I feel like butchering some gods...

GoW:A was a let down, no sex-minigame, wtf?

I've played all of them except God of War Ascension, the Darksiders games and Castlevania LoS. Never really considered myself a big fan of the genre but looking at my history, I guess I am. Can't argue with the results, though. From a "total package" standpoint, you just can't beat God of War. If Bayonetta had a better story and sharper graphics, I bet it would have topped the charts. To me, it always had the best gameplay of the genre, easily.

You know, his hair did turn white at the end of the game, though!
