Egotastic
Pay close attention to the early parts of this so-called "launch" trailer for God of War: Ascension because it's precisely how the game begins. Kratos chained up yet still going at it with a multi-armed nasty old woman is the first thing you'll play. We've all had dreams where we're all muscular and wake up chained down with a woman writhing around in front of us. I know I have. But this Kratos scene went and ruined that dream for me permanently because this chick is doing it all wrong. All the hissing, taunting and slicing with weapons is just too much. So this scene to kick off the game works on an emotional level because you're ready to slit this spider-lady's gullet and get on with an adventure. Plus she's one of the Furies --the game's main antagonists-- so you will be seeing plenty of her and others just like her later on.
Check out the trailer because the other story elements revealed in the trailer are cool too but that Fury really chaps my hide.
We Shake Loose A Few More Reasons You Want Bioshock Infinite
It turns out we weren't done. After offering you Seven Reasons Why You Want Bioshock Infinite just recently, a late night of hot chocolate and animal crackers induced a warm sugar stupor that opened our minds to even more reasons this game is so drool worthy. Sometimes it's like that. Other times, we're cuddled up around a bottle of Pepto after a late night wrestling with complications brought on by Buffalo meatballs and cabbage stew. That leads to drooling too.
Have a look at what recently became clear to us about Bioshock Infinite because this game is already knocking on the door of Best of 2013 and that damn thing isn't even out yet. What we know so far is that good.
