Angry Kratos face confirms God of War III for March 16 photo

Sony has announced the official date for God of War III, and that date will be March 16. Clear your calendars accordingly, because it promises to be epic. 

The official box art for the game has also been revealed, and it features a big angry Kratos face. Some things to note: dude seriously takes care of his eyebrows. I mean, there's not a hair out of place. Where does he find the time to shape and tweeze while climbing on the back of Titans towards his ultimate showdown with Zeus?

This is a serious question I'm raising here, people. Discuss.

If you were hair living on Kratos, you'd do whatever the F he told you to do......

I think they got burned, and somehow, trimmed nicely, when he was sent to hell in God of War 1.

From that closeup he looks like an angry football fan.

I actually just canceled my GOW3 pre-order and switched it to Miles Edgeworth: Perfect Prosecutor. I figure GOW3 will never be hard to find but ME:PP probably will be.

Meh, I don't particularly like the box art. But I can't wait for the game!

Sony, if you want to send me the Ultimate Edition of God of War III, I would have no objections...

I think he's just so fucking awesome that he sticks his head into fire and is groomed automatically. Because he's the shit, and the fire would be afraid of HIM, not the other way around.

Don't mind me, I'm a God of War fanboy.

Obligatory 'God of War is overrated' comment.

That is all.

Nick: "Where does he find the time to shape and tweeze while climbing on the back of Titans towards his ultimate showdown with Zeus?"

Doesn't sound too difficult to me. I'm sure it's just a matter of tapping X to tweeze and Circle to shape while tilting the Sixaxis in time with the screen prompts. You know, like everything else in Kratos' universe.

Same week as Mega Man 10?

It seems like he is using make up or some kind of ancient greek mascara (Kratos = Emo ?).

That sounds more like Heavy Rain than God Of War.
If you had to pull the hairs of the Erymanthian Boar and sew it into your face with the Blades of Athena, hair-plug style, then it would be GOW.

Also, Hippolyta. Ever mentioned in GOW? I mean they got one more game to do it in.
And it would work well, seing as she was Ares' daughter.

To be honest I think the box art is terrible. I'll try to play this on my friend's PS3.

The eyebrow thing is just plain good genetics. I mean look at what the dood is capable of, he obviously comes from some pretty tight DNA.

I miss the times of awesome boxart in the vein of the first Mega Man game. That was f§$=" awesome. Now we get some pissed of Emo-Grunt closeup.

Excited but can't say I'm going to buy it. No interest in second playthroughs, the epicness shock and awe is lost for me after the first.

@Tubatic: You mean for Capcom, right?

Also, Mueller is spot on.

Also, I want this game... couldn't come any sooner.

Also, I hate the box art... a lot. It's just too much white and red. The colors are way too bright and difficult on the eyes when compared to the contrast and color choices for most (if not all) other game box arts. Also, it's very boring and uncreative.

I wanted some badass painting of Kratos ripping open a titan, in a thunder storm up Mount Olympus, with blood and sweat running down his face. What I got was 1/4 Kratos's angry face.

It's just carry-over from his god powers... Ever-Perfect Eyebrows. Not even Athena herself could take that away from him. March 16th is so far away.

I am actually really digging that box art. The God of War box arts have always been a step up above other games'.

I'm actually surprised with the some of the cover hate, I actually find it really striking. Regardless, I'm still uber excited about the game. Man though I wish there weren't so many releases I want between now and then, me gonna be too poor.

It may not be so appealing up close, but on the store shelves it will stand out like a purple Teletubbie.

Aw, no Kratos standing in front of an object that plays a large role in the actual game? That's lame.

conspiracy cats will see that cover art as a sign of the illuminati. left eye = the all seeing eye of horus. it's a stretch but i'll bet the retail value of a ps3 that the connection gets made.

Kratos keeps his eyebrows neat and manageable with the blood of his enemies.

Looking forward to this greatly, especially since the demo that came with the Collection started glitching on me after I'm almost out of the first cave -_-
I so wanted to rip off Helios' head a few more times before launch...

Also, got that as a wallpaper from PTOM. Now above my bed next to a Fate/Stay Night poster. I am indeed a classy gentleman. Rather.
