The original PS2/PS3 trilogy is solid and a lot of fun. It's incredibly cheesy and ham-fisted but in a good way IMO. The setting being ancient Greece is stunning, and if you can find the HD release of GoW1-2 and the ps3 GOW3 for cheap, you'll have a good weekend. There's lots of bare-breasted ladies, there's a sex mini game, you can rip the heads off of certain enemies and the puzzles and secrets are decent for the fact that it's an action RPG.
However if you are expecting a 1:1 faithful rendition of ancient Greece and the mythology being 100% accurate, you'll be disappointed.

I haven't personally played any of the prequel/spinoff/sequels for other consoles like the PSP games but I have heard they are closer in spirit to the original trilogy than Dad of War.

The PSP games are just original GOW trilogy gameplay on a smaller screen, unless you play the PS3 ports. Good games.

Old E3 had the entire industry playing along, including devs dropping news/trailers while not even being on the floor. I still miss the live demos whether they be on the floor or in the presentations.

Old e3 was also bullshit access journalism for nepobabies and failures with journalism and communications majors. Were you attending e3 or something? I don't give a shit about some journo getting to see an early demo that they could write about but not show footage from, or yapping over publisher provided curated background footage. E3 dying finally showed that we didn't need game journos getting paid as glorified middle-men.

The old shows were 3-4 hours that showed full demos often live on stage. Now you get a trailer with 0-10 seconds of gameplay that explains nothing. The floor was filled with nothing but live demos and people reporting on it filming 10-30 minutes of gameplay while also interviewing the devs. We literally had more game.

Did you even watch it back in the day? There was always a SHITLOAD of gameplay footage from indies that managed to buy their way in (or camp in the parking lot for the Hotline Miami devs) to AAA devs showing off what they had. Curated footage is all we get now with the direct bullshit. It leads to even more bull-trailers and builds than we had even in the twilight years of E3.

And now indies don't need to bother trying to do that to get exposure for their games, hoping that shitty game journos give them the time of day and any sort of coverage. E3 didn't become open to the public until 2017, and even then was only incredibly limited because the bulk of it still catered entirely to journos. That was 20 years of faggotry and game journos getting free vacations to Los Angeles, the occasional free console during a keynote speech, and so on.
 
Nintendo tomorrow. Twilight Princess shadow drop.
Plus a sneak peak for LOZ movie followed by an announcement for the direct for the trailer.

It's gonna suck. I can't think of a single game or a franchise that current nintendo can do/make to actually excite me. 3rd party Indies carried switch 1 and they'll eventually carry the switch 2.
