God of War PSP: Chains of Olympus
Finally the story of Kratos is coming to the PSP, courtesy of Ready At Dawn studios under SCEA’s supervision. God of War: Chains of Olympus takes off with the 10 years during which Kratos was fighting for the gods, not against them. Chains of Olympus creative director Cory Barlog says to 1UP:
“A lot of what we’re telling with the later stories is Kratos when he’s just really realized he’s a puppet of the Gods, really realizing that he’s getting screwed over, and [the PSP game will] flesh out when he did have maybe a little bit of faith and when that faith started to crumble a little bit — when he started to see some cracks in the stories they were telling him.”
Here’s a screenshot for you–the game looks darn good for a PSP game:
Apparently we can expect the same gameplay from this one as the PS2 series, with massive combos, bosses, fights, and storyline. Quote, even though it’s PSP, “we still are aiming for an epic game. It’s gonna be God of War. You’re going to get the God of War experience on the PSP.” Sweet.

Half Life 2: Orange?
That’s right. Electronic Gaming Monthly has confirmed that Valve’s upcoming PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the Half Life 2 bundle have been renamed Half Life 2: Orange! Joystiq quips: “Valve has come up with an entire world of alien life forms, postmodern physics and government conspiracies and the best title they could come up with is a color? We guess it’s better than Half-Life 2: Head Crab-tacular Edition.” HL2:O will include the original Half Life 2 game, along with Episodes One and Two, Portal, and Team Fortress.
