Last (F*** you first nobody likes you) yeah realy looking forward to God Of War 3, never heard of darksiders till now looks interesting naturally a huge Meh goes to Dante's Inferno and Bayonnetta looks like a game to stare at tits... however i cant find a flaw in that statement

I'll buy whichever one has the fewest quick time events.

Im going to have to get a PS3 to get GoW III and Darksiders. PS3 rampin up baby.

GOW3 just like the other 2 GOWs so they all suck in my opinion.
NipplesTheSuperHippo  - 5 months 17 days ago 
I agree with everything on this list. We all know the GOW 3 is going to be a system seller for Sony, but this is almost exactly the same thing I thought when I first saw Darksiders, that it is going to be the best thing beyond GOW 3 that the "hack'n slash" has to offer. That's not me belittling any of these games, it just the fact the even if GOW 3 was the worst PS3 game to date and it looked like a PS1 game (which it obviously isn't and doesn't) it would still sell off the God of War namesake. D' Inferno looks cool too, just a little too far off from the source material. But if they did it any other way, it probably would be a lot worse.

bayonetta will get 8, GOW will get 9, dante inferno will get 8 and the other one is the one that i haven't heard much of, probably a 9 though.


note to self: no-one reads this far down the page except me!

THe demo for GOW(GOD OF WAR) seems amazing! Now imagine what the rest of the game will be like. I have a feeling Helio's head ripping off is just one of the many brutal moments there will be in the game!

Man, Darksiders: Wrath of War looks pritty sweet. Its like Zelda and Kratos had a Beautiful love child,...and somehow turned him into a video game that can sing like a combination of Steve Perry and Randy Jackson. SUPER PWNIES!!!!! SEA HORSES FOR LIFE!!

And i refuse to get Bayonetta. Game play looks pritty good but the main character looks like a arrogant Dick. Yeah suck on that sony, either make your button mash characters guys or at least make the ladies look nice.

I think I'm the only person here who thinks Dante's Inferno will be better than all of the other three.

Bayonetta has NO chance on beating God of War. I don't even like God of War at all, and I can even recognize that. Dante's Inferno has a much, much better chance.

Now, that being said, WHAT THE HELL? First came Devil May Cry, an amazing game starring Dante, that beats the shit out of everything ever. Then came God of War (which to me felt like a boring, redundant attempt to copy the formula) which expanded (riiight...) on the hack and slash gameplay. Now we're seeing Dante's Inferno, which is starring... Dante?
Seriously, how uncreative are they to bring the genre to a full circle and base the next franchise to star around someone with the SAME NAME? That's just retarded... seriously... what the hell...?

'which so far as we can tell – having only seen the “punish” option – involves stabbing them in the face.'
LMAO

wait a tic, I thought Darksiders was taking a more Zelda-esque approach to the gameplay? I could be wrong, last I heard anything about it was 2 years ago
Turkeykilla7  - 5 months 15 days ago 
Darksiders is going to have the Free-Roam kind of style with puzzle Temple/dungeons and hidden weapons inside them. So think Zelda gameplay with God OF War beat em up look. Its like the Darksiders Game Designers Gave link steroids, then they skimmed through the book of Revelations and messed up the entire ending. War is supposed to kill millions of humans not demons Derrrrrr. /Facepalm

Damn god of war is only on PS3.....

To tell the truth, Bayonetta looks the best to me with gameplay and variety, its just that she so ugly and slutty to.

Dante's Inferno looks cool too but it looks like the onlt game that would give me nightmares.
