News Is That A God Of War Movie On The Horizon?
Let's be honest
Movies based on games are usually rubbish, even with the mountains of possible plot and angry characters in God Of War, we just can't imagine it being in a film. Still, CC2K reckon they've read a script for an upcoming God Of War movie penned by David Self. Apparently the script sticks very closely to the original game and as such...

News God Of War III Team Concerned About Austalian Release
Australia are pretty strict with what they will and won't release
Their ratings system does not go past "MA15+" meaning any games not suitable for 15 year olds don't get release. Ridiculous right? Exactly. God Of War III looks particularly brutal. Even we, as grown adults, cringed at some of the details present in the E3 demo. Still, we...
