One cannot discuss “God of War III” without appreciating its heartrending plot that weaves a tale of vengeance and power. (Well, not “alive” in the traditional sense, as most of the characters are pretty dead.) Released on PlayStation 3, this game takes players on a thrilling journey through an underworld that’s as gruesome as it’s enchanting.
For those who think mythology should include more severed heads, a heap of the undead, and a bit of friendly neighborhood bloodshed, we introduce “God of War III,” a masterpiece that brings Greek mythology alive.
