God of War III to get a New Multiplayer Mode
Mar 30th
A recent scan taken from the latest European Playstation Mag reveals that God of War III may get a new multiplayer mode. As reported earlier, those who were brave enough to earn the Platinum trophy received a link to a secret Website.
The secret Website shows a countdown timer and a storm brewing in the background. As the counter ticks down, the storm seems to get worse. There has been a great deal of speculation as to what will be revealed, ranging from DLC to a new game announcement.
The site’s URL reveals a hint to what it could be. Part of the URL has the words, “Spartans Stand Tall” in it. Many speculated that this could be a hint to some kind of multiplayer DLC.
The latest scan taken from the European Playstation Mag is actually quite telling. The headline seems to indicate that this will be revealed in April 2010, which does coincide with when the counter on the site will expire. The scan also reveals that the multiplayer mode will be delivered via DLC.
The pictures reveal a Mortal Kombat like versus fight screen, with health bars on both sides and a timer in the middle.
Hmmm.. gods of Olympus (X-men), titans.. Kratos.. could this be the unveiling of God of War “Kombat,” with fatalities and killer combos? I’m getting Goosebumps just thinking about it. Stay tuned for more information.

God of War III Spartans Stand Tall explained Theory #1
Mar 28th
Regarding the speculations made on the recently teased website upon getting Platinum Trophy in God of War III. A lot of people out there trying to figure it out ! I’m listing below some selected points and you can head to Official GOW Forums for more info.
Warning Spoilers follow:
On the modern monument to the battle of Thermopylae, Leonidas’s shield has a representation of Deimos.
Deimos’ voice actor is listed in the credits as “Josh Keaton” (the same man who played the Young Spartan in God of War 2 and the Boat Captain you see in both God of War 1 and 2), but Deimos never appears in God of War 3 (this leads me to believe this going to be DLC, rather than a whole new game).
To those who are unaware, Deimos is the son of Ares and Aphrodite.
By: BJtheLegend
But I’ll go one further by saying that perhaps the “Young Spartan” is Deimos!
kratos changed the fate of the Spartans when he stopped Zeus from destroying Sparta, and it’s rather odd that the Young Spartan never appears again.
Isn’t it a BIT ODD that this one spartan could put up such a fight against kratos (the battle is pretty damn hard on god mode)?
then there’s the strange voice you hear while floating in the water in kratos’ mind, as you catch a line that wasn’t said in god of war 3: “A Spartan never lets his back touch the ground. Right brother?”
And it sounds EXACTLY like Josh Keaton!

http://i43.tinypic.com/10h3fvr.png (look at the shield on the Young Spartan’s back!)
Doesn’t it look like the SAME shield that’s on the Spartans Stand Tall website!?!
By: BJtheLegend
All of that stuff sounds good,but I’m thinking that kratos (now in control of the power the box gave him) can not not be killed by stabbing him self so he pulled his own body to the ocean to try to drowned himself, when he lands in the water he starts to understand more things( like Athena said she could after becoming that ghost form) and then knows he must kill her because of the evil from the box got to her before she died and is now going to stop at nothing to kill humanity. So Athena teams up with kratos`s brother who was locked away in a chamber in Hades doman to kill everything. Now kratos must kill them both for humanity to truly be free of any gods, hopefully a titan made it so we can fight him too (or maybe three titans). Anyway maybe the only weapon that can kill Athena is also the only one that can kill kratos and kratos`s brother is the only one who knows where it is because he spent his whole life trying to find it. Ive been thinking a lot about this and im prob way off, but i really don’t want a psp game to come from the website.
Also i think the website will be done in 8 days because it only took ten days to fill half way, if it started the day the game was released.

I like all the ideas presented here really. But I just wonder if anybody noticed the spot where kratos lays atop. It has the form of a Phoenix Bird and as you may know The Phoenix Bird in Mythology represent a bird that burns itself to death and emerge from the ashes as a new reborn one.
Anybody can notice the bird clearly in the accompanied pic here: http://twitpic.com/1bixm9
And about the ending, I loved it. It works as an end actually and also it can be extended to a new game again exactly like a Phoenix bird. this is called Cliffhanger in movies and games and what awesome about the idea is that he died on an actual cliff too
Update:
just noticed another thread discussing that !! however, worth spreadingBy: Gradly
Going back to the whole thing about Deimos:
1. Since all the voices in the darkness were from Kratos’ past, if Deimos is truly the voice, then Kratos already encountered him, so, with what we have now, there’s no reason to believe that we will encounter him in future DLC.
2. The so-called “phoenix” looked more like an eagle (the bird of Zeus) to me, which is more appropriate being that it is on the top of Mount Olympus
3. The part after the credits is an ambiguous ending. We last saw Kratos with a giant hole in him, bleeding profusely, and people think that he is alive because he dragged himself off a cliff? What’s more likely is that SSM can use that to either say “Kratos is dead, we will not make a sequel” OR “Kratos was saved by *insert name/action here* and GoW 4 is in production” depending on what the future holds.
4. As for the cut ending, they seem to talk about it more along the lines of an alternate ending, rather than an extension of it

