I don't need more Kratos. His story has been told. There are far more interesting things they can do with this universe than fill in backstory that's already been covered.

So is this a prequel of a prequel? The first prequel came out on the PSP, right?

I sort of agree with Julian. I was satisfied with God of War 1-3 but the ending of 3 DID kind of get me thinking about a sequel but not a prequel. Im not sure, but we'll see.

Do you remember the bonus content that unlocked when you beat the first game? There was a story about Kratos having a brother who died and was raised in Hades. He resented Kratos and wanted to kill him. That's where I want the series to go-new character, but related to the Kratos story.

Yup, I do, and I totally agree. It would make perfect sense. I hear that they addressed his brother (Deimos if im not mistaken) in Ghost of Sparta, but i would have liked to see a series featuring him as well. Plus, i feel like we know Kratos' backstory well enough, why do we need a full game based on it?

And I don't know if you felt the same way, but GoW 3 kind of killed Kratos' character for me. Everything he does in that game seems worse than what the gods are doing. I felt like he had more depth in the first two games.

Well i think Kratos was intact but in GOW3 he was a little more bloodthirsty and irrational than one might assume, but he had a mission and he did what he set out to do, no matter how irrational it was.

Super Metroid Review Rewind

More stunning confessions from me to you! I didn’t get into the Metroid series until Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion, and didn’t even play Super Metroid until maybe two years after I played Metroid Prime. While the first Prime title took many design inspirations from Super Metroid, I didn’t enjoy Super Metroid at first, mostly because I played it through less than reputable means. Once I got to play it on the Wii Virtual Console, I finally understood why this game is considered an SNES classic. Super Metroid sports great game design, with a wonderful atmosphere unparalleled on any 16-bit system. At only 30 cents on the Wii U eShop until June 16, there’s little reason to not give this excellent title a shot.
