THE HANDS OF DEATH COULD NOT DEFEAT HIM, THE SISTERS OF FATE COULD NOT CONTROL HIM, AND NOW, THE MAN, THE LEGEND, KRATOS, WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE!

Top 7 God of War gamesEdit

I am a HUGE God of War fan. It is a great gaming series, and it also created some of the most brutal deaths in gaming history. Here are my top 7 games in the series:

VII. God of WarEdit

I have to say, the original God of War has to be my least favorite game in the series. The story was, in a sense, predictable. I knew Kratos wanted revenge, I knew it was because something happened with his family, and I knew that the God of War, Ares, had something to do with it. The voice acting was terrible, too. And the dialogue. And the dullness of Kratos' character. And the--I'm getting ahead of myself, the game was still so much fun.

VI. God of War: BetrayalEdit

Yeah, I know what you people are thinking: "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU CHOOSE BETRAYAL OVER THE ORIGINAL?!?" The story was better, even if there was tons of loose ends, and it was pretty impressive, for a game on the mobile phone.

V. God of War: Chains of OlympusEdit

The story... was less than fun. Why did Persephone reveal her plot to Kratos in the end, knowing full well the lengths he would go to just to protect his daughter? Why wasn't Lysandra in Elysium? Why didn't we have a colossal boss fight between Kratos and Morpheus? What was the deal with that final line? "He'll live. They must..." What does that mean? Still, Chains of Olympus was

great... gameplay-wise.

IV. God of War IIEdit

An amazing story, despite a few continuity hiccups. Improved voice acting. Monumentally well-written dialogue. Improved gameplay. These are the good points of GoW II, and why this is the game that got me interested in the series to begin with.

III. God of War: Ghost of SpartaEdit

When did Kratos have a brother? Anyway, the story in Ghost of Sparta is very well-written, the characters were given more dimension, the gameplay was still fun, and I love how I can finally wield Spartan weapons now!

II. God of War IIIEdit

The dialogue was... bad. Kind of suckish. The story had little complexity, save for the ending. The characters, though, were much more developed, the graphics were stellar, and, this time, killing enemies was much more fun than ever before. So, why is Ascension number one, again?

I. God of War: AscensionEdit

The answer: Kratos is now more human than ever before. Instead of seeing a rage-monster, and being fed some narration of how tormented his soul is, we see how pained Kratos is inside, and we can feel the weight of his grief and desperation, whereas in the other games, it kind of felt forced and thrown in to make him feel more tragic. We see him establish relationships with others (he even made a friend) rather than just use them as a means to an end. Take all that, and add in improved gameplay, dynamic graphics, stylish monsters and bosses, and fluid, lifelike motions, and, well, my friend, you've got a contender for Game of the Year. Too bad the story was way too short, even by GoW standards.

TheoriesEdit

Pandora's Guardian may be the original Minotaur that was killed by Theseus in his legend. After its death at the hands of the Greek hero, the Gods might've bestowed upon Theseus the blade he used up till his death at Kratos' hands. As for the Minotaur, though, the deities, believing the carcass could still be of use to them, had it be one of the safeguards of Pandora's Box.
The Gods' radical changes in appearance from the first game to the second game could be explained with this: they, under the belief that mortal eyes would be unworthy to view their truest forms, transformed into whatever appearance they could use to shroud their original forms from the mortals, whenever they needed to converse with them. The reason they had done this with Kratos as well, despite the fact that he was their 'faithful' servant for a decade, was that they looked down on him and still considered him a petty mortal, as Gods would normally do with their subjects.
