I thought the first PSP God of War was great but at the same time it was almost sad to see all this great visual tech and cinematic flair forced on to a small screen. God of War is a game best enjoyed large and loud.
 
Also the PSP is almost 6 years old now. That's crazy talk? That's not crazy talk that's real! This is the weirdest handheld generation.

It certainly looks better than what I remember of CoO, but I've pretty much had my fill of GoW at this point.

what, you mean the same year Valkryia Chronicles 2, Phantasy Star Portable 2, Persona 3 Portable, Kingdom Hearts: BBS on the psp and God of War 3 already was released on the ps3? 
 I'm waiting for the day when psp owners start bitching about stuff thats usually only on the psp coming out only on the ps3, cause this psp envy is getting really old.

I enjoy how a new mechanic in a God of War game is effectively just a new killing move for your guy. Couldn't it have just been DLC for the previous game?

The commentary in this 10 minute quick-look was fuckingfantastic. 
 
Also, can we force Ready at Dawn to make all of the PSP games from here on out. They clearly know how to utilize the platform to its fullest. After seeing the presentation quality in this game, there is no excuse for a poor looking PSP game anymore.

Is it me, or is "Scylla" really reminiscent of the Cloverfield monster?  Has the little chittering underlings it sends out and everything.

Stop with the GoW games now, please. The changes between them are minimal at best. I'm tired of seeing the same light combo attack in every one of the games.

Scylla....like from the Odyssey? Have we really even ever seen Scylla? My only reference points are the movie where he was just in the dark and had tentacles that grabbed the men but tentacles spouting from his chest? I'm getting real confused now since now I think Scylla was the bird monster from the Odyssey. I don't even know anymore.

Ooooooh I love so much these God of War Games!! The depth, the soul the devs put into it, the amazing story full of plot twists i never see em comming... the characters.. so many memorable characters.... deep, layered characters.... Its just so awesome. And just when they said it was over... hah! New game!! Portable!!! Now I can enjoy Kratos doing the very same thing he did since PS2 again. Again!!!

Might be the last PSP game I get before I sell it off.  I can't figure out why, though, if this is set after the first game, why the now-God of War Kratos is running around a ship fighting monsters?  I know it's a demo but I'm really curious about the explanation for that.
 
Funny QL, though.

Sure it looks great, but honestly, I've become bored with God of War. The attitude, the gameplay, the art direction - all of it has been more or less the same for half a decade now. Many series can be accused of that, but God of War especially doesn't hold up well, IMO.

I wonder why Jeff sounds so tired of GOW (maybe it's because they are all freakin' the same and after GOW3 a normal person just had enough?)
