Haven't played TR but this comparison is ridiculous lol. The Arkham-Uncharted lovechild vs. cinematic DMC in ancient Greece. I couldn't compare these 2 in a million years. Though TR looks excellent and I will be picking it up eventually. GoW was excellent and got me legitimately interested in a MP aspect for the first time since...LBP2 probably.

I somehow didn't notice DMC predates GoW. Its clear DMC did inspire the GoW series. And here I thought GoW was original. Silly me.

I mean I like GoW but not DMC, but I'm not exactly a hack n' slash enthusiast.  GoW gives us a more simplified (but still challenging if you play on the hardest difficulty) hack n' slash experience in an awesome setting with imo the best boss fights in the industry.  I don't know how SSM always gives me a new kind of epic but even with a prequel and using the B list of Greek mythology they did it again with Hecatoncires (that is probably butchered) and the final boss fight.  Also the oracle fight was pretty damn awesome and unique.
