"Ahhh, system exclusives…that one thing that leaves us wondering if we need just one console in our house. Let’s face it, there are some games you can’t play without an Xbox 360, just like there are some games you need a PlayStation 3 to really get into. Over the next couple of days, you’ll see a pair of specials that discuss the ten most wanted exclusives from each side. For today, we’ll knock out the ten PlayStation 3 exclusives that Xbox 360 owners want for their system."

"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."

"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..."

Countless naysayers often crusade against video games, riduculing both the medium and the people who play games. What these individuals don't understand is that video games often breed creativity, require problem-solving skills, and encourage gamers to think outside the box.

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.
Gamestop is running a terrific national campaign. If you buy a refurbished PS3, you get God Of War III Free. Definitely a good incentive to get a PS3.
"Everyone loves finding something in a game before anyone else, particularly if it’s a delicious secret and they’ve beaten everyone to the punch – that’s the cool thing about stumbling on an Easter Egg way before any other gamer has and why the internet is full of spoilers showing them all off. Just check Google or Youtube and you’ll be virtually bombarded with the exploits of people who found something before anyone else – on top of it, they won’t ever let you forget it. Ever.

"Let's get this out of the way right now: The only reason I don't have more game consoles hooked to my TV is because I'm out of ports on the back for cables to plug into, and I don't want to have to get off the sofa to switch over. I've been playing video games since the Carter administration. So do not compare me to Roger "I never play video games yet dismiss them as worthless" Ebert here. Just... don't. I would have taken my SNES as my date to senior prom if they had let me.
But the thing..."

"As I write this I have just finished a day powering through SCE Santa Monica’s stunning hack and slash game God of War III.
God of War is a series that has become infamous for containing two of the three majors which get an M rating slapped on the box as fast as a Hermes sprint, these being sex/nudity as well as gut-spilling gore.
Language in video games is not quite as much of a taboo as it once was, in fact most games in the UK pass on a few uses of minor bad language without even recei..."
"Violence and gore within games has always been a bit of a taboo subject. From concerned parents to naïve news reporters, violence in games has always been frowned upon. We all know however that the truth about gaming is that it is an escape and a way to have fun. Violence in games is not distasteful (in most cases) but it actually sometimes enhances the gaming experience"
"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..."

During their latest fiscal report, Nintendo revealed, via the NPD, the top 30 best-selling games so far this year as of the end of March. As expected, games from Nintendo systems dominated the list.
"This is action gaming at its finest, and is absolutely one of the top reasons to own a PS3. God of War 3 is a AAA title that will not disappoint, and at a recently reduced price point of $49.99, there’s no reason to not own a copy."
"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..."
"“God of War 3” is competent, but it will leave many players unhappy. The hackneyed ending will disappoint fans invested in Kratos’ story, and the developers’ slavish devotion to stale game mechanics won’t appeal to new players experienced in similar games that have more depth."

Late last year some were saying that 2010 could be the biggest in gaming history and it certainly is shaping up that way. So, John from All Age Gaming sat down and compiled a list of the Top 10 games in the first half of 2010 (1st January to 30 June 2010). If the second half of 2010 is going to be better, then we are in for one hell of a treat!
2010 is shaping up to be one of the most jam-packed years in the gaming industry with many excellent games already released in the first-quarter alone. Here are ten can't miss games so far this year.
So first there was God of War, then there was God of War II, now there is.... yep, God of War III. Ben Leslie lets us know his views of the latest release in the series.

"Quarter 1 ends now as Quarter 2 looms over the horizon and it’s safe to say that this has been the best Quarter 1 in recent memory. Never before have so many great games been packed into the very beginning of the year. Usually we have to wait till Quarter 4 before we get the big-budget titles. March, like January and February before it was stuffed full of wonderful games for gamers of all."
"Love it or loathe it, violence has been a staple part of the video game formula for some time now. Technical and graphical advancements have only made the depiction of violence easier to manufacture, with some games now displaying the brutality in such vivid and sadistic fashion that it almost makes you feel queasy.
With the recent release of Sony's God Of War 3, it seems like now is as good a time as any to examine some of the more gruesome deaths in our beloved medium.
So here's Digit..."
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.
This past March was packed with many new blockbuster releases as well as lesser known but equally as great titles. So which games stood out the most for the month?
"The game starts out with the camera panning across the City of Olympia, then up towards Mount Olympus where a number of mammoth sized titans are climbing. Zeus, whose kingdom is being rattled by the titan offensive, rounds up the other gods of Olympus – Poseidon, Hades, Hermes and Helios – in a bid to fight off the ascending threat..."
"This week sees a fair bit of a shake-up in the UK's retail charts, with Just Cause 2 sitting pretty atop the all format charts, provided by ChartTrack. Having seen God of War III rise to the top spot and knocking Final Fantasy XIII from it's perch last week, it comes of little shock to see Square Enix taking the gold once again with their latest release. However, there are a few greater surprises further down that list."
"I like a good story. Something with characters I can relate to, genuine people with their own hopes, dreams and fear.
Something with a plot that twists and turns, surprising at every turn but always making sense. Something personal, as if it was constructed only for me and my unique journey through the game.
Something I will never see.
It's a simple fact: the perfect narrative does not exist.
I can't be anymore blunt than that. Try as I might, I have yet to find a game that can conn..."

