PSP God of War sporting gold Chains

By Tor Thorsen, GameSpotPosted Feb 12, 2008 5:45 pm PT

Kratos' first portable adventure sallies forth to the factory, due out in North America March 4.

Kratos returns!

Lately, the PlayStation Portable has been getting more attention for its multimedia capabilities such as Skype VoIP functionality than its games. That will soon change, though, as one of the platform's highest-profile games to date has gone gold.

This afternoon on the official PlayStation Blog, Ready at Dawn senior producer Eric Koch announced that development of God of War: Chains of Olympus is complete. With its gold master now en route to the factory, nothing stands in the way of the $39.99, M-for-Mature-rated game arriving in North America on Tuesday, March 4.

Chains of Olympus is the third installment in the critically lionized God of War series, which began on the PlayStation 2 in 2005 and returned to the console in 2007. However, as outlined in GameSpot's previous coverage, it is set prior to its two predecessors, and follows the unstoppable Spartan warrior Kratos' rampage after his family is killed. The series will continue with God of War III, which is currently in development for the PlayStation 3.

    Oh yea, First time Ive been so hyped up about a PSP game. Finished gow 1 and 2 on all difficulties like 20 times each. Cant wait for Ninja Gaiden DS as well, MORE BLOOD, YAY!!!! Hey Dual Mask, god of war 2 plays fine on my 60GB PS3 and since the 80GB model is BC, it will play fine. The game compatibility issues are fixed through system updates. So far, my PS3 played all the PS2 games I have (and I have many). Even without the updates, god of war 2 has always worked on the BC PS3s, I guess.

    Here we go with the 'DS IS FUN' reason again. So original sounding isn't it? PLEASE Nintendo I''m on my knees here. Make a serious game or even better make a good, mature game without the same mascots you've been churning since like you existed?

    Anyway on topic I have been a very proud PSP owner since day 1 and this will be a perfect start to the year along with the imminet release of Crisis Core overshores.
