Re: God Of War III: Ultimate Edition and Pre-Order Bonus items!
Review is up at Joystiq:

Sounds like they enjoyed it. Although apparently the story line isn't as good as past iterations. Still really looking forward to this one.

Re: God Of War III: Ultimate Edition and Pre-Order Bonus items!
I was going to wait on this, but I don't think I can anymore. Is there a consensus on the best deal during release week?

That joystiq review has spoilers, fyi.
I just ordered it from Amazon. $57 shipped plus a $10 credit. Probably better deals out there though.

The spoilers in that Joystiq review were present in the demo, so if you played that, you're safe.

Re: God Of War III: Ultimate Edition and Pre-Order Bonus items!
X-play had their review today and gushed about it. They didn't have a bad thing to say about it.
I'm debating whether to pick it up on Tuesday or wait a few weeks and ask for it for my birthday.

Keep in mind those TRU promotional GCs usually expire (I'd guess this one will be end of April or May) so if you're not planning on going back that soon, you might reconsider. Also they don't activate until 6 hours after purchase, so don't expect to use it immediately since you're already in the store.

Since those expire and I never know the next game I'm getting, I just drop those promo cards on MS Point cards. Those always come in handy.

Under 9 hours and no multi-player (not that I expected a multi-player component, but usually when a game doesn't have one, the campaigns are much longer)...
I'm still getting it, but it's kinda disappointing that it's even shorter than GoW2, which while it was lean with no fat, could've been a little longer.

As funny as that commercial is, it can't touch this...

Re: God Of War III: Ultimate Edition and Pre-Order Bonus items!
I think GoW might be one of those "review proof" games. Folks really loved the first two and will likely buy the new one.
It might even sell a few PS3s.
