God Of War 3 Review:
God of War 3 was like the 1st 2..LOL.. The solving of the puzzles is the hardest thing about this game.. I had a cheatbook for that tho, so I beat this game in less than two days.. I don't think I got my moneys worth.. Seems like games now days are getting shorter and shorter.. Grrr.. But its still a fun game.. God of War 2 is my fav of the 3...

Very fun & epic but I was... more info
