God of War 3 is the Last of the Series–Goodbye Kratos *Sniff*

Sony has revealed through a recent press release a bittersweet announcement of sorts for fans of the God of War series. According to the company, God of War 3 is the last installment of the franchise and will mark the “epic conclusion” to the tale of the heroic and brutal Spratan, Kratos.

Anyone who watched the teaser trailer that was unveiled during the Spike TV Video Game Awards can tell you that the video was decently cool, but if this is the last of the series and they are expecting him to go out with a “bang” they better do Kratos and gamers a solid by literally giving us something that we can be satisfied with and more than anything worthy of His Destructiveness.

This time around, Kratos is rampaging through Mt. Olympus and Hell itself, reeking havoc on the gods who have betrayed him. Per his usual way of slaughtering his foes, he will be wielding his double-chained blades against mythological creatures and any other poor sap who has the misfortune to cross his bloody path of revenge.

“We have large shoes to fill following the success of the previously released God of War titles,” said Stig Asmussen, Game Director for God of War 3. “But with refined gameplay and jaw-dropping visuals, I guarantee that God of War will give fans what they have been eagerly waiting for, and much more.”

All I have to say in the matter is that Sony better not screw this up or gamers will be screaming at Sony using the best Chuck Heston line ever: “You maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!”
