God of War

[Onkel Neal]

Got this game the other day when I saw the new Conan game is x360/PS3 only. It was a mere $15 used and I thought, eh, why not? A cheap ripoff of the Cimmerian, may as well....

God of War (http://youtube.com/watch?v=VUxL6IJzdNQ) -an adventure, fighting, puzzle game set in ancient Greece, chock full of warriors, Spartans, gods, and mythology creatures. A killer score, just the right level of difficulty, and really compelling. Think Tomb Raider with much deeper story and ambiance. If I had to criticize it, I would have liked a little more exploration and RPG and less combat, but it's good.

Most definitely full of awesome:rock: This is what I always dreamed of as a kid, being able to immerse myself in mythic worlds of adventure.

Now, got to get God of War II.... :yep:

Yea about that Neal... Get the new coming up for the PSP. They all rock. God of War is one ofthe best greek games i played. I like the second one becuase you get better upgrades and more fun stuff.

If you don't mind old games, Drakan was pretty fun back in the day.

[Onkel Neal]

I'm almost through GoW1, stuck in the crazy mountain maze :doh: But it is a pretty satisfying game. I'm looking forward to the second one.

Been hearing a lot of good things about it... just might get it. :hmm:

“Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures” is first and foremost a MMO, which means that you can expect to explore a vast and detailed gameworld filled with content, but it also gives you a unique entry into the world through a single-player experience at the start. In the MMO world you find thousands of other adventurers, and you can fight them, join them or avoid them. By joining forces with others you can face the dangers of the world together, and thus harvest treasures protected by mighty monsters only groups of players can ever hope to bring down. Besides bringing the most brutal combat experience ever seen in a MMO, Conan also promises to deliver what all fans of MMOs love and enjoy. Vast character customization opportunities, a deep character creation, lots of social opportunities, crafting, a deep and fun RPG system, exciting classes, lots of exploration, and tons of PvP and PvE are some of the ingredients in this powerful MMO.
At the same time, “Age of Conan” advances the genre by adding a single-player experience to the mix. When starting out the first time you go through a deep story-driven campaign with exciting environments and challenging, interactive quests. Starting out as a galley slave you eventually strand on the burning beaches of the Barachan Isles, with nothing but a broken oar and tattered clothes. In the next hours you embark on a story tailored to you, and you alone. That means going through a cinematic and riveting experience that you have never seen in an MMO before! When your character is ready, you will face even greater challenges in the larger Hyborian world.

Enter a massive online world populated with thousands of other players
Explore Hyboria in groups and guilds or play solo
Become a part of the political life on your server, form guilds, construct cities and declare war on other guilds
Emerge as a hero from the story-driven single-player experience and embark into even greater adventure in the massively multiplayer part of the game
The MMO and single-player experience go hand in hand, so even the start of the game requires you to be online

Oh yeah, I have been watching this one. I have big hopes it will be as good as it looks, with a lot of wide open sandbox gameplay, and lots of adventure elements.
