That teocidal bald dude




























Let's start with videogames, shall we?
the first that i wanna talk about is the rising franchise of sony, God of War.
this game came out on march 2005, and it was to my surprise one of the finnest pieces of digital art.

That's right, Sony Santa Monica developed this great game that shows us what a real spartan is about with great level design and a story that put the whole game together piece by piece and the main course, the starring of this story, Kratos.

The first impression of the "ghost of Sparta" is a bald dude with a loin cloth and some chained blades, but the reality is that while you play this title and take a good look at the character, his voice, and all around persona, you can immediatly can say that is an incredible design, and the best part is that it didn't need any of the cliches of the cool hero, in fact it's a whole new kind of visual in it, that is what makes Kratos so great.

So, whats the story beneath? easy, the gods of olympus hire Kratos to kill Ares the God of war in exchange of relieving his tormented soul, how difficult can be to kill a god? well, the answer is in the game.

The game itself has everything that i like in it: a great assortment of moves and combos, special abilities and powers, puzzles and a wide variety of enemies, gallons and gallons of blood, excellent 3d platform gameplay and boobs (yeah BOOBS!!!!).

The only downside is the bosses, they're only a few of them, i mean, the game is totally awesome but the lack of the great threats makes you want more of that huge monsters that you gotta beat Parappa style (by a button sequence) otherwise the game is just perfect.
