    God Of War III Media Kit

    The MotorStorm: Pacific Rift press kit was our favorite until WE received the God of War III media kit. This stunning package amazed us even before opening the box and looking into it.

    The whole box is fabricated from solid wood (yes, this is real wood!) with a unique hand-painted red stripe on the front; this red painting is different on every copy. Our wooden box is 25cm long, 20cm wide and 5cm high. After removing the lid you can see a thin brochure for explaining the game’s new features along with some great artworks and screenshots.

    Under the brochure there is a containder divided into 3 parts. One holds the small-sized art cards with a God of War III logo on their back and artworks with a golden frame on the front. These cards have dimensions of 7.4cm x 11.9 cm. There is also a small metal coin in the box with Kratos’s face. In the other containers you can discover the dark game disc and light media disc. The last piece of the package is a small poster tied together with a bloddy textile.

  • God of War III Mystery Website Promises Nothing

    Attaining a platinum medal in the PlayStation 3’s God of War III rewards players with the address to mystery web page Spartans Stand Tall. What’s it mean?

    So far, we’ve got is this web address: http://www.godofwar.com/spartansstandtall/

    It takes you to a web page that features the sights and sounds of a rainstorm, along with a quarter-filled meter in the upper right hand corner.

    That is all. There’s not even a countdown clock, unless we’re supposed to be counting the number of raindrops.

    We have asked Sony for an explanation for the site, but let’s all be skeptical together about them spelling things out.

    Back in 2007, a God of War countdown website revealed two things: A high-definition graphics mode in God of War II and the name of the then-forthcoming PSP game God of War: Chains Of Olympus.

    Usually websites like this send gamers into a tizzy wondering what they could be teasing. But let’s first explore a more fundamental question: Is this even a tease?

    Update:

    The Turtlenecks – Even Gods Cry lyrics

    Looking over Mount Olympus
    Revenge is in my soul
    A mere misunderstood victim
    With no one and nowhere else to go

    Now I’m headed for the mountain peak
    Destined to stop this losing streak
    Destroying all that’s in my path
    My face is ashen, I need a bath

    They used to call me captain
    I’m no stranger to Spartan Laws
    But merely following orders
    Only added to my flaws

    Like a hobo on a holiday
    I haven’t got a home
    Like a parrot on a tricycle
    I’m feeling so alone
    I’m crying on the inside
    For that which I once had
    Folks don’t see me for who I really am
    The God of Sad

    These blades say stay away
    If you want to know what’s best
    A chip put on my shoulder
    And my anger to the test
    Cuz, I’m one vicious mama-jama
    It’s known around the hood
    I killed my very own flesh and blood
    Oh, that Ares ***** punked me good

    I’m hulking out big time
    And my rage I’ll freely vent
    To Hades with serenity
    And anger management
    Killing is no sport for me
    It’s long since lost it’s thrill
    But when I check my to-do list
    It says, pick up eggs and kill

    There’s a secret to my happiness
    Tucked inside that box
    But need I look inside myself
    To open up let my cheer unlock
    Zeus he was my father
    But no joy did that bring
    Never taught me to grow or ride a bike
    We had a cats in the cradle thing
    In my mind’s eye I laid down my sword
    I’m a killer but more than that
    I can sing of love and sunshine days
    Betcha didn’t know that I could Scat
    Dobadedaba badobadedaba badobadedada
    I had no friends alone am I
    A testament that even Gods can cry.

    You mortals no not the toll it takes
    To be the God of War
    It’s nothing your high school guidance counselor
    Would ever steer you toward
    Blood is all I’ve known in life
    My violence knows no low
    Even as I write this song
    I’m drinking wine from a human skull

    All this carnage I have wrought
    It’s no good for my image
    Sometimes I’ll just slay a goat
    Merely for a scrimmage
    You don’t want to cheese me off
    Or think you can oppose me
    I’ll rip your head off with my hands
    How’s that for a trophy?

    So I ride to face my destiny
    To claim that which is mine
    And yes I’m riding a Unicorn
    It was the only thing I could find
    I’ve lost track of why I kill
    It’s just something that I do
    I should get in touch with my inner child
    But I’d probably just kill him too

    Zeus, almighty Zeus
    I call upon you for an answer
    Why must I be forced to kill?
    I really wanted to be a dancer
    Father I beg of you
    Take me for all I’m worth
    These sex games are not who I am
    They bring merely superficial worth
    Being an angel of death is hard
    Not a life that most would pick
    Sure it gets me lots of tail
    But that gets old surprisingly quick
    Thinking maybe I’ll get a cat
    To show my softer side
    That could work but failing that
    I’ll bludgeon my P.R. guide

    Sometimes I feel that life’s a game
    And I’m a character being played
    With multiple levels, power-ups
    And unlock-able Easter Eggs
    If I should come across you
    And kill you ’til you’re dead
    Please don’t take it personally
    It’s just, there’s a circle above your head

    Oracle please show me the way
    To get where I want to go
    Spin gold from this bale of hay
    And get me my own reality show
    For me killing’s the only way
    And death my only drug
    But even a man who’s bathed in blood
    Sometimes needs love

    *Random scatting for the rest of the song*
