Chris and I finally got ourselves a copy of God of War, which we cracked open last night and played gleefully for several hours. The first time we encountered some harpies, we made sure to rip their wings off, and Chris was immediately sold on the game’s merits. We didn’t much like the hydra boss, or at least Chris didn’t, because it took us so long to figure out how to kill it that his fingers were cramping by the end. But overall - very nice (and very gruesome) graphics, decent controls, and entertaining battles. Our only real gameplay complaint is the fact that you can’t control the camera. Or at least we didn’t figure out how to.
