God of War: Chains of Olympus (PS3) Gameplay Sample

When I first purchased The God of War Origins Collection on the PS3, the kid at Gamestop accidentally put the God of War 1&2 collection in the case, and I didn't catch it till I finally got around to playing it, months later. It was too late to exchange it.

I just got this in the mail today, and this is my first time playing the PSP GoW games. I've still yet to pick up a PSP, and never got to enjoy them on that system. That's why I am glad that Sony later brought them to the PS3. I'm pretty sure I now own a complete God of War collection on the PS3, Ascention, and both collections, and GoW 3. Granted, I could have just picked up the Saga collection, but I already owned a few of them.

This is my second run through this level, my first run muted the sound for some reason, and I must say that if you like classic GoW, this is a fantastic collection to pick up. Now that I own the entire collection of pre-Gow (2018) games, I can say they are great games, but the series definitely needed a change after 6 similar games.

I was a reluctant later-comer fan of Gow, but I have grown to really enjoy the series, even if I still hate QTE's in action games. I've learned to accept them in GoW, but still hate them in almost every other game outside of Shenmue. I think it's time for devs to innovate and just move on from QTE's in any action games.
