Killing a God of Olympus? Piece of cake. Killing all of them? In that case, you may have your hands full. Such is the massive task set before players in "God of War 3," the anticipated culmination of Sony's hugely popular "God of War" series. When the game launches on March 16, gamers will get to see what becomes of Kratos and whether he's able to fulfill his epic quest for revenge.

For newcomers, the "God of War" series tells the story of Kratos, a Spartan soldier in ancient Greece who becomes a warrior for the Gods themselves. With his newfound power, Kratos enters combat with such ferocity that, in an unfortunate accident, he ends up killing his wife and daughter. It's in his despair that he curses the Gods and proclaims that he'll seek vengeance against them.

"God of War 3" is the first time the series has come to the PlayStation 3, and with the latest technology, the developers have managed to pull off some pretty spectacular visuals. Kratos' journey will see him climb Mount Olympus and the boosted hardware allows for incredible vistas, hundreds of enemies on screen and 1,000-feet-tall bosses. There's little question that this is one of the best-looking games ever made.

It's also one of the goriest. There's some intensely graphic violence to be found in "God of War 3," ranging from detailed decapitations to first-person eye gouges. Children and those with weak stomachs should probably be kept far, far away from this one.

For everyone else, though, "God of War 3" is an epic adventure worthy of the silver screen. If you own a PS3 and you've been looking for an exclusive release to be proud of since "Uncharted 2," Kratos' latest adventure fits the bill nicely.