"No game is perfect, but Sony did come pretty close with God of War III. The only real complaint in the whole affair is that of the slow and dragged out pacing throughout the middle of the game. The puzzles can be a little boring at times, but beyond that the amazing visuals and great story all combine for an excellent gaming experience."
A glitch found in God of War III lets you acquire the “Maxed Out!” trophy without meeting the requirements of upgrading all your weapons in the story mode.
"As amazing as it may seem given Sony Computer Entertainment’s track record with the PlayStation franchise, the PlayStation 3 has undoubtedly been the outside bet for the current-generation since it’s launch back in March 2007. Arriving late in Europe, with successful Japanese and North American launches already under its belt, an incredibly high price-tag and it’s underdog status has seen the PlayStation 3 achieving slow but consistent growth across the continent in the ensuing three years."
The top five upcoming Playstation 3 exclusive titles (that has been officially announced) to look forward to once you are done playing God of War III.

"Greek mythology became uber cool the day that Kratos first hit our PS2 screens back in 2005. In 2007, the God of War sequel managed to blow our minds once again and feed our interest in his world and mythology. Now after three long years of waiting and twiddling our thumbs in anticipation, the time for chaos to be unleashed has come, but will the former God of War rise to the challenge or will he become a forgotten hero. Prepare your weapons and strap on your man skirt, we’re about to find out."

"One of the most popular gaming series of the last decade has been Sony’s God of War franchise. With its epic gameplay and amazing presentation, the God of War series is one of the few AAA franchises out there.
God of War wouldn’t necessarily be where it’s at without the work of T.C. Carson, the man responsible for voicing Kratos’ rage. Kratos has almost become a new mascot for the PlayStation brand and besides the character’s unique design, many know him for his deep rage filled voice. O..."
All Age Gaming's Phong Nguyen bring's us the 33rd AAG "The Week That Was". This week he discusses the Playstation "Move", a possible slim 360, the 360's external hard drive support, PS3 shortages due to the release of God Of War 3 and more.
"It should be obvious at this that point that even though I praise the glorious console known as the Xbox 360, I like many people out there still own a PS3 as well and from time to time dust it off and boot her up. So it should be no surprise that I played through God of War III earlier this week and have a few things to say about it. GoW3 had a lot to live up to, the first two iterations in the series pushed the PS2 hardware to new heights with each release and GoW3 does the same, at least vi..."

So what is Morishita up to now?

"Sony has had problems keeping a steady supply of Playstation 3 consoles in stores to meet demand since Christmas. The introduction of the PS3 Slim along with a price drop last year increased demand for the console but resulted in store shelves being cleared out for the holidays. Sony has been working with retailers but admits that supply will "be tight for a bit longer." Now Sony may be in the precarious spot of having a system seller game but little in the way of systems to sell."
The for God of War III is officially over and Sony celebrates with a launch trailer to show off the games epic story and epic battles. At this point, I don't know how anyone can be on the fence. There's been so much hype and everything around this game you're either getting it or you aren't.

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.
"God of War III thankfully doesn’t shy away from the spectacle of its’ predecessors. In the opening sequence our anti-hero is riding atop a huge titan once again engaging in battle with gods. Stepping back into the shoes of the Ghost of Sparta is as comfortably gruesome as ever. The control system remains largely the same as ever and the abilities and weaponry Kratos will discover on his journey will be instantly familiar to fans of the series, while newcomers should have no problem adapting t..."
In a recent interview for UGDB the Game Director of God of War III Stig Asmussen said: "I don't know is we are even close to 50% of PlayStation 3's power at this point."
In another question related to what parts of the game were ripped off and are not in the final version, Stig is talking for the first time ever for character named Exion, Cyclops as nearly big as titans, and one huge titan encounter that can come in the form of DLC. Stig is also talking for his dream project, who might play ...

"GameZone.com writes: "It’s not a stretch to consider God of War 3 to be one of the biggest titles of the year. The first foray for Kratos on the PS3 not only brings the badass anti-hero to a new system, but also caps off his journey as the final entry to the God of War trilogy. God of War 3 expands on its predecessors in every way, offering more brutal combat and breathtaking vistas and environments than ever before.
We were given the chance to talk to Lead Environmental Artist, Chris Sutt..."
"Sony released another in its line of humorous "It only does everything" commercials featuring VP of Everything, Kevin Butler. Can sweet Sadie win back her beau from the evil clutches of Kratos? Probably not because it has him enthralled along with every other red-blooded American PS3 owning male including Mr. Butler. Or, at least it soon will when it is released on March 16."

If you're like me, you couldn't care less about God of War III, at least, until you read Neoseeker contributor Heath Flor's review. Heath's a smart guy, you see, and has a way with words (and ladies), so he makes a pretty convincing case here.
Anyhow, head to the source to read the full bit, where he praises it as near perfect and living up to the hype.
"We shared with you earlier today our full God of War III review, and we now have the latest batch of God of War III screens directly from Sony. Showcasing some of the environments, gods, Titans, and lots more, the new screens will give a general idea of what the game contains in terms of scale and visual amazement."
"The God of War series first saw release on the PS2 back in March 2005 and it took gamers by surprise. Featuring sharp visuals and violent gameplay, Santa Monica Studios was able to evolve the traditional logic of what an intense action/adventure game was thanks to the introduction of Quick-Time Events and over-the-top killing sequences, God of War was quickly beloved by gamers of all kinds and the series never looked back from that point on. It’s now time for the final chapter of Kratos and h..."

