Ray Harryhausen, The Artist Who Released The Kraken, Dead At 92

The man responsible for the fantastical elements and chilling creatures of film classics like Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans passed away today. With simple clay and an eye for precision, Ray Harryhausen laid the groundwork for how modern-day special effects look.


She’s Sexy. Now Kill Her?

I like God of War: Ascension. It’s a violent video game. I’ve got nothing against that. I like a lot of violent video games. I “get” where a lot of in-game violence comes from: games need to feel interactive; letting me control one character and eliminate another from the screen is still the most easily-comprehended — and enjoyed — act of video game interactivity.

God Of War Ascension: The Kotaku Review

For the first four and a half hours of the new God of War, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the game was made by malfunctioning robots. They were given the God of War formula, and with swivelling clamp-hands, they made what is technically a God of War game. Kratos is angry! Chain-blades must be swung! Beasts will be gored!

Don’t Worry, God Of War Won’t Run Out Of Deities To Beat Up Anytime Soon

God Of War: Ascension Vs The PlayStation 4

Last month, Sony started trying to convince us that we will need a PlayStation 4. The system is coming out at the end of the year. This month, the new God of War, God of War Ascension might as well be an argument that we don’t.


God Of War: Ascension’s Demo Is February 26, But There’s A Way To Get It Early

Everyone will get their hands on the demo for God of War: Ascension on February 26, but some will get access to it on February 20, provided they prevail in some kind of social media sign-up challenge that’s been going on for the past 10 days.


God Of War: Ascension Gives Kratos Even More Ways To Kill

By now, we’ve all heard how God of War: Ascension will finally allow fans to free friends of their entrails via an online multi-player mode. What we haven’t heard, however, is how Kratos will retain his reputation as gaming’s most pissed-off protagonist in the title’s single-player story mode. This was remedied at a recent Sony media event, where I learned the Ghost of Sparta’s also got some new tricks tucked into his loin cloth.

Wait, God of War: Ascension is having an open multiplayer beta? Holy smokes, no one told me until now. But it’s for real, it’s open to all PlayStation Network users (Plus and otherwise) in North and South America, and will last through tomorrow.
