17. God of War III
God of War III saw the return of Kratos as he slashed his way through some of the most famous legends from ancient Greek mythology; hell bent on inflicting his revenge on Zeus and the gods for their betrayal. Early in the game it is revealed that Gaia one of the Titans has been using you as a pawn; refusing to save Kratos as he faces certain death. Our protagonist emerges in the Underworld and with the help of a revived Athena he immediately begins his journey back to the top of Mount Olympus to inflict the destruction of Zeus. The epic battles with the Titans have been the stand out moments of the series and GOW3 delivers on this front - they redefine the term colossal by video game standards. The sheer size and spectacle of these ancient beasts are nothing short of astounding and youll be blown away by the enormity of these challenges. The enhanced visuals display the true brutality of the combat system and the combo attacks look vicious. Some of the best boss battles on the current gen consoles are to be found in God of War games and the variation in the types of encounters you face means they rarely get too predictable and formulaic. God of War never attempts to be anything other than an epic fighting game much like Gears of War and it focuses on providing the best boss battles and the most glorious and brutal action on the current generation. An accomplishment the game has pretty much achieved.