"Apparently the SCEA dev team thought so, and the tone is set immediately in God of War III, the culmination of the trilogy of games based off a son of Zeus that is challenged by the Olympian gods, then used and abused, but left alive and rather rabid for revenge. GoW III is cringe-worthy, and i..."

We're excited to work on large projects but it's not a decision that's made flippantly and we're going to take our time with it. The only game I had the chance to play through the past few years was Dead Space; there are other games that have released that I want to hav..."
God of War 3 is now in the hands of some media outlets. With review set to go live next week, Sony sent out retail builds to media outlets to let them enjoy the carnage of Kratos over the weekend and prepare for some intense review coverage.
Without much fanfare, or big announcements God of War: Blood & Metal Soundtrack, which is bundled as part of God of War III: Ultimate Edition have been released for purchase as a stand-alone item on iTunes and Amazon at the beginning of March. This might be a good alternative for people who don't want to pony up $100+ for God of War III: Ultimate Edition.
"I think it would be interesting for us to explore some kind of cooperative or online play. I have a 14-year-old son, and we love playing games together, so it would be fun to do this. He’s had the benefit of watching some of the segments of God of War 3 with me; obviously the sex mini-game is off limits, and some of the more violent scenes. But it’s fun to play games together and I wouldn’t mind seeing that. I’m not confining our team and saying “Hey, you have to do this.”"
"To everyone’s surprise March 2010 is a month full of epic video game releases, because in the past the first quarter of the year is pretty slow in the industry. This is the result of many things the most important being the fact that money is tight after the jam-packed Holiday gaming season. 2010 is a year for change as there are plenty of high-quality games coming out in the first four months of the year, for that reason we decided to list out the top 5 video game releases of March 2010 – th..."

To celebrate the release of God of War III, 7-Eleven decided to introduce a new "Wrath of Kratos" slurpee hoping it would be a fan favorite. With some effort, The Kartel was able to find out just how disgusting they were and most importantly uncover the flavor that knocked Kratos out of the races.
Tim Moss of Sony Computer Entertainment Santa Monica reveals several impressive coding details from the upcoming Playstation 3 exclusive title, God of War III.
"God of War III is the highly-anticipated closing chapter in the widely respected God of War series, and the debut release on the PlayStation 3 system. Set for release on March 19th 2010, God of War III sees our brutal protagonist once again on a quest for revenge. Continuing directly from the final moments of God of War II, Kratos is ascending Mt. Olympus in pursuit of Olympus himself, and his journey won’t be an easy one."

"Yes you did read the title of this article properly. God of War III, the game that some are calling the PS3 system seller will not have any loading screens, as well as having no install upon booting up the game. Confirming on twitter, Christer Ericson, the Director of Technology at Sony Santa Monica Studio, said the following;
And since people asked: #GoW3 has seamless loading. No install, followed by 10+ hours of play uninterrupted by load screens!"
"Tim Moss, Director of Technology at Sony Santa Monica, has revealed the monstrous amount of space that God of War III is set to take up on Blu-Ray.
In a tweet this morning, Moss states “#GOW3 35Gb of goodness. Thank heavens for Dual Layer Blu-Rays”."
"God of War III is a single-player Action/Adventure game set in the realm of brutal Greek mythology. Players take on the role of a savage ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos, as he scales through the intimidating heights of Mt. Olympus and the dark depths of Hell to seek revenge on those who have betrayed him. Armed with his infamous double-chained Blades of Chaos, and an array of new weapons and magic for this iteration of the trilogy, Kratos must take on mythology’s darkest creatures while solving in..."
Scans of the French PlayStation 3 Magazine's review of God of War III have surfaced on the internet, and PS3M has given it a perfect score. Check out the scans, but you will need to be able to read French to understand it.
2010 has been great for Playstation 3 gamers so far with games like Heavy Rain and MAG. It is about to get even better this spring, especially when it comes to exclusive titles slated to come out for the system.
""We've been intrigued about Dante's Inferno. This is my favourite genre, and the more people that are making [these games] the better," Asmussen told the UK Official PlayStation magazine.
"And this is a really rich story they're building on, it's very interesting. The day that the demo came out we were trying to download it on PSN at midnight. We all wanted to see it," he added."
Two of the biggest games to be released in March have both gone gold! Both games are now in manufacturing and ready to hit store shelves. God Of War 3 will be released on March 16 and Bad Company 2 will be released on March 2nd.
"When Electronic Arts announced their plans to produce a video game based on the literary classic Dante's Inferno, gamers were outraged by more than just the title's uncanny resemblance to the God of War franchise. Question the literacy of those who indulge in our hobby all you want, but the generally negative reactions that greeted the interactive adaptation of Dante Alighieri's epic poem speak well for our kind's classical training. To the credit of these dissenters, Visceral Games really d..."
The Japanese box art for God of War III revealed that the Playstation 3 exclusive game has received a CERO Z rating, which is the highest possible rating in Japan.
"Kratos is now part of the muscle that is PlayStation, but the main God of War character wasn't always the broad and brutal figure that we all know today.
"I think it took us a year and a half to come up with Kratos" said series art director Ken Feldman in the latest issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine. "That was the most difficult thing"
He then revealed the character that was first thought of for the role: "Everything has to be based around this character - the story, the weap..."
God of War 3 is coming and we'll soon have enough footage to satisfy your every need. Coming next week, we'll have some all-new God of War 3 gameplay footage to watch.
"GTTV just finished airing the new God of War 3 trailer and it showed off graphics that are unrivaled, currently. The scale of the game is massive and the type of battles the game will feature will be second to none.
"

