I recently hit a bug in God of War 3 that forced me to start the game over entirely from scratch. I reached a section in Hades where I'm supposed to fight two giant hellhounds. That sequence never triggered, so I couldn't continue any further. This may be an isolated situation (no one else I know ran into this problem) but lesson learned: Keep multiple save files.
Even though I lost a few hours of progress, I didn't exactly mind because — holy crap — the first 20 minutes of GOW3 are beyond epic. I felt like I was going up against the final boss, not playing through an introductory chapter.
