God of War ~ IGN Review (worth seeing)

I don't put much stock in IGN, but I do like Game Informer. Because GI gave it a 10 I will definetly look into this game, maybe rent it first.

IGN - 9.8
GS - 9.3
GI - 10
1up - 10
Play - 9.5
EGM - 10, 9.5, 10
OPM - 5/5 Stars

Sounds like good stuff

Scores are just there to give us a slim idea of how good it is. You make the judgements and you score it yourself, instead of discrediting a site or a magazine.

And seeing as they are a gaming site that is famous around the world, it's almost incongruous to say they have zero credibility in judging a game's worth. They have as much credibility as GameSpot or GameInformer. You cannot judge credibility of a site based on what games you thought were good, and what IGN thought. Differences of opinion will always exist on this plane, and you cannot discredit someone for having it.

This game looks amazing.

Stoney C. Let a couple bucks and a rental be your judge.

Also, welcome back CrOnO_LiNk! At least, for now.

I watched a video review of this game....dear lord

The game looks, graphically, too good for the PS2
The combat looks like an absolute blast
The boss battles (although there will only be 3 in the game) look EPIC

to sum it up, God of War is an absolute beast. I told myself I wasnt going to buy anything gaming related until summer...but this is tempting me to a point where I might just throw my limited amount of money around.

It's pointless dude, whenever your gaming instincts override responsibility, it's inevitable. I'm going to buy this game on payday this week. Just buy it...

I bought it on friday and put it in about 45 mins ago. It's fantastic. Splurge with confidence my friend.
