The recently-revealed God of War: Ascension proves that prequels will continue to be an attractive way for developers to extend the life of a series without having to worry about the consequences and story concerns that come with making a sequel. Still, this announcement made us wonder which release is the greatest prequel in gaming history.

Dante's inferno... such a great GoW inspired game. So sad the sequel was canned, it sounded like it was going to be even more epic than the first.
I just can’t get into the devil may cry series. In my opinion you never feel powerful in those games. The guns are pointless as they only serve to be a flashy part of a combo. DMC was the only one that I could tolerate long enough to beat.
MGS3. None can compete with Big Boss.
Well, it's better than MGS2 and MGS4. I will give it that.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time... surprised anyone?
Sorry A Link to the Past, it really was a tough choice.
From the Beginning you Know the End
Nuff said.
I'm not sure Ascension is a prequel. If Kratos travels back in time and saves his family, as some have speculated based on what's actually said in the reveal video, then it's not a prequel. Anyway, MGS3 gets my vote.
