It seems that for some the latest God of War may already be the best game ever, and it's true that it's very good, as you can read in our review. One can only imagine, then, how the creators of the game must feel, as they've spent the last five years making the game.

In fact, the director of the game - Cory Barlog - posted a video showing himself reacting to reviews on April 12; the day media was allowed to publish their reviews. You can just see the years of pressure coming off, as their troubles were all worth it, and it's really touching to witness.

"First, sorry about the quality," he said. "Shot on my macbook webcam. So, I thought a lot about whether or not to upload but then I thought of what my son, Helo, is going through right now. He doesn't want us to be around when he is sad, opting to run in another room and yell at us if we try to come in. It has been important to us to let him know that it is OK to be sad, it is OK to cry. There is nothing to hide. I thought I would try to set a good example and show him that papa can cry in front of the world, or at least the 50 people who end up watching this. :) This is for you, Helo. Papa loves you."

Well... game developers are people too. Has this touched your heart?

REVIEW. Written by Ricardo C. Esteves

"If you're a fan of God of War, you owe it to yourself to try out this new approach, and if you're not, it's quite possible this game will change that."
