Amazon has revealed a brand new screenshot, the temporary box art in addition to the price of the recently-announced Playstation 3 compilation, God of War: Origins Collection.
Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.
I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.
But here’s how I rank them
5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.
Wow, that’s pretty interesting that someone has the same ranking as me haha. So, did you beat Ragnarok? I assume so with you placing it at #1
1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1
Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.
I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.
However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.
I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.
I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.
No diminishing violence or rage in the God of War's first pocket sized adventure.
MenStuff: "Remastered re-releases of classic old games (or some games that aren’t even that old) seem to be the flavour of the week in the gaming world, but while many may roll their eyes at the obvious cash-in opportunity for publishers, there are some incredible collections that give players who missed out on a franchise’s early entries, or those who played them a shot of reinvigorated nostalgia, for a great price."
These are all great. The amount of effort in God of War: Origins Collection is crazy, check out the article on it:

And if we were to add a single HD remaster of a game, Ōkami HD deserves a mention. It's a technical marvel, with the in-house resolution being 4k and then downsampled to 1080p for use on the PS3. Article about it here:

It's a beast. Definitely a labor of love, and after having already got the platinum for it, I replayed through it again after reading this article due to added appreciation for it
God of war to this date is, all time best in both series and sales. Men lie, Women lie, Number Don't
I hope we get more PSP games on the PS3. I like the idea of being able to play them in HD.
I wonder if Square Enix plan to release a HD version of Crisis Core? That would be great! The only games I own on PSP is GoW: CoO, Crisis Core and Dissidia. If CC gets a HD release I will just sell my PSP and buy it on PS3! It's just a shame that these HD PSP collections won't have trophies.
MAJOR Edit:
Scrap my trophy comment. I just seen this fact sheet that shows I was wrong... http://www.examiner.com/vid... (I'm sure I read somewhere that these games wouldn't have trophies...)
Wow $59.99 kinda steep but wtf im a big god of war fan so that price means nothing to me and it's getting trophies so i'm sold.
$59.99?!
Dang, I've already got the PSP games, but I wanted to get this for the bigscreen. I'm kind of reconsidering now.
WAY too expensive for PSP games! I'll wait.
