God of War 3 (also known as GOW3) is the fifth game in the series, and will be released on the PS3 in 2010. This God of War 3 release will once again be as graphic and adult-oriented as the past games, so a word of warning if you've never played GOW game before and you're thinking about getting this God of War 3 release. Part of the reason for this is due to some of the violent things that you can do, such as literally tearing of the heads of your enemies without a second thought.

The game is set in the era of Greeks and Persians (think of the movie '300' and you're on the right track) where there are huge battles going on between the Greek gods. The game is very heavy on Greek mythology, and characters such as Helios and Kratos make appearances and are key to the story.

Since the game is about fighting, you'll be taking on a lot of different enemies, usually all at once. The God of War 3 release promises to boast the most on-screen enemies ever - a whopping 50. Needless to say this has got people quite excited and salivating at the prospect. This is mainly down to the PlayStation 3's vastly superior power over the PlayStation 2 (which most of the previous GOW games were released on), so the system can handle a lot more on-screen action at once.

In addition to this there will also be a much bigger selection of weapons for you to kill your enemies with. There's a real sense that Sony (the game's creators) have taken the series on a step further, and are really looking to create something special here. Early screenshots have been released and the game is looking absolutely stunning.
