God of War 'Writer' Handling Shank 'Story'

God of War writer, huh? Well, here's how he wrote God of War 3:
1.(Open GoW2 folder, right-click GoW2_story, "copy", open GoW3 folder, "paste") + (Greek mythology characters - (killed in GoW1 + killed in GoW2)).
Honestly, the story kept getting more forgettable as the game went on. Luckily, the gameplay and graphics were great.
Kidding aside though, this game looks interesting. Sort of like Castle Crashers with upgraded graphics and violence.
