PS2 Feature | God of War
Legions of exasperated gamers whined that Kratos' escape from the bowels of Hell - complete with rotating columns of bladey cartilage, platforms of bone and two huge towers of spinning blades - was 'stupid', 'cheap' or 'toohardIwantmymummy!' but we loved it. ...

PS2 Feature | God of War
God of War II is about to arrive in stores, and youre probably champing at the bit to disembowel another army of Greek monsters by now. But before you delve into Kratos second neck-stomping adventure, we thought you might appreciate a quick refresher on what came before. (And well just put a big fat spoiler warning right here, so that you cant whine later about how we ruined the game for you.) Just ruining the ending wouldnt do the game justice, of course, so weve got much more than that in ...

PS2 Feature | God of War
God of War Kratos is totally bad ass - when have you ever killed a god? And the fact that Aries ate an H-bomb for breakfast that morning really added to the effect. Except, now that Kratos is the new God of War, shouldnt we have to kill him in God of War 2? Whatever, just let us rip the eyeballs out of something and dont make us ...

PS2 Feature | God of War
After three years in the making, Sony's Santa Monica Studio-developed God of War is finally done and dusted, and has since been celebrated with high acclaim from the games media.God of War's director David Jaffe has, according to his blog, now officially 'gone fishing' but, before disappearing into the sunset, the mastermind behind the Greek epic took some time out to answer a few of our questions. God of War has been in development for a considerable time. Is this because the team has been ...

PS2 - God of War II - The most memorable minigames ever

Even two console generations ago we stopped batting our eyelids if games contained other, smaller games within them. It didn’t even seem odd if whole games were made up of dozens of little ones. Nowadays we use minigame mechanisms to open doors, enact fancy stealth kills, slaughter bosses or open chests. Minigames are everywhere, be it shoving boulders in Conan, coercing peasants in Oblivion or doing anything at all in Thrillville or ...

PS2 Feature | God of War II
Remember God of War II? It came out to glorious reviews and massive coverage, only to fade away like a fart in the wind. Shortly thereafter, the only GoW news was for the PSP and PS3 versions. Nuts to that; God of War II is here now and is begging to be played. No other game makes you feel consistently bad-ass by launching an assault on the gods. Read on to discover the brilliance. 1) Blowing up the Colossus' head Killing the Rhodes Colossus is an opening even more awe-inspiring than the Hydra ...

PS2 Feature | God of War II
Not content with simply having been made a Greek deity at the end of his first adventure, psychotic bald murder machine Kratos is stomping back into stores this week in God of War II. And given how big and bloody the sequel is, a mere day or two of coverage seems to us like a puny way to mark its arrival. To celebrate our second chance to swing around a wicked pair of blades on chains and eviscerate hideous monsters in creative ways, GamesRadar is putting together an entire week of features ...

PS2 Feature | God of War II
We just wouldn't be GamesRadar if we didn't have something in our weeklong God of War II coverage for all the pervy lowest-common-denominator types out there. Luckily for us, it's not just Kratos that goes topless in this Grecian gorefest - its other characters aren't afraid to flash a little nipple, either. Not even during combat with a seething incarnation of rage who can break Doric columns in half with his bare hands. Unfortunately, while we had a really cool video cued up to show you, ...

PS2 Feature | God of War II
God of War II is tough, no question, but most of its battles - including those with bosses - can be won simply by mashing on the buttons and following the onscreen prompts. The game's toughest bosses, then, aren't necessarily the strongest, but the ones that actually force players to stop and think about how the giant monster in front of them relates to its environment, and how best to use that knowledge to kill it. You know, the ones that actually take strategy. Of course, some of you just ...
