Vengeful Spartan.

Thanks. GoW music always gets my blood pumping!

Where's Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance? 83.55 Gameranking and 83 meta, unless this is your own personal list.


Had to use the PS3 version since it was reviewed by more publications. It was VERY close, think it was battling with Heavenly Sword for #26 or #27 when I checked.

You can't go wrong with Brothers of Blood from GoW III! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzRYCz3CV2o

 



I wonder if GoW's sex mini-games ever met with controversy? Bayo2 met with it in a Polygon article.

I knew it was best to ask the people with the GoW avatars about the music! Thanks for this!

Is Diablo considered a hack and slash or just a click a thon?


It's an action role-playing game, guess you can also call it a click-a-thon. :)

All teh GOWs make me think there's not enough hack n slash games being made.

Firstly your username is brilliant.

Yeah, it's true. Not enough great hack 'n' slash games. Looking at the sales of everything not God of War you can see why publishers don't have faith that games of this genre can be big money makers. 



God of War is the definitely the best hack 'n' slash, Devil May Cry is second.

Legacy of Kain and Bloodrayne

I checked out gameplay for Legacy of Kain and I don't think it qualifies, looks more like an Enslaved/Prince of Persia kind of adventure game where combat isn't the primary gameplay focus. And Bloodrayne didn't score high enough to make it.



* Updated the table with a 'Release Year' section.
* Bayonetta 2 is holding onto 7th spot, it could climb up to 6th position if more positive reviews come in.
