Sometimes it's just fun to be mean, especially when there are no real consequences. Be honest, if you could poke the bear without getting mauled, you'd poke the bear. Video games at times provide an unparelled outlet with which gamers can be real jerks. And among all of gaming's jerks, there's no bigger than Kratos. New England Gamer reflects on the ghost of Sparta in preperation for, well... God of War: Ghost of Sparta.

Yesterday, I went to GameStop and reserved a copy of God of War: Ghost of Sparta. It was I’ll admit, yet another unnecessary addition to my ever expanding collection of games I need to finish. That said, God of War is just one of those franchises I can’t resist. The games are just too well made and playing as leading man/on-and-off-deity Kratos is the purest of guilty pleasures. He embodies most every bad quality a human being could have. He’s rage driven, murderous, utterly devoted to vengeance, and wholly willing to destroy the world if that’s what it takes to get it. He’s like a giant toddler perpetually locked in a tantrum, but endowed with the power to actually wreck the world around him.
