"The second of the God of War HD remakes to hit the shelves in recent times, Collection Vol 1 brought the PS2 masterpieces into the HD world making huge strides in terms of graphics. Collection Vol 2 takes the previously “only on PSP” games and brings them to the PS3 again with a HD remake just this time not as dramatic as they already looked pretty dam good"
PS3 gamers finally get the chance to play the God of War games previously reserved for PSP owners, Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta. This time we get to see what happened in Kratos's life before the adventures of the original God of War.
Several pack shots have been revealed for the God of War Complete Collection (previously known as the God of War: Master Collection) on Playstation 3.
"Sometimes game companies just like disappointing everyone they can; apparently the God of War Master Collection will only be available in Germany. Take a moment to let the bitter disappointment just sink in to your heart. The God of War Master Collection includes the entire trilogy plus the two PSP games re-mastered in HD."
According to Amazon Germany, there is another God of War collection headed to retailers - and it's a big one that includes every entry in the series to date.
If you’re anything like me, you need more Kratos in your life and Ready At Dawn is ready to deliver just that. The Origins Collection launches September 13, 2011 and includes both Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta titles previously only released on PSP. Pre-orders have just started at Amazon for a whopping $59.99.
"There’s no questioning that God of War is one of the most mind-numbingly bad-ass franchises to come along in recent memory. From the game’s beautiful environments to the way Kratos engages in fierce battles against enraged mythological enemies, God of War is an outstanding action-adventure series and one of the most enjoyable gameplay experiences available. But as impressive as it may be, a few changes and additions wouldn’t hurt the God of War series. It might even thrive from some effective..."

According to several online retailers, Sony Computer Entertainment America will be releasing new Ultimate Combo Packs for the Playstation 3 this holiday season.
"Can video games ever be truly classified as art? This is an on-going debate that often raises heated opinions. Usually the arguments exist on opposite poles, either condemning games as nothing more than entertainment that will never be considered art ( in the case of Roger Ebert*), or screaming from the rooftops that games are the greatest art form of the modern era. The most sensible of folk sit on the fence, declaring that of course games are art, for art is a subjective item that can never..."
Sometimes it's just fun to be mean, especially when there are no real consequences. Be honest, if you could poke the bear without getting mauled, you'd poke the bear. Video games at times provide an unparelled outlet with which gamers can be real jerks. And among all of gaming's jerks, there's no bigger than Kratos. New England Gamer reflects on the ghost of Sparta in preperation for, well... God of War: Ghost of Sparta.
"Some remakes just shouldn't have been made in the first place. If you ever have the chance, don't check out Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. Probably one of the worst remakes I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. A remake of the excellent 360 version, and built from the ground up for the Wii, Chop Till You Drop does everything wrong. The ability to take photographs was completely removed (which is odd, considering that the protagonist, Frank West, is a photographer...), the amount of zombie..."

"Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Many people have a specific game reason when purchasing a console. You might have purchased a Super Nintendo because of Super Mario World or a Nintendo 64 because of Goldeneye 007. Many people finally went out and purchased a Playstation 3 because of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. This explosive PS3 exclusive game was one of the most positively received games of this generation and still ranks on many lists as one of the greatest games of all time."
Sony apparently sent out a survey containing a question that asked fans to suggest a Playstation 2 series that should be remastered (similar to God of War Collection) on the Playstation 3.
"Both Sony and Microsoft could learn a little something from Nintendo and how they handle their major franchises and mascots. Microsoft has milked the Halo franchise to the point that the original developer can’t stand the idea of making another one. Sony on the other hand has pushed the God of War franchise a bit too much (six releases, with a seventh coming in Ghost of Sparta in under five years), but hasn’t sacrificed quality for quantity as fans of the series and critics alike both rave ab..."
"In the world of games the male lead has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. Among the things a hero has to accomplish is being a tough guy or a bad-ass in this case. While plenty have accomplished this throughout the history of gaming, few have made major impacts in gaming in the last ten years. What does it take to be a bad-ass you ask? Well first of all you have to be able to hold your own in a fight despite all the odds being stacked against you. There's no denying that the guys on o..."

"Playstation 3 owners have a few great games to choose from for the holidays even if the majority of games are multi-platform. Choosing one of them for the PS3 console might be dependent of many factors such as what consoles you own and how the game differs from console to console. Here is a list of the top five games that I recommend people to put on their list of either games to ask for or games to give."
"Greek mythology as a video game genre is one of the few that hasn’t been regurgitated to death. The God of War franchise does a very good job of melding actual Greek mythology with custom storylines, compelling characters, and great gameplay. Couple the non-stop action with some brilliantly designed levels, and God of War becomes a recipe for an epic saga. Any PlayStation fan who isn’t familiar with the PS2 series now has the perfect opportunity to get acquainted before the release of God of ..."

Posted on the official PlayStation blog, Stephen Peterson former Lead QA Tester for God of War II and current Camera Designer on God of War III, walks us through one of the most difficult trophies in the game. This gold trophy can be earned if you can get through the 15 min fight in Loom Chamber (God of War II) in less than 10 min. Stephen, having played the game hundreds of times, has some ..."

Aside from updated graphics, the game also comes equipped with trophy support this time around. If you have played the previous two incarnations, then you'll know exactly what to expect gameplay wise. We have taken several pictures of the box and the innards."
When the God of War Collection was announced to have trophies, many gamers thought of it would word. Will the game have separate trophy list for each game, or one huge list with one platinum? Well the good news is the game will have two separate trophies, which means two platinum trophies.
