God of War III: Remastered

Lavish presentation

Kratos carves a brutal, spectacularly staged path of vengeance through Greek mythology, from the Underworld to Mount Olympus. Fast chain-blade combat, colossal bosses and occasional puzzles make for a cinematic action showpiece.

God of War II

Lavish presentation

Kratos wages a vengeful war against Olympus, allied with the Titans, in a brutal combo-driven hack-and-slash. Its colossal boss fights, like the Colossus of Rhodes, and its inventive environmental puzzles pushed the PS2 to its limits.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta

Lavish presentation

You play Kratos in a prequel adventure set between the first two games, with brutal combos, mythic bosses and puzzles built around the wings of Icarus. This HD version from the Origins Collection runs smoothly at 60 frames per second on the home console.

BloodRayne: Betrayal

Jumping and platforming

A brutal 2D hack-and-slash platformer with detailed HD sprites, gory combat and a steep difficulty curve. You play the dhampir Rayne, carving through a gothic world with precise melee and jumping challenges.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Jumping and platforming

A much grittier sequel where the Prince flees the relentless Dahaka and leaps between past and present on the Island of Time. Acrobatic traversal, time-rewinding powers and a deeper dual-weapon combat system define it, backed by a heavy metal soundtrack.

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Jumping and platforming

A classic, demanding Castlevania action platformer where you whip your way through Dracula's domain as Richter Belmont. Hidden routes, the rescuable Maria as a playable character and a superb soundtrack make it a cult favourite.
