If you own a PS3, there is no reason to have not played the God of War games before now. Not only will this give you a great gaming experience (and more trophies) it will also get you pumped up and ready for what is probably the most anticipated PS3 game of all time in God of War III.

Like the other games in the series, this one centers around the main character Kratos as he slices and decapitates his way to Olympus to take on the Gods who he is killing off one by one. The game takes place directly after the second installment in the series and will lead the player through the world of Greek mythology and eventually to an ending that is sure to be bloody, gory and over the top with action.

Speaking of action, this game is expected to be running in full 1080p and have some of the best fighting sequences ever to be featured in a God of War game. There will even be new weapons including the Cestus, a pair of fists shaped like lion heads. They can be used to punch through solid objects and are have abilities similar to the returning Blades of Athena. Players can also expect there to be some epic backdrops ad Kratos is out to exact revenge on the same gods that made him suffer so much.

God of War III is expected to be out on the Playstation 3 sometime in March, but there will most likely be a demo released to the public before that to get the anticipation built up even more. Make sure to mark this game down on your list of must-play titles as it is sure to be just as good, if not better, than the games that came before it.

Although not quite so common as other total war games, Kingdoms Total War is an expansion pack for Medieval Total War. And it is something not known by many people. Say it Total War series cannot advertise enough, but i say they need no advertisement in their main games apart from expansion packs, it is only the expansion packs they would need advertisement. First, there have been Saxons invasion for medieval first total war, which i only saw it once or twice mentioned in some place. Then there came many expansion packs for rome total war, such as Alexander total war, Barbarian Invasion Total War, even i am sure i saw one, maybe a mod though, Napoleon total war. All these expansion packs and mods, even though they are almost as fun to play as original ones, did not receive the desired amount of popularity among gamers. Now we are going to inspect Kingdoms Total War which is an expansion pack of Medieval 2 Total War.

This, Kingdoms total war is an interesting expansion, which is in fact, a combination of different game mods, including Crusades, Americas, Britannia and Teutonic warfare. They all have different time spans, different maps and different nations who are present. Only thing in common is that they all pass in the medieval times. In Americas, there are native American tribes along with newcomer Spaniards. The map, as can be anticipated is on central America, combined with southern USA, It is about how Spaniards discovered the new world and the campaigns of them, when conquering the land. There is Teutonic Total War, which is about Teutonic Order of Germany, declaring war upon Pagan Polish people, and claiming that their lives are forfeit. So together Poland and Lithuania form an alliance to oppose the Teutonic order. There are also the Holy Roman Empire, Denmark, Russia and Norway that are present in the map and can be entered diplomatic or military relations with.

As one of two remaining mods of the expansion Medieval Two Kingdoms Total War, there we see Crusades Total War. This one has taken Anatolia and middle easy as its map including the factions which are present at the times of Crusades, which are Kingdom of Jerusalem, Egypt, Turks, Byzantine Empire, and later, Venetians. And also invasion of Mongols is not something to be ignored. During the game, other crusades are called and more reinforcements arrive for crusading factions. And last of the mods of the expansion is Britannia mod, which takes the British Islands as map only. It does not include northern France or anything. And all the nations that are present today there, are present there also but as independent nations, with addition of Norway. This, in my opinion is the most historically expanding mod of this expansion as England aims to conquer all the British islands while others trying to defend themselves. Scotland stays ignorant until the time for them comes, and they start pushing back after a certain time. When looked at generally, it is the best mod of this expansion in my opinion.