How faithful are mythology-based games? Dante's Inferno has raided a few eyebrows over its rather loose interpretation of the work it's based on, but there are many other games that have taken inspiration from mythology and religion too. Gamesradar takes a look at a handful of recent games and how faithful they are to the religion and mythology they are based off...

"With texture resolutions said to be quadrupling since God of War II on PlayStation 2, God of War III will feature fluid, life-like characters, as well as dynamic lighting effects, a robust weapon system, and world-changing scenarios that will truly bring unmistakable realism to Kratos' fateful quest. The epic scale of God of War III reaches heights unseen in the franchise - not only must Kratos ascend the summit of Mount Olympus to reach his revenge, but he must do it while navigating on the ..."
""God of War III," the latest installment in one of Sony PlayStation's premier franchises, is gearing up for battle, and it's enlisted as allies 7-Eleven and Mtn Dew.

"There have been a lot of people asking about when God of War III is going to hit store shelves. Well, today I have some good news to share for those of you eagerly awaiting this highly anticipated PS3 exclusive. Kratos fans can get their hands on God of War III beginning Tuesday, March 16!

I’m also thrilled to unveil the officia..."
"If the latest interview is anything to go by, it looks like Kratos will spending a lonely night in God of War 3. In a recent interview with Spanish gaming magazine Hobby Consolas, God of War III Stig Asmussen makes mention that the development team didn't want to tack on the patented sex mini-games that were featured in the previous two titles."
Amazon has discounted some of the biggest upcoming games for the Playstation 3. Notable titles include Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Final Fantasy XIII, God of War III, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, MAG and more.
"Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has revealed the launch date for the forthcoming highly-anticipated releases of both God of War III and the God of War III: Ultimate Trilogy Edition in Europe."
"Everyone has been waiting for the newest footage of God of War III to be shown in trailer form. Sony hasn't released an official God of War III trailer in months, and fans are now beginning to get a tad-bit antsy. After some sites mentioned a January 18 release date for the new footage, everyone got excited about that the idea. Sony quickly denied that and confirmed no footage would be shown that week, except from new screens and hands-on write-ups.
Since no trailer was shown when many tho..."
""Ever since the dawn of man people have figured out that if you make something successful, and then make some similar to that first thing that it will also make millions of dollars. This is the basic premise behind all movie and video game franchises, and it has been happening since the beginning of both forms of entertainment. Sometimes it works great (Star Wars IV-VI) and sometimes it's a complete disaster (Star Wars I-III); because of this fact we decided to go back and pick what we believ..."
"The image depicted in the final box art will be familiar to some, though it had not been officially announced as the final cover. Sites including Amazon and Gamestop have recently updated the product information with this newest edition, with little difference from its previous place-holder."
"As of this writing, we’re already three weeks into 2010. The “new” year is already practically ancient, and pretty soon we’ll have run out of time to make wild, erratic, entirely factual predictions about things that will happen over the next 11 months. So with January nearly over, we’re going for the jugular and answering the question that’s on everyone’s mind: between the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and PC, which gaming platform will claim victory by the end of this year.
Experts antici..."
"All major retailers are now putting up the official God of War 3 box art on their sites. Amazon and GameStop have updated their listings with the latest box art, and it's mostly identical to the previous placeholder before it. Rated 'M' for Mature, God of War 3 will likely contain extreme violence, blood, gore, and strong sexual content."
"We have compiled several screens showing the difference between the character models, colors, and lighting of the game from the original screens, E3 2009 screens, and now the final build. The character model of Kratos looks amazing in all the screens, but he looks must grittier in the latest build. The lighting looks to have improved slightly, but it was amazing to begin with. The final build is much darker, features better lighting, a much larger scale, and it's amazing how far the game has ..."
"ony's released seven brand new God of War III screenshots. Here they are.
The big three-quel's due to receive a £110 'Ultimate Trilogy Edition' in Europe, which includes the God of War Collection already out Stateside, downloadable character skins, an art book and a big old chest."

"God of War III, the third part in the highly popular action series, has been cleared for release in Australia. Initially, there were fears that the violent game would be banned in Australia. Nonetheless, the game received the rating of MA15+ from the Classification Board, which allows it to be widely released."
God of War has always been famous for having some epic boss fights, I mean who doesn't want to fight a god? Well some new screenshots show a sneak peak at the lord of the underworld, plus many more creatures. Check them out below.
"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..."
The Playstation 3 has gotten some excellent exclusive games over the past two years. 2010 is shaping up to be yet another great year for PS3-only titles.
"The world will soon end in chaos and along with the world, the God of War series will also end with it. Several scans of God of War III screens leaked onto the internet late last night, which held an interview and some new information regarding the series. Based on the translation of the interview, the most interesting piece of information comes from the confirmation that God of War III will be end of the series."
"January is the month that will bring to us a new footage for the upcoming PS3 exclusive God of War 3. The embargo for the new footage will be lifted on January 18th. In the meantime, take a look at these new amazing scans for the game showing a new Poseidon boss plus new enemies and locations."

