Sony’s Playstation portable, it appears, is getting quite a push this year. The system hasn’t exactly proven particularly popular outside of Japan – Where it’s home to Capcom’s Nippon-frenzying Monster Hunter Portable series. That’s set to change this year, with Sony having promised a number of high-profile games – such as LittleBigPlanet, Assassin’s Creed, Motorstorm and another God of War …

Now I know that this is just a rumour, but I am really impressed by the amount of awesome sounding titles that are heading to the PSP anyway (LittleBigPlanet and Motorstorm already announced). While many believed that the PSP was dying a slow and horrible death, the line-up really makes me think that Sony aren’t quite ready to quit just …

The list of reasons for the PS3 to be a must-have console in 2009 is getting longer and longer. Kratos’s first steps into next generation gaming have been heavily anticipated for quite some time now and we finally have a solid trailer to kick things off. You will notice that the entire trailer has been made using the game’s actual …

[ Dramatic Re-enaction of the staff meeting that birthed the ideas behind Ninja Blade ] Hey, what was the name of that game that sold really well again? God of what? Oh, God of War, cool thanks. Hey what was the name of that other game that's pretty popular on that other console? Ninja Gaiden? Oh that was cool as well. Hey... I bet that if we took those two games and mashed them together that we would get, like, a ton of sales. We can call it the God of Ninja Blaiden or is that too much? Ok, let's just call it Ninja Blade then, that's catchy right? Oh man, we are gonna be rolling in it with this one. --------------------- Seriously, I took one look at this video and wondered how Ninja Gaiden and God of War actually managed to pro-create, considering that they are video games and don't even come equipped with the correct tools to do the nasty. For all I know, this game may prove to be a lot of fun but I cannot deny that it looks like a real rip-off of some good sellers. I have checked the google-machine to see if Itagaki (the creator of Ninja Gaiden that just recently left TECMO) is involved with the production but have so far come up with nothing. Thoughts Anyone?

It looks like Kratos will be making his way to the silver-screen after all. There were rumours of a God of War movie doing the rounds a while back but with no backing. Well, it is now official that the God of War movie is definitely going to be made and will be helmed by none other than Brett Ratner. With movies like X-Men 3 and Rush Hour 3, I don't know whether to be excited or just plain skeptical. You can check out the interview with Ratner by clicking the link at the bottom of the article. MovieBlog reports the following: "We caught up with him recently and confirmed either your greatest dream or biggest fear: Brett Ratner is indeed making a movie based on the video game series, God of War." Is this movie going to be any good? Who knows? What I do know is that I may just be tempted to revive my Casting Call feature one more time. What do you guys think?
