This time of the year is almost there, no Christmas is still months away. But it might as well be because God of War: Chains of Olympus is to be released on March 4th 2008. It’s been announced last year and the wait is finally over! The game is set as a prequel to God of War, while Kratos was first in the service of the gods.

From what I’ve gathered Morpheus, Lord of the Dreams, will have a part to play in the story line (something about the Sun falling off the sky). The plot isn’t clear but it’s not what is fun about it. It’s the game-play, the gore, the action and the thrill. The game will retail for 39.99$, but I believe it will be worth every penny. The only drawback you could consider is that this game is for the PlayStation Portable (PSP), unlike the previous games of the franchise that were on the PlaySation 2 (PS2). There has been some serious speculation that a port would come in the future. Fear not, God of War III will be released on the PlayStation 3 (PS3) sometime in 2009 you could presume.

Despite being a portable game the visuals push the PSP to it’s limits bringing the best graphics seen so far on that handheld gaming console. Mark your calendars, set yourself reminders, pre-order, buy yourself a PSP! Kratos, anti-hero of all is coming back. Who said games were for kids anyway.

Update: I’ve played the demo and I am truly amazed at how good it looks on the PSP. Readyatdawn did a great job to bring the feel of God of War to a portable game.
