I loved the first 2. Absolutely loved them. I played them back to back, and definitely felt blue-balled with the ending of the second game.

The only thing I worry about (aside from that I don't own a PS3, as it will have to be damn good to warrant the purchase of a new console with it) is that this is again a new team working on the title.
GoW2 is arguably a better game than the first game, and that game had a new project head. I just worry that since the personnel change on this title seems to be much greater, that we will end up with a pretty DMC2 style let down.

From the trailer it looks more like it's supposed to be a combo of Diablo (raven pecking out the dead guy's eye) and Matrix Reloaded (Kratos exploding upward from under the mound of skeletons that have piled on top of him)..

Mark is back from Sony’s God of War 3 press event with his impressions of the game, an interview with Design Director Todd Papy (sorry about the sound quality!) and pink lemonade all over his shirt. We also managed to squeeze in Chris’s impression of F.E.A.R. 2, so please do enjoy.

At the press event, Stig Asmussen (Project Director) told us that the GoW3 engine can spit out direct frames of the game to video. So they took that into Adobe Premier and compressed it. That's it. No post processing and effects added.
