Heavenly Sword

Sometimes referred to as the female god of war, this game did not disappoint. I actually first saw this game as a demo before I even bought a PS3 and damn did it impress me. From the extremely detailed environments to the over the top perfect animations and voice acting this game was the actual reason I had to have the PS3. This game was also one of the first games to use the six axis function of the controllers to maneuver anything from cannonballs to weapons and arrows. This game expertly weaves a story together that draws you in and leaves you wanting to finish the story and find out the ending. You not only feel for the heroine but also for the villans because of how well their personalities were crafted. Some of the game-play does get repetitive but the over the top supermoves and combo counter makes up for the repetitive nature. Everything about this game definitely beyond average and near perfect. Plus how can you go wrong with a smoking hot scantily clad ginger wielding a sword bigger than her entire body? Jerad rates this game a solid 6 out of 5!
