I bought God of War II when it was first released and, for whatever reason, I never played more than half an hour of it. I brought it home, ripped off the plastic, and plaed the first few parts with delight. It was a great game from what I played, but I think the timing was bad, as I was distracted by other things at the time, and I didn't have the motivation to pick-up the game from where I left off after a month or two had passed.

The graphics were a strong point, and the controls were quite fluid. I could tell that the story was engaging enough for the average action game, so overall, I was impressed. Perhaps I should pull this one out from the bottom of the pile, blow off the dust and give it another try. After all, this series has become very popular for a reason.

But, meh, I will get around to it eventually.

I have not played Chains of Olympus, but one of my co-workers has it and he says it is just as good as the PS2 installments. Amazing what the power of hand-held gaming systems can do now.
