God of War
God of War is an action game created by David Jaffe and Sony's Santa Monica Studio. The series is considered a flagship franchise for PlayStation consoles with nine mainline games, with the first launching in 2005 for the PlayStation 2. The series revolves around a Spartan warrior named Kratos, who was tricked into killing his family by Ares, the Greek God of War. Kratos follows a path of vengeance against the Gods, eventually attempting to settle down in ancient Norway, though he soon crosses paths with the many Norse Gods.
