Rate the Game: Week 64

[M-A-G]

Yay, I was able to get an early start on this one. I hope today finds you all well and healthy and what have you. Last week's game, F.E.A.R., sadly experienced the same issue as Condemned: Criminal Origins a few weeks prior. Namely, there was a hefty amount of people who sadly hadn't played it. I will reiterate that it's worth a look and I'll just leave it at that. Well, before I do that we have to determine its average score and place on our illustrious list determined by the people who did play it and rate it. I know it was suggested that perhaps it shouldn't be counted but it did get rated and it's a game like all the others so I don't think excluding it is going to work. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just work here. Anyway, let's go to the leaderboard and see where F.E.A.R. ultimately stands....

Eh...middle of the road as it joins fellow PC powerhouse Diablo in the number 31 spot. I hope this will be the last overestimation I make when it comes to games in the pool. These are always more enjoyable when there's a bunch of you who have played the same title. Which raises the question of what will be the next title for this week. Let's go to the bowl and do that pull out thing....

...Presto! This week's game to rate is the title that made the name Kratos shake throughout the gaming universe, God of War on the PlayStation 2! I say PlayStation 2 because this is the original game not the similarly titled game from a few years ago. So what did you all think of this game? How much of an impact did it have on you, if any? Rate and vote and discuss and share and stay frosty! Until next week!
