Just like Hollywood in the mid-80s the last few years have seen a barrage of quality action games explode on to scene. Half-Life 2 had stunning set-pieces, Resident Evil 4 had rock-solid pacing and now God of War II has the most brutal, visceral combat of any action game on PC or consoles. Kratos could chin Schwarzenegger as well.

In typical God of War style you're flung straight in to the action, manoeuvring the newly-devine Kratos around a chaotic city under siege. Thanks to a mix of great art and plenty of smoke and mirrors it looks gorgeous, and the brutal slashing-and-grabbing combat is way more intense then anything we've experienced on Sony and Microsoft's wallet-crushing boxes.
