A couple days ago, I soldiered on down to Union Square and snagged a copy of the brand-spanking new God of War 2. I was a huge fan of the first installment and consider it one of the best games ever put out for the Playstation 2. It’s combination of strong storyline based off the Greek myths that’s actually interesting, mature themes, extreme violence and gore and one of the most effective and balls-out awesome combat systems I’ve ever seen in a video game. It was not a game your mother would let you play and I really appreciated that fact. Love, love God of War. Everyone does. Go get it now, it’s only fifteen bucks at this point. You’ll thank me.

God of War 2 hasn’t broken and new bounderies. In fact, in plot and in gameplay, it basically takes you to right where the first one left off and just gives you more of the same. If its predecessor was a mediocre game, you’d be disappointed, but GoW 1 was the game you stayed up till four in the morning to beat and was bummed when it was over, so there’s nothing to complain about in this sequel. You want to mutilate entire armies of the undead? Eviscerate? Bash someone repeatedly till all that’s left is red mush? All that’s still there along with a new plot, building off the first and an array of new abilities, weapons, villains and seriously fucked up bosses. I’m totally psyched with this game. Fire, destruction and war!