"Something out of the ordinary is happening in 2010 – for the first time in some years publishers are taking a chance and packing quarter one with tons of high-profile video game releases. For RPG fans there is Final Fantasy XIII and Mass Effect 2, action gamers get Darksiders and Army of Two: The 40th Day, and adventure fans get their choice between Bayonetta and Dante’s Inferno (PS3 owners also can throw down in God of War III). These are only a few of the big budget titles that will be rele..."
"Arriving in Europe as the God of War III: Ultimate Trilogy Edition, known as the God of War Collection in North America, the retail package will include two Blu-ray discs containing the three bloodline releases in the series. Further to this, a number of special additions to the package have been revealed."
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.
"The PlayStation Show Staff writes: The PlayStation Show is back with all the PlayStation information that you crave. Netflix has bee released on the PS3, listen to see if we like it or not.

Listen to find out how you can win a demo code for the UK God of War III demo. Thanks for downloading and listening, enjoy!"
"Gamers love their weapons. No matter if the game is a shooter, an RPG, or even a racing game for every player (and every character) there’s a favorite weapon. From shotguns and chainsaws to turtle shells and Light Sabers, the weapons we use in games have become almost as iconic as the games themselves. Let us take a look at some of the best and baddest weapons around in this top ten round up."
Eurogamer recently held their public gaming expo which featured quite a few high profile games that many have been looking forward to. Video reviewer Diifii went to the event and got some hands on time with some high profile games along with chatting with some devs from games like Aliens vs. Predator.

"or those of you who haven’t had the chance to play the God of War III demo which was on the show floor at E3, Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show and other SCEE events throughout 2009… well… some GREAT news for you: we will be emailing out some demo voucher codes to a selected number of PAL PSN users who registered to receive the SCEE promotional newsletter. If you haven’t opted-in to receive it, it’s unfortunately too late to be in with a chance to be picked for this promotion, but it’s worth you regi..."
Go to the source for a bunch of artwork of creepy enemies and levels. It even has a Thundercats rip off! Will all these enemies make it into the game? One can only hope.
"A a Facebook friend of PlayStation LifeStyle, Serhat O., sent us a photo of what appears to be God of War III on their PlayStation 3. The official demo release is weeks away at the earliest which raises some eyebrows of how this demo got into this lucky persons hands, but the proof is in the picture."
"God of War III is one of the most anticipated PS3 exclusive's ever released, and the majority of games being released in this generation feature some type of multiplayer whether it's competitive or cooperative. Now God of War III, will not have multiplayer as it was revealed in an interview with GamePro that it wouldn't "fit";"
GamePro talks with God Of War 3's game director Stig Asmussen. They discuss many things such as developing for the ps3, to the amount of gore that can be found in the game. They also discuss mutliplayer and possible chances for DLC. How do you give a game like God Of War DLC? You add challenge rooms, much like what was found on the PS2. But don't take this as an official confirmation, its just ideas floating around Santa Monica.
"With most of the Playstation 3's consumer base now ogling the near releases of Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Insomniac's Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time, it is easy to forget what the guys at Sony have lined up for us in 2010. God of War III, the third and final part in Kratos' epic tale is due for release in March 2010, but since E3 2009 and previous gaming events, the God of War has fallen silent under the sudden Autumn rush of video games."
"Sony just announced that all buyers of the God of War: Collection this fall will also receive a downloadable voucher for the E3 demo of God of War III. This is exciting news and it’ll surely prompt PS3 owners to go out and buy the new collection."
"Throughout the course of this past weekend, September 17th – 20th, the Paris Game Festival took place over on the continent, showcasing some of the best games of this year and the hopefuls for 2010.

The upcoming muchly anticipated PS3 beat ‘em up God of War 3 will arrive in stores early next year. The game has some of the biggest hype ever seen for a videogame and speculation still hasn't ended about whether it will be the game that can truly define the PS3 brand and the game that will help the PS3 to decrease the sold consoles gap between itself and Xbox360. But why is there so much optimism?
With all the talk about the PS3 Slim and the Xbox 360's price drop, All Age Gaming takes a look at the value of money of the consoles now and whether the 360 has the quality exclusives it needs to stop potential console buyers swaying towards the PS3.
A twitter user by the name MarkPlayStation, who claims he is the head of PlayStation Mexico, recently twitted that a God of War 3 demo will be released on Blu-ray this year. He also claims that the demo will be released as a Blu-ray disc, because it will contain full versions of both God of War 1 and God of War 2.
Sony hasn't made a comment to confirm or deny this yet.
Here are some new screenshots of God of War 3. A few of the screenshots feature Kratos battling with either a boss, or just a large enemy like the centaur shown at E3.

