God of War III is unquestionably the best in the series and one of the best games of all time, anyone who says otherwise or that the most critically acclaimed, bestselling and most beloved game in the genre ever was a 'disappointment' (Wagram) is wrong. GoW3 does everything better than the other games except GoW2 has a better sense of adventure.
The vast majority agree that GoW:CoO<GoW1<GoW:GoS<GoW2<GoW3. Funnily enough that is the order you should have played them in.
I'd say play God of War: Ghost of Sparta then God of War III, it has some story points that you need to see to make sense of certain things in GoWIII, e.g. who the 'Other one' is, you'll know what I'm talking about.
