KSD: Ive been a God of War apologist for a long time. Even after I grew out of my angry teenage phase, I still found each entry satisfyingdespite its overall grossness. The games hyperviolence does get a bit too much for me over extended play, and its colorful Ed Hardy version of Greek mythology has the subtlety of a jackhammer. Though my interest in the series has waned over the years, I still find its commitment to epic violence worth considerationeven in a gaming landscape replete with multitudes of violencebecause no matter how much anyone hates God of War and its focus on wanton aggression, no one could possibly hate it more than its protagonist, Kratos.