God Of War III Media Kit Out Now !!
Mar 20th

God Of War III Media Kit
The MotorStorm: Pacific Rift press kit was our favorite until WE received the God of War III media kit. This stunning package amazed us even before opening the box and looking into it.
The whole box is fabricated from solid wood (yes, this is real wood!) with a unique hand-painted red stripe on the front; this red painting is different on every copy. Our wooden box is 25cm long, 20cm wide and 5cm high. After removing the lid you can see a thin brochure for explaining the game’s new features along with some great artworks and screenshots.
Under the brochure there is a containder divided into 3 parts. One holds the small-sized art cards with a God of War III logo on their back and artworks with a golden frame on the front. These cards have dimensions of 7.4cm x 11.9 cm. There is also a small metal coin in the box with Kratos’s face. In the other containers you can discover the dark game disc and light media disc. The last piece of the package is a small poster tied together with a bloddy textile.

God of War III Mystery Website Promises Nothing
Mar 20th
Attaining a platinum medal in the PlayStation 3′s God of War III rewards players with the address to mystery web page Spartans Stand Tall. What’s it mean?
So far, we’ve got is this web address: http://www.godofwar.com/spartansstandtall/
It takes you to a web page that features the sights and sounds of a rainstorm, along with a quarter-filled meter in the upper right hand corner.
That is all. There’s not even a countdown clock, unless we’re supposed to be counting the number of raindrops.
We have asked Sony for an explanation for the site, but let’s all be skeptical together about them spelling things out.
Back in 2007, a God of War countdown website revealed two things: A high-definition graphics mode in God of War II and the name of the then-forthcoming PSP game God of War: Chains Of Olympus.
Usually websites like this send gamers into a tizzy wondering what they could be teasing. But let’s first explore a more fundamental question: Is this even a tease?

The Turtlenecks – Even Gods Cry lyrics
Looking over Mount Olympus
Revenge is in my soul
A mere misunderstood victim
With no one and nowhere else to goNow I’m headed for the mountain peak
Destined to stop this losing streak
Destroying all that’s in my path
My face is ashen, I need a bathThey used to call me captain
I’m no stranger to Spartan Laws
But merely following orders
Only added to my flawsLike a hobo on a holiday
I haven’t got a home
Like a parrot on a tricycle
I’m feeling so alone
I’m crying on the inside
For that which I once had
Folks don’t see me for who I really am
The God of SadThese blades say stay away
If you want to know what’s best
A chip put on my shoulder
And my anger to the test
Cuz, I’m one vicious mama-jama
It’s known around the hood
I killed my very own flesh and blood
Oh, that Ares ***** punked me goodI’m hulking out big time
And my rage I’ll freely vent
To Hades with serenity
And anger management
Killing is no sport for me
It’s long since lost it’s thrill
But when I check my to-do list
It says, pick up eggs and killThere’s a secret to my happiness
Tucked inside that box
But need I look inside myself
To open up let my cheer unlock
Zeus he was my father
But no joy did that bring
Never taught me to grow or ride a bike
We had a cats in the cradle thing
In my mind’s eye I laid down my sword
I’m a killer but more than that
I can sing of love and sunshine days
Betcha didn’t know that I could Scat
Dobadedaba badobadedaba badobadedada
I had no friends alone am I
A testament that even Gods can cry.You mortals no not the toll it takes
To be the God of War
It’s nothing your high school guidance counselor
Would ever steer you toward
Blood is all I’ve known in life
My violence knows no low
Even as I write this song
I’m drinking wine from a human skullAll this carnage I have wrought
It’s no good for my image
Sometimes I’ll just slay a goat
Merely for a scrimmage
You don’t want to cheese me off
Or think you can oppose me
I’ll rip your head off with my hands
How’s that for a trophy?So I ride to face my destiny
To claim that which is mine
And yes I’m riding a Unicorn
It was the only thing I could find
I’ve lost track of why I kill
It’s just something that I do
I should get in touch with my inner child
But I’d probably just kill him tooZeus, almighty Zeus
I call upon you for an answer
Why must I be forced to kill?
I really wanted to be a dancer
Father I beg of you
Take me for all I’m worth
These sex games are not who I am
They bring merely superficial worth
Being an angel of death is hard
Not a life that most would pick
Sure it gets me lots of tail
But that gets old surprisingly quick
Thinking maybe I’ll get a cat
To show my softer side
That could work but failing that
I’ll bludgeon my P.R. guideSometimes I feel that life’s a game
And I’m a character being played
With multiple levels, power-ups
And unlock-able Easter Eggs
If I should come across you
And kill you ’til you’re dead
Please don’t take it personally
It’s just, there’s a circle above your headOracle please show me the way
To get where I want to go
Spin gold from this bale of hay
And get me my own reality show
For me killing’s the only way
And death my only drug
But even a man who’s bathed in blood
Sometimes needs love*Random scatting for the rest of the song*
