God of War 2 Impressions Roundup

Impressions from the sequel to a tale about a very angry man. From the IGN hands-on: "Though he's riding atop a Pegasus, the combat here looks to be nearly identical to what you'll find on the ground. A few demonic creatures atop gryphons soon catch up with Kratos and begin swarming about, trying to knock him off his winged transport. Lashing out with his blades (of Chaos or Athena's, we're not sure, as Sony is a little hesitant to make perfectly clear), Kratos takes them out one by one while his mount does the flying."

One game worthy of a movie

[DrXym]

If there is one game that is worthy of a movie, it is God of War. I don't play my PS2 too much (I prefer PC games), but God of War is one of those that I go back to again and again. It's easily one of the best games for the PS2 and consoles in general. Kratos is just such a badass character that the best bits of the game could be turned into a hyper-brutal Conan-esque movie with barely any treatment at all. Unlike Doom or other game conversions, the game's plot, music and set pieces are ideally suited for the big screen.

I wonder why the sequel isn't a PS3 title. Surely it would be appearing about the same time as the new platform making it a perfect candidate.
