Blades of Chaos design

My opinion probably one of the best game series i have ever played on for the PS2 and PS3 is God of War. As it is set in the times of Greek Mythology it is an all action game filled with blood and gore, played by the violent and troubled character Kratos. What really makes the game so graphically brutal are the weapons used in the games. I especially like the design of main weapons the blades of chaos which are used throughout the game. The blades are designed as big thick jagged daggers with hooked spikes around the edges and the handles are shaped like a creature with an open mouth. The handles are then connected to Kratos arms with the use of long chains which allows him to use the blades like whips. what really makes the idea of this weapon so good is the realistic 3D detail used to create them. As the designers have kept a primitive dark feel to them but yet they act in the game like an a advanced sword.
