      God of War is an award-winning, critically acclaimed and bestselling action-adventure video game series loosely based on Greek mythology. Debuting in 2005, the series consisting of six games across multiple platforms with a seventh currently in development has become a flagship title for the PlayStation brand. The main trilogy – God Of War I, II, and III – was developed by Sony's Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 video game consoles. Ready at Dawn developed the PlayStation Portable installments – Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta – which were also published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Capcom published both PS2 installments and Chains of Olympus in Japan. The mobile phone Java ME installment – Betrayal – was developed by Javaground and published by Sony Pictures Digital. As of 2012, Santa Monica is developing a new title – Ascension – for the PS3. The series has also expanded into a franchise to include other media, such as a comic book series – God of War (2010–11) – and two novels – God of War (2010) and God of War II (2013). A film has been in development since 2005.
      In addition to the individual games, two collections featuring remastered versions of both PS2 installments – God of War Collection – and both PSP installments – God of War: Origins Collection – have been released on the PS3 by Bluepoint Games and Ready at Dawn, respectively. Another collection –God of War Saga – released on August 28, 2012 for the PS3 features God of War I, II, III, Chains of Olympus, and Ghost of Sparta. With the exception of the mobile phone game, God of War: Betrayal, every installment in the series has been released on the PlayStation 3 and each main installment was released in the month of March. Merchandise promoting the series has been produced, including artwork, clothing, and toys. As of June 2012, the series has sold more than 21 million copies worldwide.


      Plot:
      The central character of the series is Kratos, a Spartan(SPARTAAAAAA!!!) warrior tricked into killing his wife and child by his former master, the God of War Ares. Kratos eventually kills Ares at the behest of the goddessAthena and takes his place as the new God of War, but is still haunted by the nightmares of his past. Kratos is eventually betrayed by Zeus, the King of the Olympian Gods. Revealed to be a demigod and the son of Zeus, Kratos now seeks revenge against the gods for their machinations. A series of attempts to free himself from the influence of the gods and the Titans and to exact revenge follow. Each game chapter forms part of a saga with vengeance as a central theme, and each game in the series is darker than its predecessor.

    • I am a huge fan of the series. ive played 1 and 2 but havent gotten the chace to play 3 yet because i dont have a ps3. I have an xbox instead because i preferred the Assasin Creed series more but God of war is for sure my second favorite series ever made. I actually found it to be a lot of fun. It can be a bit annoying on certain parts but i thoroughly enjoyed it. If you ont want to see the titty parts your more than welcome to censor them. Its really more of a combo of puzzle action and story all in one. I honestly think Pewds would enjoy it. Ill say this right now its not a kid friendly game. It does howevr acurately describe how the Greeks thought of the gods they served. Pandoras temple were my favorite levels so far.
      The cons of it are the camera angles and the graphics arent the best on the ps2 versions sometimes. Despite that i give the games 9 out of 10. I absolutely encorage you guys to check it out if you havent yet. As with any series i also suggest playing them in order so you are not confused by the story line. Gave fun playing :)