We have all wanted them, ever since we played LittleBigPlanet we wanted out own plush Sackboy. ToyCyte tried with action figures, but they got it all wrong. Now Sony has made a deal with Impact to create plush toys, along with many other accessories of LittleBigPlanet.
Alongside that, they will also create accessories for other popular PS3 titles such as Resistance, GOW and Motorstorm.
"Developed exclusively for the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) system, God of War® III is the final installment of the multi-million unit-selling trilogy. Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment’s Santa Monica Studios, God of War III will bring epic battles to life with stunning graphics and an elaborate plot that puts Kratos at the center of carnage and destruction as he seeks revenge against the Gods who have betrayed him."
"Today, Sony formally announced a partnership with top entertainment companies to produce products based on the highly successful God of War franchise. Among the companies announced was the deal with DC Comics, for a God of War Comic Series, and with Del Ray Books’ God of War Novels. But there was one more previously unknown product outlined in today’s press release."
"And finally, for all you Gears of War and Cliff Blesinzki fans out there, CliffyB has suggested that the next Gears of War title may incorporate some RPG elements. During an interview with Develop, Blesinzki talked about games such as BioShock and Deus Ex and went on to say, “the future of shooters is RPGs”."
God of war 3 is truly a beautiful game to look at but now it seems that it's going to get another jump in graphics before release. according to a sony representative at E3 there's still more polish going on in the graphics department before release.
In a surprising announcement, G4TV announced a live 30 minute playthrough of a God of War III demo to be played tomorrow night at 6:30 ET. This is the same demo played at E3, but its a complete run-through.
"The first God of War was always one of those games I would see laying around in game stores, on eBay etc. that I would always want to play, but when push came to shove I would just overlook it. When I finally got my hands on a bargain-priced copy of the game I was kicking myself over how good it was, and why I hadn’t bothered to pick it up before. God of War is one of Sony’s masterpiece flagship titles alongside the Metal Gear series, Ratchet & Clank series, and now also the Uncharted series;..."
"Now that the dust has settled from the best E3 in years, we can take a moment to process the years’ worth of upcoming-release insanity that we took in over four days – and that means making early, snap judgments based on what we’ve seen and played. One of the biggest and best presents for PS3 fans this year was a playable demo of the long-awaited God of War III, and it was joined on the show floor by a few games that clearly took their cues from Kratos’ past exploits (or were at least similar..."
""Back in 2005 when the PS3 was originally unveiled, Sony made a bold promise that we would be seeing, at the very least, CGI-quality graphics on Sony’s new platform, yet was keen enough not to give a solid time frame. Well, they’ve fulfilled their promise a lot faster than we had originally hoped for with the impending release of God of War 3.""
I have been a huge fan of the God Of War series since I first popped in the demo disc of God Of War 1 on my PS2. After I was done, I headed down to target and the clerk was nice enough to let someone under the age of 18 buy the game.
God Of War is famous for many reason, one in particular is its pure violence. Kratos has a blood lust, and in every game it gets more and more violent. I never had a problem with it, and am in not a sick freak who gets off at that. But I do enjoy a violent ga...
TheGamerAccess.com has posted more footage of the God of War III demo. The game looks absolutely amazing and I think we all are very hyped about Kratos' next story.
"The world's ultimate computer entertainment system delivers games, Blu-ray movies, music,video, TV and Internet for the most advanced and immersive entertainment experiences out there. Challenge other gamers online; download extra levels and characters - or, in certain cases, continue your game on the go via PSP. With PS3, the game is just the start."
"Sony gave us more than five minutes of gameplay from God of War III. It was, for me, the highlight of the company's E3 presentation. So I have the video for you."
"It's the final chapter in the "God of War trilogy," showing Kratos' final revenge on Zeus and the rest of the gods and the first time we have had the chance to watch GOD of War III in action in a live demo."
This is a must download of The Bender this week. We preview EVERYTHING that will happen and E3 (and even things that might not happen). The show runs a little longer than usual and we cut the news down to a minimal as we all get excited for our trip to E3! Grab the MP3 by clicking here or load us up in iTunes by clicking here
After the March reveal of God of War 3, we've had virtually no info on the game- until now. Some of these screenshots are from the trailers, but most of them are new, and some are even in-game. Nothing much, but maybe it'll hold us till E3, eh?
"Why he's overrated: Speaking of 'roid rage, check out this loser. Marcus Fenix is the kind of muscle-bound buffoon that makes even guys like Kratos seem like introspective philosophers. His personality consists entirely of grunting, shouting, and shooting.
As much as Epic Games has tried to fool gamers by licensing tie-in novels and comic books, we all know the truth. There is no real story to be had for Marcus in Gears of War, aside from arm up, take aim and go on a bug hunt. It's all ab..."
"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"
"To help you summon the wrath of your comments, we’ve crafted together a fairly short survey to ask for your opinions on what will make the Ultimate God of War III Collector’s Edition. Don’t worry; there are no right or wrong answers to this survey. It’s easier than taking your SATs or Driver’s License Test. We just want to give our God of War fans a chance to give us their ‘Kratos’ insights. So don’t hold back. This is your opportunity to rate and compare your own ultimate collector’s wish li..."
Stig Asmussen, a dev working on GOW3 has spoken out about EA's new game Dante's Inferno. He hopes that the game is a threat to God Of War 3 because he wants to see more great games of the same genre. He also said that Ex members that worked on previous God Of War games are currently working on Dante's Inferno and he hopes they build a great from great literature.
"God of War 3 director Stig Asmussen has said that the complexity of PS3 development forced his team to "re-think things", but backs Sony's decision to go with the more complicated hardware.
Speaking about statements made by Sony boss Kaz Hirai, that insinuated Sony intentionally made PS3 hard to develop for, Asmussen said: "From my perspective he is essentially saying that Sony made the conscious decision to make the PS3 as powerful as possible, and if that meant it was going to be a beast..."
"God of War II has a hidden message that appears in the sky when you trigger a secret orb stash, echoing the words of Robert Oppenheimer, the 'father of the nuclear bomb'. When Oppenheimer saw the world's first nuclear test in 1945, he said: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds" based on verse 32 from Chapter 11 of the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Hindu script. And there it is, written slowly in the sky above Kratos – perhaps because of all the power you just absorbed. Eerie, huh? By the..."
Everytime we something of this game, it just screams "BAD ASS" and this new footage does so as well. God Of War 3 was shown off at GDC and while no one was supposed to be recording, some people just don't like rules. In this video you get to see Kratos climb a cyclops and use it as a weapon.
Update: The full video has been uploaded at shackvideo
"As Game Developer’s Week continues, we bring you the 2nd of our 5-part interview series with the people creating God of War III. Today, Art Director Ken Feldman tells us the mythology behind the story of Kratos, and where they get those gory ideas."
"Right before God of War III’s first playthrough was revealed to the media, we asked you: If you could ask the development team anything, what would it be? I then scribbled your queries onto a card and ran off to the event. We rolled camera, and since we’re now at GDC week, what better time to meet the team and get those questions answered?
So here we are, the first of five videos, beginning with a familiar face: Stig Asmussen, God of War III’s Game Director answers your questions, ranging ..."
"Sony has heralded God of War III as the epic conclusion to the story started way back in 2005 by David Jaffe's God of War. God of War III producer Steve Caterson acknowledged this, saying "Our goal is to wrap up the story we began with God of War I and continued with God of War II. We will be finishing that arc". However, this is by no means the end of the franchise."
"It shows a picture of a huge wall with harpies and blocks sticking out of it. The caption reads, "The wall of Tisiphone is a massive gate in tartarus that requires combat and puzzles gameplay to open." Sounds like we're going to Tartarus. Nice!
"70 percent of the original GoW staff is working on GoWIII." - That's good news
Quote from Stig Asmussen states, "The best way I can describe it,is that you take the battle of Normandy and combine it with the movie cloverfield, and throw Kratos tight..."
"Image Metrics, which recently provided facial animation for Sony Computer Entertainment America's God of War III videogame to be released exclusively on the PLAYSTATION3 system, is introducing new facial rigging services to the videogame and film markets."
Fumito Ueda, the creator behind Shadow Of The Colossus has been confirmed to be at GDC. But that doesn't mean we get to see Team Ico's new game, we might not even hear about it. But we still get to finally see it sometime this year, and what better time then E3. Team Ico has been confirmed to be present at the show and will show off their game.
In other news, God Of War 3 will be playable at E3 as well.
"Talking as part of Gamasutra's latest 'Analyze This' column, OTX's Nick Williams says that, according to his company's data, one third of those who plan to purchase God Of War III have yet to buy a PS3, implying a major bump for hardware sales when the game debuts.
Analysts including Williams were questioned as part of this month's column dealing with the major turmoil in the world economy, and how it might affect the game industry."
God Of War 3 is sure to set the Ps3 ablaze once it comes out. But right now, we fans are fighting for meager portions of any info. Some brand new artwork has been revealed for the game and the environments looks stunning.

