God of Wardrobe [Update]

God of Wardrobe [Update] photo

A few months ago, Sony gave PlayStation Underground members the opportunity to design alternate costumes for Kratos; the winning costume would appear as an unlockable outfit in the upcoming God of War II.

According to an e-mail I received, "the resulting entries really impressed the dev (sic) team" and Sony is giving other PlayStation Underground members the opportunity to not only see the top entries, but to vote on them as well.

Some of the results are hilarious, ranging from deadly serious submissions by talented artists to sketches thrown together by people who are clearly too young to be playing the "M" rated God of War (one looks like it had actually been colored using crayon).

The best, by far, is Cod of War. Submitted on graph paper and presumably  penciled by a six year old, this is the costume that must appear in the sequel to one of my favorite video games ever. I'm going to buy the game regardless, but if I can select this outfit, I might be tempted to pick up two (or three) copies of the game.

So if you're a PlayStation Underground member, do your part. Vote Cod of War in 2007.

[Update: I went ahead and added some images of the other costume entries to this post for those folks not "cool" enough to be part of the PlayStation Underground (it's free to sign up, by the way). For those of you who asked, here's the link to the contest if you'd like to vote and didn't receive the e-mail.]

Greg -- I'm pretty sure the link will only work for PlayStation Underground members. In that case, they should have gotten the e-mail.

Cod of War is awesome. If Sony has any sense of humor, they'll make that an unlockable costume.

The fish hooks sealed the deal for me.

There's no way that'll win. I doubt Playstation Underground members will go for something like this. Sad.

Membership is free, I think, so you guys could join if you felt like voting.

I signed up for it, but I still don't know where to vote.

How is Kratos supposed to move around in that costume? I'm sorry, but I demand more realism from my action games featuring an immortal Spartan warrior killing minotaurs.

I still say the fish suit is the best, but the grim reaper one is kick ass.

would it be so hard to add in like 5 extra costumes? then everyone is a winner, and it gives good replay value.

PS remember the cow costume in the first God of War, so they have a sense of humor.
