I bet his extra punctuation will focus on bullshitty cliffhanger endings (rather drawing a franchise out to a point past suck) and then he'll focus on the comments regarding people talking about his sore throat. Again.

It was refreshing to hear/see a more laid back review. It was nice, well done Mr. Pitts er... I mean Mr. Croshaw

Loved the review. Agree on the fact that this probably really didn't need to be made, but it's enjoyable enough I'm glad it was.

What's with the Trilogy thing, anyway? I have a feeling they only stretched it out to toss a 3 on the end.

I have to wonder: While teabagging Helios's decapitated head, is it possible to angle it such that you can open your mouth and have light come out?

Wow. There's a sentence that would never work with any other game...

Seems a tad unenthusiastic. Almost as though opening a bar in a major Australian metropolitan area may somehow be draining.

Anywho, at the risk of attracting replies from kneejerking GoW fans, personally I was bored of GoW when I was bored of Devil May Cry. GoW-III may be "fun," but (from the other 3 1/2 minutes Yahtzee was talking) sounds like it's lacking in worthwhile substance.

I see spring allergies (well... fall allergies for you) have set in... combined with some voice strain... sorry about that ol' chap.

I played God of War 3 and I thought it was fantastical and awesome... Then again, the spectacle of it was probably what sold me on it.

Good review, though. Oh, and feel better!!

A somewhat bland review not helped by his sickness affecting his voice, but is rather accurate in the sense that Kratos does seem to take this whole revenge thing a LITTLE too seriously, and thus is harder to relate to his plight. I'm still working through the game but I've killed about 3 Gods and now the seas are flooding, the sun is gone, and vegetation is dying. And when one of the Gods who is really innocent in all of this brings up the fact that his quest is ruining the world, Kratos proceeds to break said God's neck. It still is a fun game that every PS3 owner should experience, but the feeling that you're fighting for the best cause that was there in 1 and 2 (destroying Ares to save Olympus and to eliminate your nightmares, getting revenge on the Gods after they betray you) is lost in this. Really be ready to check your brain at the door, but you'll still have tons of fun.

I'd just like to say that I wrote a post a while back saying that Kratos was no longer a badass, but just a jerk about a week and a half ago. And before it was locked and removed I was absolutely attacked by the forumeratti. Best of all, I compared my thoughts on Kratos to Yahtzees thoughts on Rubi from 'Wet' and was told 'how dare you invoke Yahtzees name' as though he's fucking Voldemort or something.

Anyway, I called it...so bite me.

And the whole thing doesn't matter anyway, because I'll put my entire Full Tilt bankroll on the fact that there will be another GoW game.

Awesome Review! I've been looking forward to this review since the game came out! Sucks about Yahtzee's sore throat, though.

I don't mind what's basically an HD update to a fun game, so I think I'm convinced. Although this review did irritate me at the start:

(sigh) First MovieBob and now Yahtzee. Hopefully this is the last time: if you fight and kill the gods, you have to acknowledge they exist. That means you can't be an atheist. You would be an antitheist ["against god(s)"] or a misotheist ["god-hater"]. Kratos is both, but he can't be an atheist, especially since he was a god at one point.

I think I've figured it out. If all the critics give the game a bad score, Yahtzee tears the game apart. If they paint it as a jewel encrusted golden gift from the treasure vaults of Xerxes, he tears it apart unless he really, really likes the game.

Great review, and yes I did steal the Xerxes treasure thing from the Halo 3 review.

this was actually a pretty positive review
I have to agree with you considering its Yahtzee

Funny but true. This was a positive review by Yahtzee standards.
