That's great! I was gonna ask if you had them all. This is chronological order: Chains of Olympus God of War 1 Ghost of Sparta God of War 2 God of War 3 EDIT: But as mad_krips said, it would be better to play GoW1 first. Chains spoils some things in GoW1.

I'd still say play God of War 1 first. Cause if you play the Origins collection first and then you play 1 you will feel they are 'introducing' Kratos to you when you've already learned about who he is now from the other two games. Do GOW1 1st, then Origins Collection, then back to 2 then 3.

I could get behind that. In fact, I just remembered something important so it would be best to play GoW1. Chains of Olympus would spoil some big parts in GoW1.

God of War 1, Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, God of War 2, God of War 3 on "Hero" or medium then play again on HARD ... and once more on EASY for good measure. Then go back and study Greek mythology for 6 months, then play them again on Medium and then you will believe you are Kratos reincarnated. Just don't go all crazy ...

God of War and God of War 2 first then God or War 3. The other two are side stories/prequels. Just stick with the mains.

i've been seeing alot of people asking which order they should play. i'm pretty sure, not i am sure, you play it god1, 2, 3, then the side stories, really they wouldn't of done it that way if they wanted you to play it any other way, the origins is a side story, there ment to be played after the main story, to fill some gaps in the series. but if you play them first, it spoils the games, because your'll already no why that happens and will make the story not so good.
