3. God of War Collection
The rather angry chap known as Kratos has now become one of Playstations top characters and will probably be at the forefront of an new-gen news in the coming months. This HD collections gives players the chance to see where it all began for possibly the most popular baldy in gaming. A few steps up from the Lord of War (Nicolas Cage), the God of War universe is based around greek myths and killing--lots and lots of killing. Kratos hacks and slashes his way through these first two games in the glorious over the top violence that made him such a success. These are truly great games, perhaps even two of the top games in their genre, and are definitely worth a play if you missed them the first time round. The games have definitely benefited by showing up late to the Playstation 2s party, as they look great! It looks as though the games developers Santa Monica Studio knew how to get every last drop of power out of the ageing console. That said, this is the oldest HD collection on the list and it appears that they werent entirely sure of the rules of making the jump to HD; the gameplay has been upscaled but the cutscene have not and there is an obvious difference.
