Ready At Dawn Is Serious About Dropping The PSP

12:00PM Michael McWhertor | Daxter and God of War: Chains of Olympus developer Ready At Dawn was dead serious when it said it was moving on from PSP development. Proof is in the form of the boxing up and shipping out of dozens of PSP development kits and the continued teasing of what’s in store after the Japanese release of the PSP version of God of War. With three solid games under its belt, we’re appropriately psyched about where the dev is going next. Ready At Dawn News More »

Zero Punctuation: Chains of Olympus

5:00AM Brian Crecente | What starts out as a pretty slow, actually not so funny take on God of War Chains of Olympus, turns to typical gold after Yahtzee seems to find his stride and knocks it out of the park again and again… as usual. The Escapist More »

What’s In The God of War: Chains of Olympus Box?

2:00PM Logan Booker | This black box arrived from Sony by courier today. The company adores pretty press packs. Adores them to death, the afterlife and the afterlife-death.

5:00AM Brian Crecente | God of War: Chains of Olympus is a stunning and portable prequel to the much touted God of War franchise. Taking place ten years before the original God of War, Kratos is delivered to gamers in a title that can be played on the go. While the story-driven gameplay and over-the-top action of previous God of War games made them nearly instant classics, developers Ready at Dawn had to try and encapsulate all of that screen-filling glory on a 4-inch LCD without losing any of the pizazz.

Download the God of War: Chains of Olympus Demo

8:00AM Brian Crecente | I’ve been playing (replaying parts) of God of War: Chains of Olympus on the Playstation Portable for a week or so now and so far it strikes me as one of the best games to hit the system to date. I’m about five hours in, nearing the end of the game, I believe, and there’s really not much to complain about. Sure, it’s God of War on a PSP, but what more would you expect? Yes, a review is coming Monday. If you didn’t get the free Demo on UMD when it came out, you can still grab it directly over on the Playstation Store. I point this out because the downloadable demo isn’t exactly easy to find and some of you may not have realised it’s out there. God of War: Chains of Olympus Demo [PS Story, thanks Brad] More »
