God of War 3 News & GoW3 Reviews

God of War 3 Video Walkthrough:
From the starting first scene to God of War 3 ending with … wait for it … spoilers galore.

We are few hours away from the retail release of God of War 3. However, some fanboy has already completed the GoW3 and has uploaded it on YouTube. I just reviewed the first video playthrough and its the real stuff. I thought about whether I should include video spoilers or not, but I thought that some fans may watch it to know the complete God of War 3 story. Others may want a complete video walkthrough of GoW3 and they can peruse this when they are stuck in the game.

A Trophy system is included, which shows up whenever you have achieved something. Bonus videos and unlockables like the Challenge of Olympus comes up when you complete the game.

The Levels are designed based on which Titan you are on, so its no surprise that the first level is named Gaia. The difficulty modes in God of War 3 are the following:
- Spartan (Easy)
- God (Normal)
- Titan (Hard)
- Chaos (Very Hard)

The Rage mode is now known as Rage of Sparta. In previous God of Wars, it was Rage of Gods and Rage of Titans.
God of War 3 Weapons will include:
- Blades of Exile
- Blades of Olympus
- Claws of Hades
- Nemean Cestus
- Nemean Whip

Okay, I won’t tell you about the magic, but you can find it for yourself when you play. Here’s the God of War 3 video walkthrough. Part 1 is right below. Watch it then watch Part 2 right below it. Part 2 is actually part of a playlist, so once you finish it, just click on the right arrow at the right of the Part 2 video. Enjoy!

Cancel all your duties.
Turn off all your obligations.
Say “Shut Up” to your TV and PC.
Take a sick leave.

Because… come March 16th… it will be just you and your PS3. Chaos will reign. SCEA announced that God of War 3 release date is set to 16th of March.

With God of War 3 (gow3) having a run-time between 12-20 hours depending on your personal expertise, you will need some time away from your real life and Get a Greek Life. Have you got a chance to pre-order the game? If not, here’s your chance to get God of War 3.

Its not just the graphics that separate God of War 3 from the other wannabes. There’s more… you know the story, you are familiar with the gameplay… you know that there will be unexpected twists. Here’s hoping that God of War 3 is the Game of the Year 2010. An ode to Kratos is given in the poem below:

Text format:

2010… we are ten days into Twenty-Ten
2010… the biggest year in the history of Greek mythology
2010… the year that will end the tyranny of Zeus

So, my fellow Spartans… arise…
shake off the dust clung from the battle of Rhodes
wash off the blood splattered by the death of Theseus
shrug off the loss of Caliope and her mother…
the Glory of Sparta beckons you.

We have fought many battles…
Tired, weary, bloodied we are…
Pained, cramped & numbed we are…
But defeated… we aren’t…

The Great War has started once again
This time it will be decisive
The Blade of Olympus is on our side
Be it Gods or Titans
It will be their Final fight

Reach both hands behind your neck one last time…
and unsheath the awesomeness that is the Blades of Chaos
Because… it is the End…
and in the End, there will be only Chaos.

Have a safe and happy 2010.

Finally, John Hight has some great news for God of War fans. The Director of Product Development revealed that the God of War III E3 Demo will now be included with the God of War Collection. Remember, that SCEA didn’t want to include the Demo as it wasn’t up-to-standards yet.

They seem to have done a rethink, based on the general response of fans. You can download the Demo over the PSN, however there is a catch. It will be available only for those who purchase the God of War Collection through a voucher code.

Still, its a pretty good incentive for those who were on the fence, in deciding to buy the God of War Collection. To remind you, the Collection has both God of War games at 720p and 60fps.

We had discussed in our previous post about the God of War Collection. Sony has since then announced the God of War Collection release date. It will be released on 10th November 2009 in the US.

God of War Collection release date announced!

However, it will be region free. European God of War fans can get it early, provided they can afford the International shipping costs in addition to the price of $39.99 or get it through someone going to the US.
