God of War: Ghost of Sparta will ship right about the time you start thinking about all the games you wanted for Christmas that were delayed into Q1 2011. Earlier this afternoon, SCEA confirmed on the official PS blog that the PSP brawler, which is being developed by God of War veterans Ready at Dawn, will hit stores on November 2, 2010. It'll be a good stocking stuffer, wouldn't you say?
Of course, there will be pre-order bonuses. There are always pre-order bonuses. If you decide to slide some cash to Amazon.com, Best Buy, or GameStop in advance of the release date, you'll get access to a bundle that includes an official soundtrack, a downloadable PSP and PS3 theme, a PSN Avatar, a special "Legionnaire" in-game skin, and a game director's documentary which includes commentary from notable directors David Jaffe and Stig Asmussen, as well as others.
And, hey, wouldn't you know it?. There'll be a PSP bundle as well. Dubbed the God of War: Ghost of Sparta Entertainment Pack, the $200 bundle will include a black and red PSP-3000, a UMD version of Ghost of Sparta, a download voucher for God of War: Chains of Olympus, a 2GB Memory Stuck Pro Duo, and a copy of a UMD version of Kick Ass (the movie).
This looks appealing. I'm just not sure if want it on the PSP though. I remember I tried playing CoO on my psp, and it crashed. Left a bad taste in my mouth.
I tend to dislike the God of War series, but Chains of Olympus wasn't bad. Presumably this'll be even better, and a good way to keep my PSP love alive.
Damn that's a nice bundle. I kind of wish my PSP would break just so I would want to order it. Man, this truly is the year of the PSP, despite the obscurity of most of the games I'm playing such as P3P and Valkyria 2.
