Best Boss Battles of God of War - Part 3

10 Best Boss Battles of the God of War Trilogy



Hades

In the underworld of God of War III, Kratos must fight against Hades and his summoned legions of the dead. When Kratos finally confronts Hades, he must use the chains from his Blades of Chaos to rip the god’s soul from his body.


Colossus of Rhodes


In God of War II, the Colossus of Rhodes is a statue of the sun god Helios, brought to life when Zeus transfers some of Kratos’ power into it. The player must fight through the city of Rhodes to confront the Colossus head-on and pierce through it to destroy it from the inside out. This serves as good preparation for the player to face increasingly difficult bosses later on in the game.


Poseidon

In God of War III, when Kratos climbs up to Mount Olympus on the titan Gaia, he has another force to contend with. Kratos battles against the water steeds of the god Poseidon on the surface of Gaia’s body. Frustrated she weakens Poseidon and pulls him off of her, inadvertently assisting Kratos and paving the way for him to deliver a critical blow to the water god -- knocking him back to his original form. Kratos is now at a face off with Poseidon’s human version, whom he kills by gruesomely gouging out his eyes and snapping his neck.

Cronos
Arguably the greatest boss fight in God of War’s history. Cronos, a titan from God of War III, is who Kratos goes up against; and just like Gaia, Kratos attacks him by climbing up his body -- the sheer scale of which dwarfs the 8-foot tall Kratos, who must rely on his Blades of Chaos and ultimate power as the God of War.
Cronos can blow a gust of wind, knocking Kratos off of himself and repeatedly throws the force of his henchman at the player. Kratos must cut off parts of Cronos’ body, starting with tearing off his fingernail. When Kratos is eventually being swallowed by the beast, he takes his blade and cuts open Cronos’ heart from the inside out.

vRAM - 4 GB vs 2 GB

Get much for an extra $50? Take the NVidia GTX 960, for example. This mid-range card offers 2 GB and 4 GB versions, respectively -- at about a $50 discrepancy between the two cards. That being what the cost of a whole new game, for some, this makes the world of difference.     GTA V A memory-hungry game to the fullest; where the more vRAM, the better. That is, the 970's 3.5 GB is just about the bare minimum, to run this game at max, 60 FPS. The 960's 4 GB are not fully taken advantage of on the lower GM206 Maxwell architecture. Therefore any additional vRAM here would be best for a more constant frame rate, with less dips and stutters between lowest and highest framerate. While this can be easily rectified with vSync enabled - you do get about 3-5 FPS higher on the four GB model of the GTX 960. You can enable far more advanced graphics options in GTA V with 4 or more GB of vRAM - namely ancillary settings like higher population density, depth of view,...

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 G...
