Hasn’t poor Kratos suffered enough? Got himself manipulated by Ares, lost his wife and daughter, not to mention his mighty God status in Olympus and all his powers!? And now he has to put up with people like this guy, who we’re sure will get ripped limb from limb in the goriest fashion possible if Kratos were around.

And poor Avinash Bali of Tech2 Gaming now has to add another horrible entry in his ever-growing list of nightmares. Attending the PlayStation Experience in Mumbai, he had to witness what could very well be the worst possible Kratos cosplay gone horribly wrong. I’m not going to rant on about how this is wrong on so many levels, but instead, I’m planning to sue Avinash for all the years of therapy I’m gonna have to undergo because of his picture. And Sony India, for ruining every bit of appeal God of War held for me by hiring this guy! Honestly, I can’t play another God of War game anymore! I tried looking away from the picture, but it’s got the same effect on me as roadkill and it is only sheer cowardice that prevents me from gouging my own eyes out right now.

This picture has been sitting on my desktop for over a sodding week now, with me just waiting for our Episode Two review to go up, just so I could post this chilling awesome cosplay shot. I don’t really need to say anything beyond what you can already see for yourselves, and I am sure fans of our favorite mute theoretical physicist are just waiting, straining at the leash, to rip that poor guy to shreds with harsh criticisms. But Alyx! Sure, she doesn’t really look a lot like our favorite companion on our bleak trek  through the Half-Life universe, but as hardcore gamers who hardly have time to fondle our own girlfriends, we usually take whatever we get. Now if only someone gave that guy a crowbar. And a hard chin. And a thicker goatee. And more hair. And, oh, a life! Or they can avoid all this nastiness and just give me the HEV suit. And that girl.

Thankfully, humor still has a tendency to spread to those even remotely disturbed by video gaming mockery. Just look at the guys who made this Amaterasu (from Okami, silly!) get-up for their precious pup! Extra props for not even bothering to cleanup afterwards, god just look at that mess.
