Promised @corybarlog I wouldn’t talk about God of War until it was out. I can finally say this game is the real deal. The bar for action/narrative games has been raised. Congrats to the team @SonySantaMonica !! pic.twitter.com/rMxFjgXSDO

2am playing God of War like I’m 15 again. Fuck, haven’t felt the need to keep playing a game like this in a real long time.

Like not turning the game off because meh I’m tired of it, but turning it off because I know I have work tomorrow.
