Awesome, get on it m8.............its so good it should be illegal! :rockout: Right now, Im riding on GAIA whilst fighting Poseidan!!!!

I think its officail, the PS3 has now surpassed the 360 graphically.

Hrmm... Uncharted, MGS4, Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, and now GoW 3. I'd say Sony won the "best looking graphics" a while ago. :D

Thats only an handful of exclusive titles. Personally, I think its only now that the PS3 is showing its true colours. Most multi-platform games (360 & PS3) looked better on the 360, but now the game devs are getting to grips with the PS3's CPU :rockout:

I say it's a solid 11.. How they where able to develop this game into one Blu-Ray Disc just amazes me.. Right when I hit the first "soul box" I just was amazed..

I stopped at 11pm. :roll:

I know this may sound corny, but I found myself just staring in amazement at the textures n stuff on this game. It truly is a thing of beauty. Dont you think Kratos looks scarily realistic when hes squeezing through gaps and the camera zooms in?

GOW is one of those games that I just think wouldnt be able to be as good on PC, and plus, it honestly looks flat out amazing on the PS3 anyways.

Oh yeah, there is no way it would do good on computer. Be another GTA IV if they did it there..

I have to agree. Some titles just dont work on the PC.

Man, Hades was a pain!

First form was easy to beat. I really didn't need the extra health. But the second form, having to use his hooks, was a PAIN..

My god was he. I've got done playing threw the "demo" area. I like the fact that they did the Demo totally different, for the most part, to what the game is itself.

He probably means changing the button set up.

Man, Hercules was a PAIN. Worse then Hades ever was.. Have to
make sure he gets in rage with you in the right place so you can impale him into the thorns

I stopped at Aphrodite... I'll do that one tonight ;)

Two things to be aware of.

GOW demos always use abbreviated sections from the middle of the game. When you get to the demo area for GOW 1 and 2, it is 3 to 5 times longer and goes to areas you did not even know where there.

There is more story in God/Titan/This is complete BS mode on every GOW. The "surprise" about Kratos's heritage was revealed in GOW 1 on God mode.

I don't even own a PS3 and I am buying this game, just to complete my collection if nothing else.
