Quantcast


In 19 days Kratos is going to kill us all! photo

Okay, that was being a little dramatic. Sorry. It’s just, I don’t know how to feel about this more than mysterious Web site that appears to be promoting some sort of God of War type game, maybe movie, er, handheld, no it has to be a new game/spin-off, um, thing. My head hurts.

The site simply features a countdown clock, a (bad ass) picture of Kratos, fire, and a field. My Lost sensibilities tell me this all means something, but my actual brain is just confused.

What is this “Island of Rhodes?” Where does that path lead? Why … oh, who am I kidding? I have no idea what this sh*t is about, but it makes me happy. And it’s cool.

Just to be safe, though, I am locking my door come early April.

Any thoughts on what this all could mean? Is it strange that I am excited about buying/downloading/watching it already?

Probably just some announcement about the PSP game.

Isn't Rhodes where you fight the Colossus in the beginning of the game? I was under the impression it was the Colossus of Rhodes.

It's most likely a site for the PSP God of War.

Or, just maybe, IT'S THE REST OF THE FUCKING ENDING TO GOD OF WAR 2!!!

Well Rhodes was the first location that you fight at...and the original concept of GoW2 was that it had you enter the city and go through the town, jumping roof tops and attacking in the streets.

I doubt it is any ACTUAL release of anything though. There is no way they would do NO PR for GoW on PSP.

I am excited though...hmmmm

lol @ Aziz

I agree with you 100%. A small amount of closure would have been nice. Though, I don't think anything could ever deter me from playing any type of God of War game. Kratos is easily one of the baddest motherfuckers ever created.

I haven't played GoW2 yet, did they pull a Halo 2 on the ending?

I highly doubt they will finish the story on the PSP. God of War is too amazing for a handheld, even if it is PSP. I would think the PSP version will explain some random shit about him but not actually end the overall game.

But as I just noticed...it has a PS2 logo on the bottom. Does that mean it's not for PSP or PS3? Probably not. But interesting nonetheless.

And the URL is Island of Rhodes, but the page title on the browser is City of Rhodes.

I'm so confused.

Well, it looks like it has nothing to do with the PSP game supposedly coming out.

IGN contacted Sony and was given the response, "The website is for true God of War fans...Think of the original God of War."

Mayeb some sort of rewards for beating the game on Titan mode? Like the phone numbers you were given in the first GoW?

whatever it is, i'd keep your hopes and expectations down. like through-the- f*ckin-floor down.

remember that worthless phone number that they gave out, after you beat the first one?

The Island of Rhodes is the island in the beginning of GOW2. The massive statue boss you fight is the Colossus of Rhodes.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a web page for the PSP game. I'll bet it'll be a side story. Maybe something to do with his brother from the unlockable movie in the first GOW. It may even take place on that island. Who knows... I guess we wait 19 days and see.
