i finally finished the god of war for the psp game that i’d been playing for the last month or so. i would put in a few minutes at lunch every day and play until i reached the next save point. this was the best game that i’ve played on the psp, although that’s not saying much seeing that the majority of psp games are terrible. it is however, the most well rated psp game on ign with a 9.4.

the game is a typical 3d scroller and you earn and learn new abilities throughout the game to prepare you for the next battle. the whole point is that this mortal kratos loses his daughter (i guess she’s killed, but this is greek mythology so anything goes) and he’s looking to get her back. there’s lots of boobs and simulated sex with lesbians and other good wholesome fun. and assuming that the storyline wasn’t making it up, i learned a few things about greek mythology to boot.

i was talking about this with ben or eric the other day though that it seems that video games are just getting easier and easier. i mean they’re definitely more in depth and complex, but with so many save points and “restart from last checkpoint” type features it just requires a lot of time more than skill. i remember in the original super mario brothers if i died it was a big deal… now, half the time i’ll do stupid stuff just ’cause i know i can start again from practically the same place an unlimited number of times. but i guess that’s just me being an old man, complaining how kids these days have it easier than we did.
