Well guys the first review for God of War Chains of Olympus are in thanks to Game informer. And it gets rated 9/10 and Handheld Game of the Month Award.
Pretty good for the Chains of Olympus Prequel to God of War 1 where Kratos is serving the gods for 10 years.

"The highly-anticipated God of War: Chains of Olympus for the Sony PlayStation Portable has just gone gold, with the announcement coming from none other than developer Ready at Dawn studios themselves. It's been a long time coming, and if the demo was anything to go by, it's definitely worth the wait."

"The March issue of EGM should be arriving for subscribers around this time, and as usual Quartermann has some rumors for us, and particularly juicy ones at that!

The one I am most interested in is that Dead Rising 2 is in the works (ya think?) for multiple consoles, but instead of Capcom developing it directly, a Los Angeles based developer is taking care of it. Dead Rising 2 rumors seem to have become a sort of fad, something that people will throw out there just for some news. I hope thi..."

"“Can anyone explain to me how having ONE console would be bad for gamers? Or game developers for that matter?” asks Jaffe. “One game publisher would be bad. One giant game developer would be bad. I get how those things would hurt gamers. But why would one unified hardware platform?”"

Unfortunately, we have little more info that we care share with you at this date; however, please check back for updates, as new information comes in."

"Sony Computer Entertainment has finally (probably accidentally) confirmed a third God of War game for the PlayStation 3."

"Cory Barlog- "What is up God of War fans? Sorry for the long hiatus but things have been crazy here at Casa De Kratos…much to do. I thought I would come out of my somewhat self imposed media coma to let everyone know that the PSP demo discs are freaking done baby!!! As I type these words, legions of carrier Harpies are being dispatched to deliver the sweet UMD goodness that is God of War: Chains of Olympus – Special edition: Battle of Attica Demo Disc…otherwise know as GOW: COO –SE:BoADD. Goo..."

"We told you God of War: Chains of Olympus wasn't coming until next year a couple of weeks ago but we've now learnt the actual release date.

March 4th 2008, then, is when you can expect the UMD of the promising title to be spinning in your PSP.

But only if you live in the US. Currently, the European date is still down as 'early 2008', which sounds encouragingly close to the American date but until we have something more specific then we'll obviously keep our Kratos costume in the closet...."

"We've been following this for a few weeks now, hoping it would turn out as rumour but the delay is now effectively official.

Sony's Leipzig Games Convention God of War: Chains of Olympus press release states an early 2008 release for the game, which had originally been expected to form part of this Christmas' PSP line-up.

And although we've suffered them before, this time it isn't simply a European delay, either. A quick check of some of the major US online retailers has revealed a simi..."

- Ready At Daw..."

"Jeremy sends word of this amazing God of War-themed Playstation Portable mod created by Morpheon Mods, the guys behind the Zelda-themed Wii and DS mods. The PSP has been airbrushed metallic bronze and then tarnished to give it a worn look. It comes with hand-sculpted symbols that have been copper-leafed onto the handheld ad real chains edge the system. Even the buttons were removed and replaced with copper versions. Finally the shoulder buttons have been replaced with crystal red buttons that..."

"While the game may be delayed until next year, that doesn't mean we can't get a little taste of God of War: Chains of Olympus in 2007. Apparently, the development team revealed to Kotaku that we'd be seeing a demo of the PSP blockbuster on September 7, which is now a very big day for Sony's portable.

They also posted several comments made by game director Ru Weerasuriya:

"It's no easy task bringing God of War to the PSP. Fans have come to expect these huge landscapes, complex gameplay a..."

"All right, enough already, let’s chat a bit about the PSP. I hear that the official news about unlocking the PSP processor speed is out there. Many people are asking if God of War: Chains of Olympus is going to take advantage of this. The short answer is yes we are! Ready at Dawn has been doing some pretty amazing stuff with the PSP since the early days of the platform. Every time I see a new build I am more amazed with what we’re able to pull off with the PSP. I mean, 1080p on the PSP…who wo..."

The short answer is yes we are!""
