God of War: Ascension Review

Sometimes it's better to end early, rather than try and force an encore.

Kratos, the lone Spartan with an attitude problem, has already become a god, ascended Olympus in a crazy war, and given humanity hope at the cost of personal sacrifice. So what’s next for him? An unnecessary prequel story with a hard as nails, but well-designed, multiplayer mode. See all the gory gameplay above and learn the details of why God of War: Ascension is worth considering, but also why you should stay wary of it.

God of War: Ascension Review

Does Kratos’s latest adventure truly fulfill its godly intentions? God of War: Ascension falls short of the series' legacy but still provides a fun adventure worthy of anyone's PS3 library.
