God of War III

Story

God of War III picks up directly from the end of God of War II, with a rousing opening speech by Zeus in which he talks about the deeds of the villain Kratos, who "commands" a small army of Titans rescued from the Great War (with the help of the power of the Fates). The Olympians immediately rush into battle; Helios rides his chariot across Olympus, Hermes races down the peaks of Olympus while Zeus watches, Hercules is ordered to lead his troops into battle, Hades, in his giant form, swoops down on several Titans, and Poseidon (using his aquakinesis) swoops down from Olympus like a missile and delivers a death blow through the chest to Epimetheus. Poseidon is the biggest threat in the battle, having already decimated numerous Titans, and soon sets his sights on Gaia herself. Kratos attacks the god of the sea, and after pulling him into Gaia's grasp, he manages to knock the weakened Poseidon out of his divine form and onto a separate platform. The two argue briefly before Kratos approaches the sea god and brutally beats him, eventually gouging out his eyes and breaking his neck before throwing him into the sea. After Poseidon's death, a catastrophe occurs and the sea level rises considerably, resulting in a flood that seems to swallow the entire world and wipes out almost all of humanity, except for those living on top of Olympia.
