[quote name='Blank Earth']Hmm...I tried playing the first God of War but didn't really care for it. Enemies took too long to kill, which made the pacing bad for me, and the setting was repetitive and bland with lackluster platforming/puzzle elements. But I've been wondering if I'd like GOW3, since it has had five or so years to evolve as a series. Any fans willing to comment?[/QUOTE]
If you didn't like the first one, you probably won't like GOW3. It's pretty much the same gameplay with better graphics. And while GOW3 was a good game, it was easily the worst of the trilogy.
Also, I've been looking to pick Heavy Rain up for a while now. Glad to see a price drop.
