Best Boss Battles of God of War - Part 2 of 3

10 Best Boss Battles of the God of War Trilogy



Hydra

The Hydra in God of War is the first boss battle in the series -- and serves as an introduction to the game and the mythology behind it. After killing the Hydra’s many heads, Kratos confronts the Hydra king on a ship.
After the player climbs up a net to reach the wooden platform atop the mast. The Hydra’s roar is enough to send Kratos careening off of the platform. Kratos pushes the Hydra’s head down onto the ship’s mast, impaling and killing it.



Kraken

In God of War III Kratos battles a Kraken. During the fight Kratos uses the body of a dead spartan soldier to weigh down on pressure pads that allow him to fly up and cut off the Kraken’s tentacles.
The Kraken realizes Kratos’ plan and eats the body. Kratos must then dislodge the Kraken from the pillars it’s holding on to and deliver a final blow with an extendable bridge.
Ares
In God of War Ares is the final boss of the game and the series’ first battle against a god. After retrieving Pandora’s Box, Kratos grows in size to contend with Ares, who transforms into a more beastly god. Ares torments Kratos with memories of how he (tricked by Ares himself) had slain his wife and child. Kratos officially becomes the God of War by driving a massive blade through Ares’ throat.

Review of the Alienware Graphics Amplifier

Laptop VS Desktop? Have both. What is a "graphics amplifier"? In essence an external GPU you can plug right into your system. Many companies have tried to release these onto the market, but sadly many haven't gotten past announcement phase. Users either resort to painstakingly building custom external graphics cards with components purchased all over the web or simply tossing aside their laptop and building a $10000 gaming PC for their graphics power needs. Both are acceptable, but Alienware and Razor (or any other company to announce one aain) give you another option: a mini-tower outfitted with a build-in PSU and cooling fan for your graphics power needs. Easier and More Flexible Wouldn't it be great to bring your laptop to work, coming back to your home office 2 hours later and gaming away as if it were that $10000 desktop? What a versatile workstation! No stray red, black and yellow cables sticking out of a shoebox or melted GPUs.

Level Design in God of War (Part 1)

Becoming the God of War God of War is one of the most-critically acclaimed franchises to ever hit the Playstation market. In this pipeline deconstruction, I will refer to elements of the series as a whole. Dominus the main character in concept, needed to be summed up in a single word -- wrath . Covered in the ash of his wife and child, the character is a demigod who seeks revenge on the gods who betrayed him. Once the artists stripped away his armor and shield, the character’s true raw, animalistic side was exposed. Tall with upper-body musculature, covered in ashes and hunched over with his signature Blades of Chaos, Dominus was a force to be reckoned with. Dominus set the stage for the today’s Playstation mascot -- Kratos. Level Design Mood and exploration is a staple part of level design in God of War . Areas that are more open are also relatively barren; while many objects are placed around smaller areas like rooms. I think this encourages the player’s sense o
