Story:God of War is an action-adventure hack-and-slash video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). Initially launched for the PlayStation 2, the game stands as the first instalment in the God of War series and the third in chronological order. Loosely inspired by Greek mythology, it unfolds in ancient Greece with vengeance as its central theme. The player takes on the role of Kratos, the protagonist, a Spartan warrior devoted to the Olympian gods. Tasked by the goddess Athena, Kratos is assigned to eliminate Ares, the God of War and Kratos' former mentor. Ares had deceitfully manipulated Kratos into killing his wife and daughter. As Ares attacks Athens fueled by hatred for Athena, Kratos embarks on a quest to locate Pandora's Box, the sole object capable of permanently stopping the vengeful god.Show more

Unbelievable how the old God of Wars are still stuck on old consoles or just emulation. Played the entire trilogy plus the spinoff on the psp and enjoyed them all (for me they are even better of the newest ones). Really hoping Santa Monica or another studio under it remember to bring this masterpiece of a series on new hardwares!
Um jogo que me traz memorias agradáveis que aquecem meu coração!
Momentos vividos juntos de amigos, familiares, etc
Sou um cara dos consoles.. sou dos tempos que Pcs custavam o valor de um Rim.. kkkkk
Mas agora tenho PC e ainda medio.. amaria voltar a jogar os grandes e medianos jogos do ps1, PS2 , PS3 no PC... a todos da GOG se depender de mim vcs terão meu total apoio nessa empreitada!!!
E ainda farei propaganda gratuita da plataforma rsrsrsrs
Read a positive review in CD-Action and still waiting for a PC port as I do not like console controllers and prefer keyboard and mouse for gaming =) maybe I'm too old to be bothered with learning how to play well with a controller x)
I think I was sold on the game and the character when they mentioned that Kratos can rip a foes arm off and beat them to death with their own arm. It is nice to have some action movie tropes transferred to games x)
HOLD DEVILS POT OF TEA!
MULAN!
Memes aside.
The fact the new God of war is available to buh not the classic ones that started the brutality of ultra violence vengeance of Kratos story is very criminal. Pure Testerone these games are and its amazing! Also its better to experience the story of Kratos yourself in this action packed game and its sequels. Please lets us have the original god of war games.
GOG VOTERS! GIVE ME THE ORGINAL GOD OF WAR GAMES AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
caros amigos da GOG este game é o sonho de muita gente ainda ter oportunidade de jogar no computador fraco ou no pc game seria de um imenso prazer e satisfação com esta plataforma e claro com mais clientes felizes o alavancamento da GOG e praticamente instantâneo !
For me this is the one (along with its spin-off and prequels). It´s very much what you could consider a Greek tragedy, Kratos to me felt like the product of his surroundings (he was a God slayer because that's what the gods were doing to each other from the very beginning) however Kratos was also a family man.

L.A. Noire: The Complete EditionL.A. Noire is set in Los Angeles in 1947 and challenges the player, controlling a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer, to solve a range of cases across five divisions. Players must investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects, and the player's success at these activities will impact how much of each case's story is revealed.
The game draws heavily from both the plot and aesthetic elements of film noir, stylistic films made popular in the 1940s and 1950s that share similar visual styles and themes, including crime and moral ambiguity. The game uses a distinctive colour palette, but in homage to film noir it includes the option to play the game in black and white. Various plot elements reference the major themes of detective and mobster stories such as Key Largo, Chinatown, The Untouchables, The Black Dahlia, and L.A. Confidential.
L.A. Noire is notable for using Depth Analysis's newly developed technology MotionScan, whereby the actors portraying the game's characters were recorded by 32 surrounding cameras to capture facial expressions from every angle. The technology is central to the game's interrogation mechanic, as players must use the suspects' reactions to questioning to judge whether or not they are lying. L.A. Noire was the first video game to be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival. Upon release, the game received wide acclaim for its advances in storytelling and facial animation technology. As of February 2012, both PC and console versions had shipped nearly 5 million copies combined.
In addition to the original full game, L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition for PC will include a multi-use code to access all the previously released downloadable content from the console versions, including the “Nicholson Electroplating” Arson case, the “Reefer Madness” Vice case, “The Consul’s Car” Traffic case, “The Naked City” Vice case and “A Slip of the Tongue” Traffic case.Open world Action Historical Thriller Warfare Sandbox Mystery
