God of War III

I finally finished God of War III for the PS3, it's the end of the trilogy about Kratos's search for revenge against the gods, Greek gods that is.  I didn't play the first teo but I knew the general story.  He was tricked into killing his own family and doing the general bidding of the gods against his will.  He finds out the Zeus is his father and goes to seek revenge with the help of the Titans.  Visually, the game is a pure treat and shows the capabilities of the PS3.  The sheer scale of the Titans is incredible; what's even more amazing is that these huge behemoths are walking around causing destruction while you're on them or as they walk by in the background.  I didn't feel that I needed to play the previous two while playing GOWIII, but I'm sure it does help and may have caused even more shock and closure to this already amazing story.  My favorite games have a great story, message, and are scattered with memorable quotes.  For me, I will remember this one for it's epic story and scale along with a message left by a dead companion to our antihero Kratos, "Hope is what makes us strong, it is why we are here.  It is why we fight with when all else is lost."
