Whatever Latino Kratos says, Latino Kratos means well. Milestone Interactive just so happens to be offering a kinky pre-order deal for those who have been looking for an excuse to pick up a PSP Slim & Lite (or two, if your name is Scrooge McDuck). Not only will you be cashing on what’s already the best playing PSP action game to come out in like forever, but in addition to that - you’ll also be chain-combo-ing yourself a Kratos action figure as well. Just what the mad doctor prescribed!
Thanks to Sameer for the enlightening news.
With more and more confusion reigning supreme on the home console front, I still think the PSP is one of the best purchasing decisions I’ve ever made in my life. A face that got reinforced ten times over, thanks to Ready At Dawn’s spellbinding God of War: Chains of Olympus demo.
Reggie’s already got the dirt on the dirt on the demo, and since I really can’t add much more to it without sounding like a hyperventilating, pheromone oozing teenage girl on her first date, I’ll just shut up and post screenshots we’ve managed to lift straight off the game. Feel free to kill yourself after seeing the framegrabs and wishing you hadn’t blown a staggering twenty thousand bucks on a lousy 21″ HDTV instead of spending it on a PSP. Or a DS. Or two thousand donuts. Or twenty high quality blowjobs… Hit the jump to take a look at what could very well be the killer app for Sony’s handheld platform, especially if this too happens to have a mini sex game.
Yeah, the killer app for the PSP looks good. I’ve played the demo and I’m a believer. After impressing me so massively with Daxter, Ready At Dawn studios have done it yet again!
GoW on the PSP looks like everything you’d expect it to be! Beautiful and alive backgrounds, hordes of enemies coming at you wave after wave, the frenzied slash-and-maim action that we love so much, gruesome and bloody deaths and Kratos’ STFU-or-I’ll-shove-this-blade-down-your-throat-and-rip-out-your-intestines attitude.
After all the hints, and all the random hunting for letters with the monitor brightness maxed out, the sliding puzzles and hunting on Google trying to understand Roman numbers, the mystery is finally out. And guess what, it’s exactly what we (and a thousand other sites) have been predicting - that God of War: Chains of Olympus is indeed the PSP version of the game. In development by Sony Computer Entertainment and Santa Monica based Ready at Dawn, who gave us the most excellent Daxter last year, Chains of Olympus seems to tell the story of what happened with Kratos in between the events of God of War and it’s newest sequel.
As if a new trailer and the news wasn’t enough, Sony now has a teaser website up here, and while the site bears a “Coming Soon” tag for the most part, there is an option to sign up for a free Chains of Olympus: Special Edition demo UMD, at least until supplies last. So if you know anyone in the United States/Canada who can get the UMD and ship it over to you pronto, just head on over to the site (PlayStation Underground ID required) and register for your free copy. We’re just going to go and start painting half our body and face red, getting a tonsure, a goatee, a (fake) scar and polishing our (foam) Blades of Athena.
