Still Angry
by Matt Walker

The God of War series is considered by some to be the best thing to ever hit a Sony device, so it only makes sense that the PSP titles in the series eventually made their way onto the PS3. But does God of War: Origins Collection warrant the $40 dollar price tag?

The simple answer is yes, of course. The main reason is that you can now play all God of War titles (assuming you have also picked up the HD remastered versions of the PS2 hits) on one platform. I have nothing in particular against handhelds or previous gen systems, but when I can play the entirety of a series on a single device, it somehow satisfies the completionist inside me. Yes, I agree that having multiple version of one game can be a bit redundant, but there is just something about having that capability of having them all in one place.

God of War's protagonist Kratos has earned a reputation in the video game industry as perhaps the angriest person we have ever gotten the chance to play as. Of course, he has his reasons for being this angry: the death of his family, the gods taking a whizz on everything he cares for, and so on. Kratos is just angry, and everyone who has played the God of War games can attest that playing as this enraged hero can let you vicariously relieve some of your own pent-up rage. In God of War: Origins Collection, players will be able to release this rage in two full God of War games: Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta.

The story of Chains of Olympus takes place during Kratos' ten-year service to the gods before the first God of War, and it does a fantastic job of filling in some of the story of the man he once was. It also delivers some great Easter eggs. However, the main problem I have with the Chains of Olympus half of this collection is that it looks a bit dated. This is not to say the port was done poorly, but there are more than a few models that did not transfer as well as they should have. It doesn't drastically affect the game's composition, but it may cause a few unwarranted chuckles at the facial expressions of Kratos and some of the supporting characters.
