"I mean, you don't exactly play God Of War for its story, and that's a good thing, because once again, Kratos just drags it down. There's always something that keeps him from being the badass that the writers want him to be... like how he now has like no character or no hook, except smashing peoples' faces against hard books."
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."
Epic is more than just impossible odds and little guys taking on big guys. Epic is when a game sends you through a moment that gets your blood running and when its over leaves you in disbelief over what just happened. New England Gamer presents the best epic moments in gaming.
"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..."
The folks at G4TV have made a music video of Kratos singing the song 'Sex Therapy' by Robyn Thicke. Every God of War fan should check it out just for laughs.
We have just created a new section for the site called "AAG's Developer Profiles". Each fortnight we will pick a developer to profile so that our readers can get an insight into the developers that make the games we know and love. Our first developer profile is on the great SCE Santa Monica Studio. Enjoy.
"Let me put this bluntly: Slamming X a bunch of times to do something mundane like open a door is not fun. It's never been fun. I'm not sure how or why developers came up with the notion that it'd be a good idea to make players sweat to accomplish seemingly simple tasks, but it's a horrible practice that should die as soon as possible.
That's not to say that there's no room for portraying "effort" in a game. There's a value in it, as it allows players to share a moment with their avatar, as..."
Over the past decade, Sony has been quite active at creating new franchises for their Playstation platforms. Their stable of new intellectual properties are diverse and, more importantly, top notch in quality.
The Kartel plays through the new Dante's Inferno demo. According to their impressions, the game is shockingly similar to God of War. While the two are totally different in hero and plot, both games are dramatically executed with action-packed brilliance, totally immersing players in each of their respective worlds.
After a brief hiatus and a little tooling in the inner workings behind Binge Gamer, The Bender podcast is back with a tighter show. We hit up the piracy topic (ie the lines being drawn between downloading something versus selling something downloaded), talk a little about the Shadow Complex controversy, and of course how the G-Force demo is kind of cool.

All Age Gaming's Phong Nguyen bring's us the 9th AAG "The Week That Was". In this week's edition he talks about a possible Wii price cut, V8's in Forza 3, God Of War and more!
After recently announced the re-mastered God Of War collection, fans cried out with joy. The game will be releasing late fall, but currently only for NA. SCEE have said that EU won't be getting it this calender year. So hopefully early 2010 or you can just import it.
"Below we have a list of possibly some of the best endings out there. But be warned, everyone probably has a special game in their heart with an ending that gave them goose bumps and made them feel all gooey on the inside, but sadly we cannot cover them all."
"Thanks to your feedback, we are excited to announce the God of War Collection for this Holiday Season. Now fans and newcomers to the series can experience the epic journey of God of War and God of War II in 720p HD form. Both titles have been remastered with anti-aliased graphics, running at 60 frames per second for a smooth gameplay experience, only on the PS3 system. Additionally, the Blu-ray Disc compilation will bring the PlayStation Network (PSN) trophy support to the franchise for the v..."
"A couple times over the past few years, we've decided to sit down and take a good, cold, hard look at the PlayStation 2's library and select the best of the best to let you know what our favorites were (and are). Even though the system is fighting with every last breath to stay alive, it's still surprising to us that new games continue to creep into our list. So, because it's been a while, we figured it was time to look at our picks again and update our choices for the best 25 PlayStation 2 g..."
"Today, my husband and I were talking about names for our expectant child. I told him since I named our daughter he could name our son. He's decided on a name from 'God of War'. My son is going to be named after a make-believe cartoon character - Kratos. FML"
Director of the God of War movie Brett Ratner has moved on from the project to direct yet another starring Chris Tucker, this time alongside Eddie Murphy (Rattner is behind the Rush Hour movies), sources say.
"The recent barrage of media scarps released for Sonys uber title is filled with potential and why should it not since it stands as a creation of Santa Monica Studios who are famous for crafting out really good looking and playing games.Here are a couple of screens that showcase the fantastic evolution of the series"
Oh my dear lord. MSNBC has managed to make the ultimate laughable list by the games they have picked as having the most cinematic video games. Actually, most of the list isn't too bad, but when you get to number one, prepare to have milk spill out of your nose (and I hope you were drinking milk, otherwise see a doctor immediately!) I don't want to ruin the surprise, so just look at the list.
Yet more bonuses are up for grabs if you pre-order the upcoming PS3 hit LittleBigPlanet at GameStop. As well as the already seen Kratos Sackboy skin two other skins, the 'Minotaur' and 'Medusa' skins as well as a new map pack are avaliable. View the ad below or at the source.
"Sony Computer Entertainment America and high-profile game designer David Jaffe have been sued in U.S. District Court in California for alleged copyright infringment involving the best-selling God of War series, GamePolitics has learned.
The suit was filed in late February by Jonathan Bissoon-Dath and Jennifer Barrette-Herzog, both of Davis, California. SCEA and Jaffe filed responses with the Court on August 29th.
In the complaint, Bissoon-Dath identifies himself as "the author of a seri..."
GameInformer, the popular magazine about all things gaming that has somewhere near three million subscribers, always has a different game on the cover each time. MTV wanted to see if there was a GI cover curse, so they looked back into the past and pulled out magazines from 2-3 years ago.
One game titled Superman Returns didn't so well, receiving 6/10's. That's nothing compared to Fear and Respect, which was at one point on a GI cover, but ended up being canceled!
All in all, the game...
"A brief trailer toward the end of Sony's news conference at E3 today gave a glimpse of God of War III, just announced for the PS3. The trailer was all pre-rendered, featuring Kratos atop the rubble of a ruined city, bellowing "In the end, there will be only chaos!"
Of course, more on this as it moves. Just wanted to get word out that yes, God of War III is in the pipeline."
Darth Vader may not be the only PS3 exclusive character to make his way into SCIV, according to the rumor mill of Eletronic Gaming Monthly Kratos will be a combatant in the highly touted fighting game exclusive to the PS3 version of course. When questioned Namco Bandai said they could neither confirm nor deny this which adds a bit more strength to its reliability. Maybe the 360 will get Master Chief?
"Sony Computer Entertainment disclosed, throughout the Interactive event and Digital Entertainment Festival that is to elapse in Paris, that God Of War III goes to be presented in the E3.
The company did not want to give many details, but probably, no longer next month to July, we will go to know the first details and to see the first trailer of so waited game."

