The World's first official review of God of War III is out!
In the extensive 7 page review by Official PlayStation Magazine, the junior reviewer Nathan Ditum gives the game praise however clumsily criticises Kratos for being violent!
"I have only one serious reservation, and it's one I'm happy to admit makes me sound like a giant baby, sometimes, it feels like Kratos is too mean. I know - that's the point. Lost family, tortured here, etc etc. But he murders people with such deadening inevitability it becomes like the punchline to a repeated joke."
He also criticises the game for not having the emotional depth of Heavy Rain which he admits "Its a brilliant dog, but doesnt it miaow!"
He says of the gameplay
"The game is inches from scoring 10/10 and its only the familiarity of the core gameplay (standing on the shoulders of giants) that makes it feel less thant the very, very best."
9/10

Nintendo GameCube - Nintendo Classics version 1.6.1 update has now been released.
New Rosalina and Samus Nintendo eShop cards have been revealed, and a sale is happening that can save you a bit of cash on eShop credit.
James Bond fans can pre-order the 007 First Light DualSense, but the lack of Nintendo Switch accessories is sad, considering Bond's gaming heritage.
The review overall is very, very positive - although I think it's crazy to criticise Kratos for being violent, because that's what he's all about.
I've got this on pre-order. God of War III is gonna be epic.
"Its a brilliant dog, but doesnt it miaow!" He is idiot or what? GoD is not about tendernesses or some other crap like this, its about killing, gore, violence, epic, and one of the best gameplay in genre. 9 out of 10, lol.
and my characters to be "mean", I should add a point to the score? Wow...so GOW3 got a 10. Sweet.