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.
"God of War is a series that is still only a few years old, yet it has managed to accumulate an enormous fanbase, and has also bowled over critics. For those who know nothing of the game, its an action/adventure title set within Ancient Greece; you assume the role of Kratos, a fallen Spartan warrior seeking revenge against the Gods, whom he believes are the source of his troubles. With Ares vanquished at the end of the first game, it was only a matter of time before Kratos confronted the othe..."
"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"
"It's a bummer that Sony's only releasing this teaser for God of War 3, especially since we've seen a good 15 minutes of gameplay and it looks fan-f'ing-tastic. A lot of what we saw during the gameplay demo is actually hinted at in the trailer, so we decided to pull out a few frames to highlight some of the kick ass aspects that you can expect to see in the full game."
"Well the less said the better, after witnessing the drop dead God of War III screens, the trailer seems to make everyones mouth water with the gorgeous amount of action and visual splendor on screen. Here are a couple of things that can be analyzed from the showcased trailer."
"Sitting in the appropriately-named Clarity Theatre in a Beverly Hills office building earlier this week, listening to new God of War director Stig Asmussen explain his plan to "define this generation," I initially didn't think much of his line that lumped together the Battle of Normandy and Cloverfield, figuring it was just hyperbole built for a pull quote.
As the day went on, though, I kept thinking about that line and the concept of comparing God of War 3 to a real war. Then I saw a scene ..."
"After spending two hours learning the ins and outs about God of War 3 earlier this week, I really, really want to play it. I heard Stig Asmussen, the games director, talk about ending the trilogy with a bang, creating an adventure on the backs of titans and managing to trump the previous entries in the series, thanks to the power of the PS3 hardware and the desire to give Kratos a solid send-off. I saw the latest teaser trailer, made up of in-game asset. I watched as Stig walked us through a..."
New details for the upcoming God of War game have been leaked, one of the major ones being that the trilogy itself will not be the end of the franchise, but will contain some sort of resolution to its current storyline.

