Kratos In Mortal Kombat Stays True To God Of War Franchise, Says Director
by Ernice Gilbert on March 15th, 2011, under Hot, NetherRealm Studios, News, PS3, Santa Monica, Sony
The biggest surprise in the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot wasn’t some hidden character from the franchise, it was Kratos! Game director Stig Asmussen stopped at the US PS Blog to share his thoughts on the Ed Boon and Netherrealms latest effort, talking of how proud he was that Kratos is well represented, and while there, he answered some questions in the comments sections.
He said that Kratos’ Brutality in the game will particularly impress many, and that the Greek bad boy stands toe-to-toe in combat with any of the MK greats, including Scorpion.

Respawn Entertainment, the newly formed studio of former Infinity Ward bosses, Jason West and Vince Zampella, is hiring. The new team’s trying hard to get themselves organized, looking for talent from wherever it can be found.
They found two at Sony Santa Monica.
God Of War III Was PS3′s Best Selling Exclusive Game In 2010

More Ghost Of Sparta Incentives Announced

Numbers: God of War III Hits 3 Million Sold, Is That Enough?
It’s the best Hack-n-Slash title ever made. There are countless “counterfeits” sprouting from all corners of the industry, copy and pasting many elements of Santa Monica’s game, and like a carbon copy, duplicating said elements in theirs. Those games have gone on to sell millions, not more than God of War III, but close enough.
Here’s my question? Is selling 3 million copies of one of this generation’s most celebrated titles enough to be called a success? I’ll never understand why other games sell tens of millions while those that have defined the industry struggle to keep up.

The Four Most Awesome Games With The Worst Endings This Generation
by Ernice Gilbert on August 2nd, 2010, under Guerrilla Games, Hot, Insomniac Games, News, Playstation 3, Remedy Entertainment, Santa Monica, Xbox 360
There’s nothing worst than playing an exciting game that ends weak. I often wonder why in the world would a developer work so hard to make its title so exciting throughout most of the game and suddenly, at the end, drop the ball.
These Four Story Twists Threw Me Off Completely
by Ernice Gilbert on July 21st, 2010, under Infinity Ward, Kojima Productions, Konami, Naughty Dog, News, Other Stuff, Santa Monica
You’ve been a fan of a certain series for a very long time. You know the game, you think, better than most. In fact, you’re so well versed with the stories and plots of the franchise, that you can even tell where the developer will take the game next.
Or that’s what you thought. Because there are some titles that have drifted so far away from their original storyline that I sometimes wonder ‘what in the world were the writers thinking’. I mean, the game, in the beginning, middle, or at the end of it, suddenly throws at you a curve ball that you just never saw coming, and sometimes it doesn’t even make sense.
Here’s what we think are the biggest throw offs in gaming history. We count down from five.

Dreaming: Jack Wouldn’t Mind Having These 4 PS3 Exclusives On His 360
by Ernice Gilbert on June 28th, 2010, under Article, Games Thirst, Guerrilla Games, Santa Monica, Square-Enix, Sucker Punch
Clifford and Jack are blood brothers. Cliff loves his PS3, and the games that are on it, while Jack is an avid Xbox 360 gamer. They’re not fanboys at all, as both usually compliment the consoles and the great experiences that they provide.
Jack, however, has been dreaming long and hard about some of the PS3 exclusives. He knows without a shadow of doubt that the games he’s been dreaming of won’t come to the console he owns, but the man just can’t seem to get over the situation.
Here’s the exchange between Jack and his brother Clifford. Enjoy.
Here’s How David Jaffe Or Cory Barlog Would End God Of War III
God of War III director, Stig Asmussen had his own vision of how he wanted the last installment in the venerable series to end, and he did exactly what was necessary to see that vision come to pass. However if the former directors of the first two games, David Jaffe and Cory Barlong had their way, we would have witnessed an entirely different finish.
Here’s how God of War III would conclude if Davide Jaffe or Cory Barlog were directing it.
