Ofcourse I know, that's why I said that he shouldn't criticize others when his games are the not the prime example of a great story.

WHAT!?

A mortal who becomes a god, who then becomes a mortal because he has angered Zeus and revives the titans to wage war on the gods of Olympus isn't great story telling?

No, that's a plot outline, not a story. Good story telling is in the details of how it's told. For example, there have been four tellings of the story "I Am Legend." The novella is considered a classic that the films, despite having the same rough plot, have never matched. While GoW may have told the tale well, I'm pretty sure that any number of developers could take that same story and make it suck.
