God of War 3 News & GoW3 Reviews

Cancel all your duties.

Take a sick leave.

Because… come March 16th… it will be just you and your PS3. Chaos will reign. SCEA announced that God of War 3 release date is set to 16th of March.

With God of War 3 (gow3) having a run-time between 12-20 hours depending on your personal expertise, you will need some time away from your real life and Get a Greek Life. Have you got a chance to pre-order the game? If not, here’s your chance to get God of War 3.

Its not just the graphics that separate God of War 3 from the other wannabes. There’s more… you know the story, you are familiar with the gameplay… you know that there will be unexpected twists. Here’s hoping that God of War 3 is the Game of the Year 2010. An ode to Kratos is given in the poem below:

Text format:

2010… we are ten days into Twenty-Ten
2010… the biggest year in the history of Greek mythology
2010… the year that will end the tyranny of Zeus

So, my fellow Spartans… arise…
shake off the dust clung from the battle of Rhodes
wash off the blood splattered by the death of Theseus
shrug off the loss of Caliope and her mother…
the Glory of Sparta beckons you.

We have fought many battles…
Tired, weary, bloodied we are…
Pained, cramped & numbed we are…
But defeated… we aren’t…

The Great War has started once again
This time it will be decisive
The Blade of Olympus is on our side
Be it Gods or Titans
It will be their Final fight

Reach both hands behind your neck one last time…
and unsheath the awesomeness that is the Blades of Chaos
Because… it is the End…
and in the End, there will be only Chaos.

Have a safe and happy 2010.

Finally, John Hight has some great news for God of War fans. The Director of Product Development revealed that the God of War III E3 Demo will now be included with the God of War Collection. Remember, that SCEA didn’t want to include the Demo as it wasn’t up-to-standards yet.

They seem to have done a rethink, based on the general response of fans. You can download the Demo over the PSN, however there is a catch. It will be available only for those who purchase the God of War Collection through a voucher code.

Still, its a pretty good incentive for those who were on the fence, in deciding to buy the God of War Collection. To remind you, the Collection has both God of War games at 720p and 60fps.

We had discussed in our previous post about the God of War Collection. Sony has since then announced the God of War Collection release date. It will be released on 10th November 2009 in the US.

God of War Collection release date announced!

However, it will be region free. European God of War fans can get it early, provided they can afford the International shipping costs in addition to the price of $39.99 or get it through someone going to the US.

Our previous post reported speculation brewing about GoW1 and GoW2 on PS3 Bluray disks. Sony has now confirmed that both game titles will be now available on the Playstation 3. Fans can replay both God of War 1 & 2 in the awesomeness of PS3 at a price of $39.99.

Sony had once said Backward Compatibility on PS3 will no longer be supported, so these titles seem to have been ported onto the PS3. It all started when SCEA asked fans to fill in  a survey of what they would like in the Collector’s Edition and a lot of fans wanted GoW1 & 2. Porting a game to a different console is no easy work and its commendable that they were able to do it so quickly. The games are remastered, with trophies and run at 720p

However, as speculated God of War 3 demo wont come with the God of War Collection. Product Development Director for the SCEA, John Hight said to IGN in an interview that the God of War 3 Demo will take time and didn’t want it to hinder  the release of the God of War Collection.

The other bummer is that the God of War Collection wont release in Europe this year. No further information was revealed by SCEE on the delay.
