God of War: Ghost of Sparta due out in US on November 2nd
Remember, remember, the 2nd of November
If you own a PSP and you're not looking forward to God of War: Ghost of Sparta, then there's something morally and clinically wrong with you. Kratos's next miniature romp through ancient Greek mythology is the most anticipated PSP title of the year.
Set during Kratos's time as god of war, it fills in some of the franchise's backstory. It fills it with blood. And then it shouts.
Ghost of Sparta features meatgrinder gameplay familiar from the home console games, as well as from the previous PSP game Chains of Olympus. It sees you killing swarms of hapless goons and enormous monsters in a grief-fuelled rampage following the slaughter of Kratos's family. By Kratos.
Alas, at the moment this is a US-only release date. No details are available yet about when the game will be available in the UK, but if you're lucky enough to be able to pre-order it you can avail yourself of a pre-order bonus pack featuring the following goodies:
- Ghost of Sparta Original Soundtrack
