  God of War Chains of Olympus - Gold Rush!!

  + Posted by Eric Koch // Sr. Producer, God of War: Chains of Olympus

  

  Hey there lovers of mayhem, this is Eric Koch, Sr. Producer on God of War Chains of Olympus. The great news I have to share with everyone is that Kratos will be in your hands on the PSP March 4th. That’s right people, we are now officially GOLD and the game will be hitting your retailer shortly. Hope you all are ready to hand out destruction of epic proportions on your PSP!!!

  

  Bonus Entry

  Hi All - this is Asad Qizilbash, I work on the marketing for God of War. So with the game officially going GOLD, I wanted to give you guys a sneak peak at some of the advertising for this game. Below is an image of one of the ‘tease’ print ad that should be out now, and our ‘launch’ print ad coming out soon. We’re also working with Animal Logic on the God of War: Chains of Olympus TV spot. They were the CG house that provided the visual effects & art direction for the stylized look of Zack Snyder’s film ‘300′..they also produced ‘THAT’ opening 8min Spartan Vs Persian epic battle scene, so as you can image, the TV spot is going to look pretty freakin’ sweet! Look out for the TV spot around launch.

  

  That’s it from me….the game looks amazing and coming out March 4th - hope you guys enjoy it… our retail partners are taking preorders now, so get your name down.

  Father of the PlayStation Honored at D.I.C.E.

  + Posted by Abigail Murphy // Corporate Communications Specialist, SCEA

  The airplane has the Wright Brothers. The lightbulb and record player (and about a thousand other things) have Thomas Edison. So who holds a similarly lofty position, "Father of the PlayStation?" That would be Ken Kutaragi. You've probably heard his name before - Kutaragi was the man who got the PlayStation ball rolling in 1994, and presided over Sony Computer Entertainment during the release...
