The God Of War III Ultimate Trilogy Edition comes with practically everything but the kitchen sink

News Hopefully God Of War III Boxart Isn't God Of War III Boxart
Eagle-eyed IndianVideoGamers have found what they believe to be the US boxart for God Of War III
While kinda awesome, we preferred the "other" boxart that was tentatively shown off earlier in the year, but we did assume Sony would opt for a picture of Kratos looking angry.

You were right to do so. Some new hi-res shots from Andriasang should tell you everything you need to know. A painting come to life. Indeed.
