The new SoulCalibur game for the Sony PlayStation Portable, SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny, will feature the God of War protagonist, Kratos, as a playable character.

The above video shows leaked footage of the much-anticipated God of War 3. It;s not just a trailer this time, though; it’s gameplay footage. Nothing spectacular, but gameplay footage nonetheless. The video shows Kratos fighting some enemies, and then fighting a bigger enemy by bashing it’s head for about thirty seconds. Supposedly the game runs at a smooth 60fps most of the time, with a minimum point of 30fps in the more hectic scenes- if you care about that. Just watch the video before the leak is snatched away from us.

A new GameStop commercial, which recently appeared on FX, has revealed some additional LittleBigPlanet pre-order specials.

In addition to the Kratos costume we reported on a two months ago, the spot unveils a new Medusa and Minotaur costume for Sackboy, as well as a God of War map pack.

Here’s another Kratos crossover for God of War fans. A few weeks ago, we found out that Kratos was being worked into LittleBigPlanet in SackBoy form, and now Sony’s Official PlayStation Blog confirms the rumors that he will be in Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds as well.

Clap Hanz, the developers of the game, worked closely with the God of War team and T.C. Carson, the voice of Kratos, to bring the mythical character to life. One of the coolest details is that his golf club, the “Club of Chaos”, is a driver attached by chain links to a grip he holds in his hands.

I’m not a really big fan of golf, video game or the real thing, but if I could swing that ball and chain club of his at a few country club boys, it might be enough to get me to have a change of heart.

You can download Kratos via the PSN this Thursday. Check out the rest of the in-game screens after the jump. Read more…

Our source in France tells us God of War 3 will be at E3

I don’t care about what they say about the French, they’re okay in my book. They break NDAs, they’re the namesake of french fries, and on top of that they got a Sony representative to confirm God of War 3’s presence at this upcoming E3! Read more…

Kratos is not a nice guy. His hobbies are killing barbarians, killing peasants, killing hydras, and killing his family. He digs tattoos, revenge, and bad girls. He’s every man’s hero. Read more…

I am clearly too much for this puny phone

Call me betrayed. I was quite impressed the last time I laid my hands on a playable version of God of War: Betrayal, but that was on a high-end phone like the Sony Ericsson Walkman, and on my RAZR it’s a completely different and rather terrible game. Read more…
