God of War is a video game series for the various Sony consoles. Chris is a huge fan, especially of God of War III for the PS3. As of 2010 it is one of his most favorite games, along with LittleBiGPlanet.

In stark contrast to the casual and more kid-friendly titles Chris has been known to enjoy, the God of War series is known for its violence, gore, and mature storylines based on elements of Greek mythology. When taking this into account, along with his recent endorsement of Brutal Legend and love of the Saw series of movies,[1] one could assume that Chris has a wider variety of tastes than most give him credit for; however, it is more likely that he plays for the sex-themed quicktime event in the early stages of the game, where mashing buttons elicits moans, groans, and a shaking screen.

It can also be reasoned that playing the game is yet another way for him to verify his masculinity and the fact that he is a big grown-up man. Indeed; many children play violent, overly masculine games meant for a mature audience, in order to prove that they are a member of the vaguely defined group known as "cool guys", which mostly consists of people older than them, and if the "cool guys" thinks something is awesome, like, say, a game wherein you - in graphic and gory detail - brutally mutilate creatures from Greek mythology and have sex with hot chicks in the process, the kids will think it is awesome too, and go buy it without any questions being asked. Chris, being essentially a 7-year old trapped in a obese, smelly man's body, is no different.

The games greatly "inspired" Collosal Chan's final battle against Mary Lee Walsh in the comic.[2] Which was suprisingly non-violent, especially compared to the gory murder-execution of the Asperpedia Four.
