Sony beats Microsoft to GoW II
Just a word of caution on the intense use of acronyms. They can be quite handy to use in order to communicate an information that would other wise be pretty long. Finally some good news for the Sony camp as they will soon release a sequel to their Greatest Hits God of War. Back in 2005 I had no idea that despite the arrival of all three next generation game consoles a PS2 title would still make the masses go crazy. I discovered the series last year and became an instant fan, the game play experience is simply formidable and all the friends I showed it to where amazed by it. You can read my first impressions on it in a previous post. If you are a Xbox fan when you read GoW you saw Gears of Wars, yeah that looks like a pretty good game from Epic, but I’ll wait for Unreal Tournament III to get a real taste of the action. So until that release of the day those games come to PC. I’ll look to God of War II to get off some steam once in a while. It’s release date is around the end of Febuary or middle of March, official scheduel says March but according to the editors’ blog he’s completed his work.
Previews tell that this sequel takes off right were the first installment left us. Kratos returns to complete his vengeance and still tries to struggle with his past. He is betrayed and left in some extreme situations that you have to play through and survive, slashing enemies! GoW II will come in a 2-disc set loaded with bonus features, that add-on was really appreciated on the first one and this one is a guaranteed Greatest Hits before the end of 2007. This is one exemple why the PS2 is still the platform that sells the most unit, even with the Wii, Xbox 360 and Sony’s own PS3 in the mix. It’s extra cheap and the games are still coming! You can look forward more information about God of War II when I get my hands on it.
