Kratos, the main character in the God of War series and the most iconic character created to be played in the Playstation consoles, is dead and still he keeps coming back and every time he does, he is better than ever. Sure, the real god of war was Ares and in fact he appears in the first installment of the series as such. In this story Kratos is a Spartan warrior, the fiercest and most ruthless of them all.

DC Universe online

DC Universe Online is the name of the next MOMRPG video game that pits the superheroes of the DC universe against their evil counterparts. As a player you can be part of the game by creating your own character (an avatar of sorts) and in turn be another superhero or supervillain according to your preferences. The story begins with a future version of Lex Luthor that travels to the past in order to warn Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman (the Big Three) about a chain of events that will result in their deaths and as a consequence the doom of Earth. Presented as a promotional trailer, the beginning sequence of the game is one of the most superb pieces I have seen. My favorite part: seeing Superman realize his mistake when he returns to Earth just to fall inadvertently in a trap set by his greatest enemy. Priceless.
