I used to watch the hell out of Hercules, back when it was a series of made-for-TV movie specials, before it became the TV show. Some of the weeks it would be a different made-for-TV movie, like this futuristic Knight Rider spin-off that's like a cross between Knight Rider and Mad Max. I'm not really into that crap anymore, but I can still wax nostalgic and watch some crappy movies every once in a while, usually while drunk. I'd even get drunk and watch a crappy God of War movie if they had one. The problem is when they want me to button mash through a story, and keep me interested with animated breasts and a rhythm game to control some moans, reminding me that the game makers think I'm an idiot at every turn.
tl;dr version: I really don't see the difference between God of War, Devil May Cry, and Dynasty Warriors. Beat 'em-ups should be in 2-D, so they don't rely on stupid combos and "gruesome kill" moves, and are actually hard as hell instead of cakewalks.

I'm not gonna sell you on Animal Crossing, or even try to. I just want to make sure you don't think it has anything to do with babysitting. For me the draw of the game is the fashion and interior decorating. You collect furniture and try to assemble a full set with a matching theme, and organize your house nicely. You get rated by this house decorating organization and compare scores. And you trade furniture with other people in town and online, and find some in the dump. Also, you can design your own clothes and put swastikas or dicks on everything (hence the friend codes), and you can put them in the shop, and if you're popular with your neighbors, they'll start wearing your designs. And then one of your neighbors usually decides to move into your friend's town when you connect on wi-fi, and they'll be wearing a swastika hat and a shirt with a dick on it.
tl;dr version: That sounds really boring when I write it down and read about it... but I swear, the multiplayer trading and crap kept it interesting for 3 months or so. God of War definitely doesn't have that replay value.
