			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I dedicated my entire Saturday afternoon to marathon the newly release God of War III, and finally completed it in the early wee hours of Sunday. So here are some of my quick thoughts on the game:</p>
<blockquote><p>Personally I thought God of War III gave a nice conclusion to the entire God of War series. The boss battles are definitely some of the best I&#8217;ve ever experienced and its incredibly satisfying to battle an enormous boss of epic proportion like the titan Cronos. My favorite boss battle were the ones against Poseidon and Hercules. The game is also one of the most brutal in the series with awesome rendering of the blood and gore. All the elements just adds up to a great game and reaffirms that Kratos is one of the baddest ass in the gaming world.</p></blockquote>
<p>I came across this list of nutrition facts of God of War III and thought it is a great way to sum up the game:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yakuza 4 was launched in Japan yesterday and if you have gotten yourself a copy like me, then you might have heard the familiar voice of seiyuu Aya Hirano (平野 綾).</p>

<p>Well Aya Hirano actually lend her voice to Hana, who is the secretary of Shun Akiyama (秋山 駿), who is one of the four protagonist in the game. Hana is a very interesting character and Aya Hirano definitely did a good job injecting that kawaii fun personality into Hana.</p>
