God of War: Origins Collection

With God of War: Origins Collection Sony has taken the two portable games in the series (God of War: Chains of Olympus & God of War: Ghost of Sparta) and collected them on one action-packed Blu-Ray disc boosted by HD graphics and 3D support.

I feel as though the God of War: Origins Collection should be retitled God of War: Family Ties because you get to learn more about Kratos’ family and past here than in any other game from the series.

The gameplay in all God of War games is sublime, and there is no difference here. The capable folks at Ready At Dawn (they also developed the fantastic PSP game Daxter) have shown plenty of respect for Sony Santa Monica’s cash-cow. They know what they’re doing, and you’ll love it despite still completing various quick-time finishers and collecting gorgon eyes and phoenix feathers.

Chains of Olympus looks much better and is similar to the HD version of God of War II. The game was released last year and it shows just how far Ready At Dawn has come with the power of the PSP. In this case I expect you came here for the story and gameplay, not the graphics.

Developer: Ready At Dawn Studios / Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment / ESRB: Mature [Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Nudity, Sexual Content] / Played on: PlayStation 3 / Price: $39.99

Xbox Finally Joins PS3 with New 3D Update

The latest Xbox 360 update which will be available via the latest batch of games and most likely via Xbox Live in the coming days finally places the Xbox 360 on an even keel with the PS3.

The new update allows users to enabled 3D for use with 3D TV sets. The text reads "Enable 3D to use stereoscopic 3D in games and experiences that support it. The option also has a setting which will detect TV size and also allow users to input the size manually.
The PS3 has had these options for quite some time via one of its updates but is good news that the Xbox 360 finally recognizes 3D games; especially in light of the announcement of 3D support for Gears of War 3, Batman Arkham City and Halo CE: Anniversary. What's interesting is the use of the words "games and experiences", could this mean Xbox 360 will be getting 3D movies from SKY and Netflicks in the near future?
