Game Circle

A preview made by Matt Leone, at 1up.com, discusses new improvements to the new installment in the GoW series. New features include, running on walls, grabbing enemies and slam them, riding Cyclops and Harpies and new weapons!

Also big battles where as much as 50 enemies can come at you at once. Here are some excerpts from the preview:

This is about as specific as Asmussen will get about the game's story: "There is going to be a truth revealed at the end of this game that I believe is going to be profound and relevant for everybody who plays the game, and it will give you the true meaning of 'And in the end, there will only be chaos.'"

And regarding the finality of the series,

Not that there was really much doubt, but for those concerned that recent press release statements indicated that God of War 3 would be the final game in the series -- rather than the end of this initial three-part story -- Asmussen says, "I don't know about the future of God of War," leaving the door wide open for the series to continue in different ways down the line.

Because of how much the visuals have improved since the PS2 games, the developers are planning to skip CG cut-scenes and use their in-game character models and environments for all story sequences this time around.

Recently, talks with Tomb Raider publisher, Eidos, began to surface on the web. The identity of the proposing side wasn't revealed, that is until now. It's none other than RPG giant, Square Enix!

After failing to merge with Dynasty Warriors's publisher, Koe, Square Enix seems to not falter one bit in their quest to appeal to Western gamers! Eidos laid off alot of their employees after Tomb Raider: Underworld failed to reached its quota. Eidos seems to be positive about the merger, though.

We'll just have to wait and see about this! I didn't really expect this to happen! It seems to me that the two companies work in different areas in the gaming industry, I don't know how this will work out :S

I'm happy to say that I made a new blog! Well, it's actually old, but I renovated it a little ^_^. I hope you all can continue to read ;)
