with the Kratos Fury Slurpee. :P
Fragile, Resonance of Fate AND Infinite Space are out this week?!
Too many games!1

Not too enthusiastic about RoF after Tri-Ace's last couple disasters. Kind of want Infinite Space but I don't really know anything about it.
I want to read some reviews about Resonance of Fate before I make a decision.
I've always been a sucker for C&C games but my laptop can't handle this one. I'll wait until I upgrade in a few months or so.
How's your Japanese? There's been a Resonance of Fate demo on the Japanese PSN for a while, if you can access it.
*spooge*
That sounds like an awesome day.
