When it was announced that Sony's flagship bloodbath series God of War was coming to the PSP there were plenty of raised eyebrows here in the office, and around the globe. How in Zeus' name were they going to get the stunning, epically conveyed bloody tales of Kratos, Greek mythology's doomed, dual-blade wielding anti-hero, onto the PSP?
Of course the game was in solid hands with the dev team at Ready At Dawn so hopes were high. The shots rolled in, 'Oohs' and 'Ahhs' echoed around the office and eventually Sony stopped by one afternoon with a playable level that had us chomping at the bit for this prequel to the original PS2 games. Now I haven't been able to scrape my jaw off the floor since that little UMD, with all its amount of wonder, was put into the palm of my hand.
