Thunderbolt writes: "God of War on PSP is an interesting pairing, yet one which can't help but feel a little conflicting. The franchise is best known for its epic boss battles, mythical stories, and colossal settings, so when it was announced that a new God of War game would be coming to Sony's PSP, speculation was running high. It sounds like it shouldn't work, but Ready at Dawn have done a sensational job of bringing the world of God of War alive on PSP. Put simply, God of War: Chains of Olympus is an exceptional game that every PSP owner should experience.
The visuals are what makes the game such a technical achievement, and are easily the best ever for a handheld game. Textures stand out with an impressive sharpness, while the locations are modelled with an extreme sense of care and hard work. The environments are always filled with history and character, and the scenery that accompanies them are just as well designed, with the enormous statues truly a sight to behold. There are many times when the camera will zoom out slowly as Kratos walks down a path, and it is these signature moments that make God of War such a legendary series, it is these moments when the sheer scale of the world Kratos roams is presented, and in such pure beauty."
Pros:
-Truly Epic locations
-Intense combat suits perfectly to the PSP's control layout
-Masterful storytelling
-Majestic orchestral score
Cons:
-Short length, especially for a God of War game
The must play PSP Games every gamer will enjoy.
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.
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.

We can expect to see games from the original PlayStation, PS2, and PSP generations plus cloud streaming of PS3 games."
Should change that headline to: "Old School Titles We Definitely Aren't Going to Get In the New PS Plus Subscription"
Rising Zan because Pushman is the best voice acted boss in the history of gaming.
Konami RPGs---Ring of Red, Azure Dreams and Suikoden.
Thousand Arms, Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Persona 1, both Persona 2 and Persona 3 from Atlus.
Any of those would make me happy. Ogre Battle and Azure Dreams the happiest.
