'''''God of War''''' is a popular video game series for the [[PlayStation]] line by Sony based in ancient Greece, but an ancient Greece where all those bizarre things you read about in [[Classical Mythology]] textbooks exist. One Spartan soldier, Kratos, has a personal relationship with the Gods that can best be described as complicated. A brutal, tormented man, Kratos begins the series as the sword of Olympus, fighting the enemies of the gods while trying to escape the horrors of his past.
''God of War'' received ample praise in a number of forums: IGN named it the Greatest Game of All Time for the PlayStation 2, ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' ordained it to be the best PS2 game of 2005 (and the second-best overall game of the same year), and Gamespot called it the best PS2 game of 2005. The pattern, if you haven't picked up on it, [[Captain Obvious|is that the game was very well-liked.]]
Line 242:
** This explanation causes a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]] when you see how small the amount of experience you get from {{spoiler|Callisto is. Of course Kratos wouldn't want to bathe his weapons in the blood of his own mother}}.
* [[Gotterdammerung]]: The developers have said that ''God of War III'' will explain why Greek myths aren't around anymore. Guess Kratos is a one-man apocalypse/the "somebody" from the page quote.
* [[Grail Quest]]: In the first ''God of War'', Kratos's search for the Pandora's Box to defeat Ares. There is several puzzles and trials testing his strength and smartness, not to mention a sacrifice made to the gods, that depending of the version you're playing it's either an undead soldier(Europe) or a very living human being who begs Kratos to not kill him(USA). The latter it's clearly made to determine someone's willingness to kill an innocent man for the ultimate good. Kratos does it with clear regret.
* [[Ground Pound]]: One of the moves available with the Blades of Chaos comes in ground and air versions of this trick.
** Atlas Quake functions like this as well.
