Playing through the God of War series in the worst way possible may have come back to haunt me as I'm playing the HD version of the first game after having beaten Chains, Ghost, and 3, so I get to see the rough beginnings of that series (weird 2005 PS2-style menu/HUD, R2 is used for everything instead of the standard O button, and the visuals look really rough compared to the evolution of that style over the next four games).
