I bought all of them in a span of maybe 2 years. That didn't help.

I rarely use my PSP so I never got through Chains of Olympus due to the big back catalog of unfinished games. And then Ghost of Sparta came out, which may actually be the first I finish.

Chains of Olympus is a watery piece of crap compared to God of War 1 and 2. Haven't played 3 or Ghost of Sparta yet. 

OT: Haven't bought anything bad this year. Maybe Trauma Center: New Blood because I'm awful at it?

I was just talking to someone about PS3 games today and God of War came up.  He was a fan of God of War but he actually though the PSP games far outshined the console ones.

He said the PSP ones were better at making you use your various weapons and just in general set up situations better.

I'll have to get back to Chains to re-evaluate it. Naturally I wasn't exactly "sucked in" since I never got too deep into the game, but it was a quality title that captured that GoW feel.

I did run into a funny issue the last time I played Ghost though. Between my button mashing shaking the PSP and the several giant cyclops that were on screen, I could not even see Kratos, what he was doing (other than his spinning blade VFX) or his hit reactions. Basically, playing blind thanks to the classic GoW fixed camera angles, which is not cool.

Other than that though, Ghost is solid. I don't regret pre-ordering it.
