Next month's issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly has an exclusive preview of God of War: Chains of Olympus. As is customary on the internet, someone has nabbed an issue early and scanned it for the entire world to see. German site consolewars.de has some juicy images from the game that has our hearts palpitating. Are these graphics really possible on PSP? If so, our wait for the demo disc becomes even more painful.
EGM 216 goes on sale May 8th. Expect a lot more coverage in the coming weeks.

oh man, i was JUST about to mention 300. :)
although my problem with 300 is the horrible combat system. and we know GOW series pride itself with its combat system.
still, saying GoW is like 300 is like saying Crisis Core is like Valhalla Knights. ;)

I scrolled through the pictures. Is this game a prequel of GoW1?
because on the background, it looks like the battle of TROY, where a thousands ships emerge on the horizon.
wait, it IS like 300. ;)
can't wait for my Demo.
PS. I love how European website can break ANY news without any restriction. lol.

@KofW...
Yes...it is a pre story to GOW1.
From Wiki (come contribute...I started this article!)...
The Island of Rhodes website revealed that God of War: Chains of Olympus is a prequel to the God of War series. It chronicles the various adventures of Kratos throughout the ten years he spent in servitude of the Gods (hence the game's name which implies a bond between the series' protagonist and the deities of Olympus) preceding the events of God of War.

@other Colin
do you have a link to the article? *yeah, I know i'm too lazy. lol, but it'd also be good for other posters*
If this game can keep up the framerate and still maintain the graphic we see here as well as the combat system, it will be as big as Portable Ops. (if not as big and as anticipated as Crisis Core)
i'm very excited for my Demo.

He got the blades of chaos from Aries, before the events of God of War 1.