"D: any intrest of making a game on the wii? hahaha
YES! Even though I was less than impressed with my Wii, as well as a lot fo the games I have played, I would love to make a game on this system. I think there is a lot to be done with it. Plus...its like a BILLION times cheaper to make a Wii game versus a 360 or PS3 game...which is good. Making a 40 or 50 million dollar game is cool, I love making big games dont get me wrong, but you have soooo many more masters with their hands in the cre..."
"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?"
Kotaku.com recently held a "Reader's Choice Awards" in which regulars of the site could vote for their favorite game of 2007 from each console.
And while not everyone was happy with how the awards were conducted, the results were still tallied and winners were still announced.
Read below to find out who won. You might be pleasantly surprised (but then again, if you've been keeping track of the popular games of 2007, you probably won't be).
"Before getting into Maxims top-ten selection, it is worth bearing in mind that its expertise and coverage in the world of gaming is marginal when compared to the print space it reserves for scantily clad female celebrities. Indeed, while you probably wouldnt rely on FHM for movie reviews over the likes of Empire or Premiere, you shouldnt place too much stock in Maxim when it comes to gaming especially if its sitting next to Edge Magazine on the shelf."

I bet you came running after seeing the articles title didn't you? Well sorry to sadden you with the news that the game will be released in 2009. Such a long time away. TheGameReviews Got a confirmation after speaking with a Dev at the Video Game awards and they also learned that the game will be running at 1080p and will support SIXAXIS and Rumble.
Sony Computer Entertainment has now officially confirmed the long anticipated sequel God of War III for the Playstation 3. This doesn't really come as a surprise as many knew there will be a third, but it was a matter of when it will be announced and today just happens to be the day.
The confirmation came from a Sony spokesperson where he stated that Cory Barlong, game director of God of War II is leaving SCEA, Santa Monica studio. Then continues saying that how the God of War group is ve...
From the outset, this past week's Media Create numbers indicate a strong sales week, but the numbers quickly drop, with a substantial decrease from #1 to #3. Also, seven out of the top ten are new releases.
Topping this week's list is Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift for the Nintendo DS, selling 142k copies of the game in its first week. Coming second is the sequel to a Gust RPG, Ar tonelico 2: Sekai ni Hibiku Shoujotachi no Metafalica for the PS2, coming in at 72k units. ...
I'm assuming the latest EGM is going to be rolling out soon, and thus, we get some more Quartermann rumors, and these are pretty good. They've been on a roll recently.
The rumors start off with what we would expect: God of War 3 and Gears of War 2.
However, the zinger is that there's the possibility of a Skies of Arcadia 2.
Good God, I hope that comes true.
This week. we covered a gamut of topics. We first talked a bit about our Wii Giveaway. Then we got into the banhammer that was dropped on Halo 3 Epsilon players and the 24 hour ban dropped on Call of Duty 4 beta fans. We talked about the free games that just came out from Ubisoft and EA, which we hope is a trend in the right direction for older games. We also hit on the Bioshock multiplayer issue and digital distribution being the savior of PC Gaming.
This is so insane, that you can't even imagine it. Morpheon Mods have created a custom PSP that has been airbrushed metallic bronze and then it was tarnished to give it a worn and old sort of look. There are hand-sculpted symbols that have been copper-leafed onto the PSP and there are even real chains that edge the system. Even the buttons were removed to be replaced with copper ones.
Even crazier is that the shoulder buttons have been removed and then crystal red buttons are added with s...
"After the news made the rounds today, David Jaffe responded in a posting on the NeoGAF forums: "I can promise you guys I am still part of SCEA...I just got a paycheck from them! I am still 100% a Sony employee and unless I got fired today and they didn't tell me, I'm still working for them. Also, I love working with the guys at Incog and hope to work with them for a long, long time but I sure as s**t ain't moving to Utah...nice as it is, I don't think I could live there long term and I don't ..."
"Guests at the event were even invited to reach inside the goats still-warm carcass to eat offal from its stomach.
Sickening images of the party have appeared in the companys official PlayStation magazine but after being contacted by The Mail on Sunday, Sony issued an apology for the gruesome stunt and promised to recall the entire print run.
Critics condemned the entertainment giant, which produces scores of Hollywood blockbusters each year, for its "blood lust" and said the grote..."
At the beginning of March, fans of God of War II were intrigued as a mysterious website known as IslandofRhodes.org appeared shortly after the game was released in stores. The site had a picture of Kratos and a countdown, which many players took to be an announcement of the series on the PSP or even the third title in the series. Earlier today, the website was finally revealed to the world, finally putting an end to the rumors. Or did it? While a number of God of War II secrets were disclosed...
A quick look at the differences between the two versions. It might just be me, but I don't see much of a difference between the two.
"GT shows us how to unlock the hidden HD mode in God of War II, a game in which they rated a 9.5/10. Video after the jump.
Press and hold L1, L2, L3, Square and Circle as you boot up the game to play the hidden HD mode that includes sharper graphics"
