Here’s the link.

I’ve heard you make this argument before, but I just don’t buy it. We’re talking videogames here. Entertainment. Toys.
Not to discredit what the medium is capable of, but there’s nothing wrong with a game that prides itself on blood and boobies. If Mario and Zelda are made for kids but can be enjoyed by all, God of War is the teenage metal kid equivalent. In both cases you’re being asked to accept entertainment that’s made with a different audience in mind, and in both cases you’re rewarded for overlooking this with an example of polish and ingenuity.
Beyond that, I know for a fact that you liked the movie 300 and God of War is no less juvenile.
