Really not feeling GOWIII, it looks nice and all, but even GOWII didn't have that much of an impact on me *although GOW was amazing*.

Really not cool with the UK only selling GOWI and II from the collection as part of a trilogy box set also, no way im blowing over £109 for it.

Before he attacks Mount Olympus, Kratos quenches his thirst at 7-11:

^ Yup, my mom's selling them now (a little ahead, but Garb-Ko sent them out early so nobody really cares ). I get the cups free, yay for my mom owning a 7-Eleven~

The Slurpee flavor is excellent, too. Be sure to try it out!

What next? Kratos Happy Meals?

Slurpee?

Gee! Awesome! I totally want to be seen in public putting my lips on some bald beefcake's head. Thanks!

Kratos branded duracells... to power your Wii remotes and 360 controllers...

I give Sony credit on this one. It's simple and widespread, and not nearly as lame as something like Game Fuel.

You drink Slurpees without a straw?

Man... have I ever mentioned that I hate food/consumables with "LIMITED EDITION" written on them?
It's like the dumbest shit ever... unless it's the last panda in the world or something I'm being served, there's no "limited edition" about it... except from the print on it.... Such a thing as a limited edition consumable doesn't exist... unless they're taking it off the shelves 'cause of major sales failure... so technically... limited edition would mean "This product sucks and no one wants it. You sick peeps with such bad taste that you actually enjoy this junk; enjoy it while it lasts!"

To be honest, I don't drink slurpees... at all... Dispenser soda is not soda... or... wait... is slurpee one of those countless slush/shave-ice thingies?

Anyway, am I suppose to say "Kratos on a slurpee? That's cool!"

The Slurpee is the original slushie drink.

Isn't that what all companies trying to market something want you to say?

Whenever I go into 7-11 and they have a special promo with their cups or flavors, I usually spring the extra dollar or two for it. The regular thin-plastic cups are painful to hold due to the freezing coldness of the Slurpee. I have a bunch of Slurpee cups under my sink at home that I use from time to time to drink a wide variety of beverages.

When I was in high school I used to be addicted to Slurpees in the warmer months. My friends and I would go to 7-11 during our lunch period just to get them. Haven't had one in a while...but just talking about them is making me want one.


Anyway, this is getting silly. Let's get back to discussing the game itself and how they've really kept most of it under tight wraps. The last gameplay anyone has seen in a while was the pre-E3 build that they showed at E3...and they've only released screenshots from then on. I'm wondering when the big reveal is gonna be.

[Carnivol]

To be honest... I hope the gameplay is improved (not just because of Bayonetta and how everything on a vaguely similar front now feels like a step back now...) The God of War gameplay never really floated well with me to begin with... it was nice eye candy and a breath of fresh air (thanks to the eye candy), but it quickly revealed itself to be only that and not really much else... maybe I just play too many games and I rarely find the "big names" to be more than just simplifying, polishing and patching of something someone else already did before.

Isn't that what all companies trying to market something want you to say?

Cool... cold... get it?

"Leaked" back-of-the-box art shows that GoW3 has DLC in its future:

Annoyed that they announced GOW III early 2009. Looks awesome, hope it feels and the rest of the thing is awesome too. The cover can only tell so much.
