A Few New Games
After a day of shopping, we came home with 2 new games; God of War and Darkwatch. Although they are not new titles (who can keep up these days anyways). I was really impressed with God of War. Although a little on the violent side - some of the battle moves are quite comical. Your goal is to save Athenes from the god Aries and in doing so, was promised by Athena to be rid of your horrible visions of the violent massacres you have unleashed on the world during your power hungry Spartan days.

What I like about this game so far is that it is full of inventive puzzles in order to make your way through Pandora's castle. There is still alot of battles along the way, but once you've cleared a monster, they are dead for good - clearing the castle over time for easier mobility in the long run.

I am not that impressed with Darkwatch, but vampire cowboys just aren't my thing.

We are holding out for a price drop on a third game - Shadow of the Colussus, made be the same people who created ICO. This game looks quite innovative in that your goal is to attack and take down a series of colussi... their bodies is the landscape. You climb up onto them and attempt to seek their weak spots. There is no other battle in the game (as far as I understand) and the navigation of the colussi requires patience and wit. A nice contrast to a lot of the games out on the market these days.
