GOD OF WAR (Playstation 2)

I like to note here that I have finished another game last week on Playstation 2.

The game was 'God Of War'. (http://www.godofwargame.com/) It is an action adventure RPG game with beautiful graphics but with a lot of gore, blood and violence. Definitely not for the kids.

However, it was voted the Best Action Game in 2005 by www.ign.com.

The game tells a story of Kratos, a Spartan Army Commander who fought for Sparta.He is very influential commander who can ask his armies to kill without mercy any enemies of sparta.

All was good until his army met the barbarians who were too many for the Spartan Army to handle.Out of desperation, Kratos begs Ares, the God of War to help save his life. In exchange, he will be a royal servant of God Ares.

So, Ares helped him defeat the barbarians and made him wore the Chain of Chaos as a reminder that Kratos serves Ares.From then, Kratos fight for Ares and destroy anyone who do not pray to God Ares.No one can stand in the way of Kratos and his army until one day.

The fateful day was when he was burning down a village and entered into the village temple that serve a different God than Ares.Amongst those in the temple were his wife and child.Since he was slashing his way through, he accidently killed his own family members.This fate change his life and he began to hate God Ares.

So, the game starts from that point on in his quest to kill God Ares for the death of his family.

For those who has not played God Of War, get it and you will enjoy it. For those who has finished it, let us start with the next game, God of War 2.

A detailed explanation of the game is in this link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_War_%28video_game%29)

Hi all,

I have just completed the game Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 last week. It was fun cos I had a buddy whom played the game with me. We used Dorn, the Barbarian to hack & slash our way through to the end of the game.

New Characters
The three characters from the original are not available in BG:DA2 because they're captured and thrown into a dungeon in the intro. The Onyx Tower is back and still causing problems as an evil vampire (is there any other kind?), Mordoc, seeks to use it to destroy Baldur's Gate. This can't happen so five new adventurers are here to save the day. That clears the way for five new adventurers to choose from. Two of these characters are essentially brawlers: a human barbarian and a dark elf monk who's best at fighting with her hands and feet. There's also a dwarven rogue is a stealthy character that can break into chests, disarm traps and lay down explosives. Rounding out the crew are a couple of magic users: a moon elf necromancer and a human cleric.

Maybe I'll use the magician instead of brute barbarian next time arounf.

OKAMI

I have not update this page for a long time cos I have not played serious PS2 games lately. But now it is different.Okami is 2006 PS2 game from CAPCOM and produced by Clover Studios.Clover is headed by Atsushi Hinaba.

It is a great game with unique gameplay.The main character is a wolf by the name of Amataresu (Ammy). She is accompany by a bug-artist, Innu.

The main story is Ammy is summoned to save Japan by killing Orochi, the 8 headed monster.Her main weapon is with a paint-brush.Weapons are drawn on demons and enemies.

Check out the videos here of its gameplay.

The gameplay involved puzzle solving, treasure hunting, demon killing & lots of drawing.If you like dogs/wolf and unique gameplay, get it.

Okami won IGN's Best adventure Award in 2006.Why ?

Why It Rocked: Clover Studios' cell-shaded canine adventure takes the classic Zelda setup and blurs everything together with a magic paintbrush. It has a fantastic mix of puzzle solving, interesting battles and grand adventuring, all tied together via an engaging and unique story. When we think of the best adventure games around, size and scope immediately come to mind, and Okami is anything but small. With villages abound, fields aplenty, numerous dungeons to explore and secrets around every corner, OKAMI is about as epic as they come.What really makes Okami great is its excellent art style and the gameplay mechanics that perfectly tie into it. The celestial brush is a wholly unique tool that gives gamers the power to literally shape the world around them. Whether repainting a broken bridge, connecting stars, slicing through enemies or brightening the sky by literally drawing in the sun, you're constantly interacting with the world in numerous ways. The only disappointing thing about the game is now that Clover is closed, we won't be seeing a sequel.- IGN

Sidenote: In fact, I saw this game long time ago but somehow reluctant to pick it up.Once I started the game, I cannot put it down.Its really a good game.
