Games Releases (15 – 19 March 2010)

by 5 Comments

To many PS3 owners God of War III is the reason they have stayed loyal to the battered Playstation brand. It depicts everything that is great about videogames. Fantastic graphics, superbly refined gameplay, a great anti-hero in the form of Kratos and of course Greek Mythology (which the series is loosely based on). It’s unfortunate for Sony that coinciding with probably their most important software release for the year is the shortage of PS3s. GoW III has been extremely well received by the gaming media

Eurogamer review 9/10

“God of War III is exactly the experience fans are expecting, most likely. It’s polished but never impersonal, vast and explosive but never merely deafening. It’s Scalextric adventuring, to be sure, but you’ll rarely feel as confident to let a game lead you down the track, safe in the knowledge that it’s only going to tug you towards fun.”

If there is still a question mark, God of War III is game of the week.

This week also sees the release of a few more excellent titles though. If you are a PC/360 owner Metro 2033: The Last Refuge is a game that has been relatively under the radar but looks like it’s a very good game. Also for all those people who owned Nintendo 64 at some stage in their life, Perfect Dark is coming to Xbox Live Arcade. I never played it but maybe it’s time to finally check it out.

Costas

Costas Taliadoros is an accountant by profession but a gamer at heart. He was born in Nicosia in 1977 and was raised by Donkey Kong. At a very young age he started piloting F-15 Strike Eagles over the Iraqi and Libyan deserts and has also seen action in an M1 Ambraams tank somewhere in Eastern Europe fighting against the Soviets. As the years went by, he was integrated into Civilization until he finally conquered the world and sent the first human mission to Alpha Centauri. He graduated from the International Superstar Soccer academy and moved back to Cyprus to start his career. In this dark period of his life he fought and swore against 3 more Master Chiefs on a 4-way split-screen all day and night. It was around this period that he also started traveling to Live in many places around the world but mostly the USA. There, he met a lot of young American teenagers who were willing to discuss topics like his mother and the colour of his skin in great detail. It only strengthened his belief that he still has a lot to learn in this life. Nowadays Costas can be found on a couch playing games with friends and foes, with beer in close proximity. He is just a non-professional “writer” who loves games, books, comics, football, and running. He is also writing in the video-game site he co-founded, www.forevergamers.com, and on his personal blog, www.lostingames.net.
