Kratos invades Hot Shots Golf: What? Yes! photo

The Ghost of Sparta is about to become the Golfer of Sparta, and if you thought that was the worst wordplay you've ever read, we're just getting warmed up, arsehole. Sony has revealed that Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds will be getting a rather unique new player this Thursday when the God of War himself takes a club in hand.

Of all the crossovers I've seen, this is definitely one of the more inspired. Kratos looks rather brilliant alongside the rest of the big-eyed competitors and the promise of voice acting from T.C. Carson himself should serve to bring some extra funny to the proceedings. The PlayStation Blog has more shots of Kratos in action, and I seriously suggest you check them out. 

Kudos to the genius that came up with this one.

This just moved from my "Sports Game: Ignore" drawer into my "Holy Shit: Must Buy" file.

My god. I might have to buy this just to hear Kratos growl out words of golfing joy.

I just want to hear T. C. Carson yell "MULLIGAN!!!" in the Kratos voice.

That kind of ridiculous presumption about me got old in 2007 and it betrays the ignorance of all who perpetuate it.

HAHAHAHA WAT

You know, Ratchet and Jak KIND of made sense because they visually fit in with the chibi characters of the series, but KRATOS? I love how he's basically become a dwarf. What will he swing with, the CLUBS OF CHAOS?

Geez, Kratos is going the way of Solid Snake.
A real bad-ass being whored out by their eccentric creators.

It IS a cheap cash-in and he DOES look retardedly out of place, but I don't know. I guess I'm just a sucker for adding stupid shit into video games.

I hope to god that Kratos continues on from his achievements in Chains of Olympus.
And by achievements, I mean beating the brains out of everything. Brutally.
