The God of War Series’ Best Leading Ladies, Ranked
6.12.2022
From heartbreaking to chillingly horny, the God of War game series has invigorated nearly two decades of gaming with expert storytelling. In video games’ brief history, two decades is practically old enough to form its own mythology, so I’ve decided to help cultivate one by pitting all the women...
God Of War Ragnarök Director ‘Would Love’ To Take A Swing At Castlevania
22.11.2022
God of War Ragnarök just came out, and yet, there appears to be some hopefulness around the action-adventure game getting DLC. 2018's God of War didn’t get any sort of expansion after launch, so why this follow-up would when it’s supposed to conclude the rebooted series is a little odd....

If I was playing a video game this year, odds were high that I was also dealing with some sort of crafting system. Sometimes I was fighting off zombies in a large open world. Or killing monsters and bandits in God of War Ragnarök. Or fighting bad guys on the mean streets of Gotham City as Batgirl....
Some God Of War Ragnarök Collector Editions Are Missing The Game
10.11.2022
God Of War Ragnarök’s $200 Collector’s Edition comes in a gold embossed box, with a 16-inch replica of Norse god Thor’s Mjölnir hammer, a set of engraved dwarven dice, downloadable cosmetics, and more.

9.11.2022
In the new God of War games, Kratos is more mature and less angry. But before he was the Dad of War, he was a big asshole willing to kill anyone or let people die—often in horrible ways—if it meant he could continue his quest. And one poor soul, a nameless boat captain, encountered the terrible...
God Of War Ragnarök's NPCs Actually React To Kratos Looting Everything And It's Amazing
9.11.2022
In most video games it’s just expected that the main character will run around breaking pots and ransacking every locked chest in the never-ending pursuit of more loot.
