I'm glad I didn't count that as an option.

Ascension wins on its multiplayer alone.

God of War II

It's actually impossible for me to decide between GOW 1-3. I've played all 3 several times and I really think they did an equally amazing job on all of em. One of my favorite gaming trilogies. I guess if I really had to pick though I'd go with GOW 1 just cause it was new and innovative in that game and really is the first game that made me a big fan of action games.

GOW II > GOW III > GOW > GOW:Ghost of Sparta > GOW:Chains of Olympus.

Haven't played Ascension yet, so I can't judge on that one :P

For me it's

1) GOW III (one of the most epic games made)
2) GOW: Ascention (based on the demo best gameplay, plus best multiplayer ever for me)
3) GOW: Ghost of Sparta (just really enjoyable)
4) GOW (best story, but annoying as f puzzles)
5) GOW: Chains of Olympus (still great)
6) GOW II (haven't played it yet- I know, not fair).

My words exactly. I  loved II and III as well but none matches the gameplay, set pecies and replay value that Ascension brings to the table.

GoW III but Ascension is really close.

GoWIII not even close for me :P

shouldnt GoW be in a different thread? you know every game gets its own thread? anyways voted god of war 3
