God of War III, Bayonetta, Dante's Inferno and Darksiders are four upcoming hack 'n' slash games that are showing some amazing potential. But how do they stack up against each other? Go to the source to find out...

Now that the dust has settled from the best E3 in years, we can take a moment to process the years’ worth of upcoming-release insanity that we took in over four days – and that means making early, snap judgments based on what we’ve seen and played. One of the biggest and best presents for PS3 fans this year was a playable demo of the long-awaited God of War III, and it was joined on the show floor by a few games that clearly took their cues from Kratos’ past exploits (or were at least similar enough for us to draw comparisons between them). But are they worthy adversaries, or merely pretenders to the throne? Only by dissecting each one can we decide for sure!

    If GoW3 stays true to the original games and expands on them, so far it looks like:

    GoW3 > DI > Darksiders > Bayonetta

    And Castlevania? Of course, Kratos violently crushes any opposition without any effort and lets them bleed...profusely.

    Isn't this simply a matter of opinion?

    Also: Of course more people are going to say God of War will be better, its a series with an established fanbase whereas these other games are all new.

    That being said. I gotta say I'm looking forward to Darksiders and Bayonetta the most out of those.

    God of War 3. No question. An established critically acclaimed series going up against two new IPs is just unfair.
