The most eagerly awaited game of 2010 will be released this month.

"It has been a long road. To be at the finish line is great, " said Stig Asmussen, who has just put the final touches on what has been called one of the most successful console videogame ever made: the fantastic action-adventure sequel "God of War III."

The game, coming March 16 for Sony's PlayStation 3 consoles, is the culmination of nine years of work and a lot of ideas all stuffed into one killer concept.

Some hardcore gamers though wonder whether "GOW III" can top the all-time fastest-selling PS3 exclusive game, "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots," which sold a whopping 1.7 million units in its opening week in 2008.

God Of War II has sold over 8.7 million copies worldwide so far and developers believe that its sequel will see the same success rate.

I have played GOW II and I must say I suffered from lack of sleep for a couple of days as I couldn't stop playing the game. Quite a captivating game indeed.

Do you love videogames and have you played the God Of War series? Will you be rushing to your local game store soon to grab a copy of the new release or are you just excited?

Let me know your thoughts.
