What?!?! I only just started playing it now? Well, yes, I did. It’s a long story but basically had the game sitting here but nothing to play it on.

So anyway, my initial impressions are pretty good. Has the same feel the previous games did, but there are even more moves now. I particularly like being able to grab people with the blades at range and then charging at them while pulling them into you. Stuns them pretty good. And you have some damn good moves when you do get a stun. You can grab them and then use any of the buttons to do different individual moves, from just punching them in the face to smacking their heads against something hard, to using them as a battering ram and running into a bunch of guys.

Come here!

Graphics are good, but unfortunately I’m stuck using an old CRT TV . A LCD or plasma would be nice, but my hip pocket says otherwise.

Story is only just starting to develop but seems solid enough so far. The double cross I guess seems like a shoe in for a cliche backstab situation, where Kratos finds out he is being used, but it had to happen.

But anyway, we play these games so we can charge into fifty guys, swing into a combo of room smashing moves and leave blood splatter all over the walls, not for the story. And as far as I have played, GoW3 delivers on all fronts. It’s bloody, it’s violent, it’s awesome!

To the ribs or groin? Decisions...
