If the first Aliens Vs Predator review’s a sign of things to come,Rebellion had best be dug in like an Alabama tick for the next fewweeks.
Game Informer’s given the shooter a tooth-sucking 5.75/10, saying,“We have a title trying to live off the fumes of two dormantfranchises.
If you havent played them yet get Uncharted 1 & 2. Uncharted 1 can be had anywhere from $20 to $29 bucks and Sam's club still has this deal:

We promised it to you, we're keeping our word. Kratos has paid us avisit, and we're not about to forget it. Discover why the final chapterof the GoW saga will be sublime.
Only one will remain. Kratos awaits. Quietly established on histhrone. He is smiling... and is letting the others tear each otherapart, back down. He is not scared, on the contrary, it amuses him.Bayonetta, War or Dante can go crazy, show off their muscles, they arenot in the same league. Kratos knows, and now so do we, that playerscannot imagine what GoW III will be like. They might have played toBayonetta, Darksider's or Dante's Inferno, but they won't be preparedfor what awaits them in March. Kratos takes his blades and enters thearena, whithout fear. GoW II will be a slaughter. You probably haveplayed or seen the demo for the game. You have certainly been blownaway (ign.com)by the polish of the graphics, the quality of theanimations. Tell yourself that it is nothing compared to what awaitsyou in the retail version. The GoW III demo, as impressive as it was,dates back june 2009. Since then, the team has enormously polished thegraphics, in order to make of GoW III a jewel made of blood. Thetextures are much sharper, the details on Kratos' body incredible, thelightning effects magnificent.
Upside down
A brief reminder of the basics of Gow III's story. Kratos has forged afragile alliance with the Titans. He has released them from theimprisoning of the Gods so that they can help him satisfy his lust forrevenge. Gow III's begins where II ended. The team of Santa Monica kepttheir promises when they were talking of "giant levels". We've had thechance to see a few images of the beginning of the game: Kratos is onthe back of Gaia, mother of the earth. This titan is covered offorests, streams and waterfalls. She is twice the size of the EiffelTower (only point of reference as far as height goes for the french)! Gaia is climbing Olympus when she gets attacked by Poseidon. Duringthis fierce fight, and depending on her movements, the level changescompletly. Kratos is therefore on the arm of Gaia horizontaly. Butbecause of its movements Kratos finds himself at one point barelyhanging from it. You must constantly adapt to your environment. Thepower of the Ps3 (TM) allows to reinvent the level design of the gameand your advancement in the world. Besides the "living" levels on thetitans, you will have to overcome moving puzzles. At one point in thegame, Kratos will find himself trapped in a rotating cube made of woodand iron. The problem is, there are spikes springing from the cube.Kratos will need to grapple on a harpy to avoid being shredded. Lateron in the game, he will need to find a way out of the Olympus gardens,a mineral and vegetal maze in which he will face the Talos, enormousand very tough statues. Here, every time he activates a lever, theconfiguration of the maze will change. Gateways move, closing andrevealing passageways.
And now, chaos. [Uninteresting stuff] With the Hermes boots, theghost of Sparta will be able to run on walls. Finally, Kratos will havenew impressive attacks. One of them will be to plant a giant sword inthe floor to make a giant cyclone appear. [...]
The engine of the game is based on the one of GoW II. But it has beenremade and boosted. As a result, there can now be up to 40 enemies onthe same screen, against 10 for the previous instalments.
[...]
From Olypus to Hell Another sequence we've seen starts where thedemo ended: after a brief flying sequence, Kratos rushes towards thetitan of fire. Once again, you have to avoid the fragments and fireballs coming from the giant. Kratos can not only move up/down andleft/right, but he can also make a quick dash. Our hero searches arefuge in a cavern. But the walls of the cave begin to tremble, theroof to crumble, the cave to collapse... Kratos cannot fly here, hemust escape by climbing the walls and avoiding the falling rocks. Atthe last moment, he jumps into another underground gallery and spreadshis wings. This time, he is not flying towards the sky but falling atan alarming speed. At the bottom of the pitt, Kratos eventually findshimself in a huge room, the Court of the Judges. In this Court, men arejudged by the three Judges of Hades. The purest are given the right toaccess the Elysium the least pure will go directly in the inferno ofthe Tartarus. In this room, three giant statues are placed side byside. Each one is as big as the Colossus in Gow II... Here you willhave to use your brain. Beams of red light come out of the eyes of theJudges. Kratos must move in the room while avoiding their lethal gaze.To find your way out, you must find a way to turn their murdering gazeagainst each other. Not sure Hades will like this...
You probably realize it, Gow III not only satisfied the fans'expecations, it obliterated them. Get ready. Because in March 2010,Olympus will tremble, the Gods will pay, and you will discover one ofthe most memorable gaming experiences of your life...

Neither God, nor master
For his final adventure, Kratos will have to face an amazing bestiary. Here is a foretaste.
Talos:
Talos are statues made of wood, stone or iron, to which the Gods havegiven life in order to hunt Kratos without mercy. Think of them as thehero's nemesis. They fight with huge hammers or fractions of pillars.They might move slowly, but only one single blow can be lethal. Themore Kratos will hit them, the more they will crumble. The rightstrategy will be to take their hammer and use it against them.
Satyre:
The Satyres are half-man half-goat creatures. Those are very fastenemies, who are constantly moving. Thanks to the blade on theirscepter, the Satyres can use devastating circular attacks.
Cerberus:
The Cerberus is coming back in GoW III, but this time he will be muchharder to overcome. To do that Kratos will have to kill his three heads, while staying away fom the inflamed puppies he spits and whichexplode when close to the hero. Hot!
Page 4:
Hades
Hades is one of the bosses of GoW III. The fight against him will be anepic one. Not only is Hades moving very fast to try to spill yout gutswith his giant hooks but he is also throwing damned souls at you. Evenworse, he will try to suck your soul. To prevent him from doing so youwill have to rappidly press L1 and R1. And when you will damage him bytearing some of his organs apart, they will try to get back to him,meandering on the floor (). You will need to be patient to figure out the good strategy.
Centaur:
Centaurs are like the generals on a battlefield. They give indicationsto the foot soldiers. Those soldiers then use better strategies, forexample by circling Kratos. You will have to defeat the Centaur todisorganize the enemy troops.
Minotaur:
The Minotaur is one of the most famous enemies of the GoW franchise. Hewill obviously be back in this new installment, tougher and morepowerfull. You will need to avoid his devastating blows. It seems thatKratos will encounter different types of minotaurs, more and morepowerfull.
Sorry for the (numerous) grammatical errors
We always assumed that Geoff Keighley's ability to secrete world exclusives only applied video games, but his power/curse seems to extend even to magazines about video games. Keighley says he got an early look at Game Informer's recently teased piece on Rockstar's L.A. Noire and let slip via his Twitter feed that the game is apparently slated to arrive in September.
According to legend, Keighley is often able to see pieces like this even before the electrical impulse makes its way from the "typing synapse" of the brain to the writer's fingers. That's our accurate, scientific way of saying we haven't seen the piece for ourselves yet, so we're going on Keighley's word at the moment. We know, we know, we dislike trusting a guy who misspells "Jeff" too.
Surrrrreeeee, a huge baseballfan doesn't know when the season starts and anyone can tell it is not a real game by the animations. The game looks great but it doesn't look like a real game.Originally Posted by IHeartBoost
This is the most realistic, graphically looking sports game ever, period. I just showed my co-worker (who is a huge bball fan) and she really thought it was real life. "Baseball season started already?". When I told her it was a videogame she was like "no way". This is probably top 5 best looking game this generation, up there with Uncharted 2 as well.
