God of War is a pretty good franchise, with already two full titles launched, one of which for the PlayStation Portable system, and a third installment soon to follow. The lead protagonist, Kratos, is battling mythological creatures in the times of Ancient Greece and in God of War: Chains of Olympus, he will journey to lands that no mortal has ever walked upon. With the world plunged in eternal darkness and the Gods rendered powerless, Kratos will face the most feared creatures of the Greek Mythology, and he will ultimately be forced to choose between his own personal redemption and saving the ancient world from certain destruction, according to the storyline.