God Of War 3 is one of the most anticipated games for the Playstation 3, and we have only seen bits and pieces. Well scans from the new gameinformer have hit the internet.

"If you don’t know who Kratos is by now, you better take a look at your gaming priorities. The brutal star of the God of War series is back and on the PlayStation 3. Game Informer subscribers are in for one epic read as our favorite slayer of the gods finishes off what he started in the final installment of the trilogy. We’ve got ten pages of exclusive info, gorgeous art and eye-popping screenshots for in store for readers. But that’s not the only thing in the new issue - Resident Evil 5, GTA ..."
"We still don't have an official release date for the hotly anticipated action title, although most fans were hoping to see it some time later this year. Some recent evidence, including a sneak peek at the gameplay that SCEA will be offering to some publications in February, makes people believe in a 2009 launch. However, most realists will say the game has a Q1 2010 estimate, which we've certainly heard before. Now, we're hearing it again: according to HipHopGamer, retailer GameStop has appar..."
"This year will be a great one for video game fans, since were having an impressive bunch of very promising titles announced and, to be honest, I found it really hard to choose just 10 games since other highly promising titles like Borderlands, MAG, The Agency or Batman had to be left out. (And no, I did not forget about FFXIII which cant be included since it only comes in 2010). But enough talking! Lets check out the 10 hottest games to be released in 2009 for PS3 systems."
"Video game characters, though they might swear and be the master of unlocking locks, are usually not badass, mainly because theyre so stiff and run-of-the-mill. But then, there are exceptions, such as this list below, which is a compilation of characters so badass that they can even make YOU feel badass while playing as them, thats how cool they are. Sadly, though, Im pretty sure none of them have wallets that say bad mother*bleep*er on them. Oh, well, I never said that they were Samuel ..."
""Im most looking forward to the coming instalments of PlayStation series that havent seen a true next generation debut namely God of War and Final Fantasy. Everything Ive seen on the new Final Fantasy games has looked fantastic, and I feel faint when I think of the potential of a PS3 God of War game."
Gavin Carter, Lead Producer, Fallout 3, Bethesda Game Studios"
The anticipated gameplay included teaser trailer for God of War III has been shown via the Video Game Awards and then Youtube. The quality isn't the best the the glimpses brief, but it is something. Watch below or at the source.
David Jaffe man behind the epic series known as God of War and Twisted Metal touched on earlier about God of War 3 video he saw and was orgasming and touting it as going to be the best game ever with graphics superior to Gears 2. Well then there was an announcement of God of War 3 trailer being shown at Video Game Awards on Spike Sunday December 14,2008, but according to Jaffe on his latest blog touched on this isn't the trailer video he has seen previously. So I guess the hype of us God of W...
A man on VG Tilthas claimed to have received a good run down on God of War 3. Apparently the final build is going to run at 60fps and 1080P, multiplayer mode and co-op mode are suggested and three new gameplay mechanics which will significantly affect how the game runs will be introduced. He says that the video to be shown at VGA will be short and could only be 20-30 seconds, but will amaze you even with that.
It's not just Uncharted 2 debuting at the Spike 2008 Video Game Awards.
Add to that God of War 3, Watchmen; The End is Nigh, Brutal Legend, Mafia II, Terminator Salvation, New Gears of War 2 content, Fight Night Round 4 and 3 yet to be announced games and you've got a better picture of the event !

David Jeffe is a man I feel I could like, dignified and smart when he needs to be, but blunt as a sledgehammer when he's passionate about something. In this case the cancellation of the Philadelphian Video Game Expo in without any notice, despite him meant to be making an appearance via Skype. And God of War 3, which he says he has seen and its graphics top absolutely anything he has ever seen, even Gears of War 2, which he is a big fan of apparently.
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.
"You read the headline correctly, folks; the director of the indie-darlings Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2, and After the Sunset is officially attached to the film adaptation of videogame mega-hit, God of War. Hopefully, Ratner can convince David Jaffe, Sony hit maker and blog writing provocateur, to pen the script."
"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..."
In the past, box art was clean and simple, such as the Atari 2600's. Nowadays, we have these amazing designs for box covers, but what if the games we play today had the same covers of the Atari 2600? the-minusworld has created some, such as Halo 3 and No More Heroes.

Some interesting news for God Of War 3's script. It is apparently is 120 pages, which is quite long for a video game script. Especially when the main character isn't the biggest talker. It will also fallow different story telling table. It will go by the beginning act, middle act, and conclusion act. As apposed to the typical opening sequence, game, closing sequence story telling.
"Another year, another grueling E3 experience for all involved. As press, we have to be in constant motion, reading, writing and presenting all the information that's blasted at our eyes and ears. As readers, you're tasked with digesting an ocean of content in 72 constantly updated hours. It's a hell of a ride and we're glad to be at the end, especially given the rather dismal nature of this year's show."
