Finally, here we have the two PSP spin-off titles from the God of War Saga for all to enjoy on the PlayStation 3, re-mastered in HD and with trophy support. For those wanting to experience the latest in visuals, both games are now in stereoscopic 3D.
The series began on the PS2 and ended in a very satisfying grand finale on the PS3. Due to early success, developers knew that fans were still left wanting more from the vengeful Spartan. Especially, when it came to understanding the Greek world where Kratos found himself in the main trilogy. Unfortunately, for the majority of gamers these side stories were created exclusively for Sony's PSP.
But now all can finally understand the story surrounding Kratos, the Titans and Gods. So what can fans/newcomers expect from these two side instalments developed by Ready at Dawn Studios. Well, Santa Monica Studios - developers of the main trilogy created some of the best games in history and I am happy to report that these two games deserve to be part of that God of War saga. Although both were PSP titles initially, the re-mastering process has made a world of difference to the look and feel of both games, the result being that both look and play great on the PS3.
The first of the two games is Chains of Olympus, which is set before the events of the original God of War. Kratos is asked by the Gods to find the sun god Helios and ends up clashing with the goddess Persephone, who has hatched a plot (with the help of the god Morpheus and titan Atlas) to destroy Mount Olympus.
The second game is Ghost of Sparta, which is set after the first God of War. Kratos sets out to find and free his brother Deimos, who was taken and imprisoned by the God of Death.
The God of War HD Collection Volume 2 is a must buy for all God of War fans. It is also a must buy for anyone who has a PS3, because in terms of story, gameplay etc. These two games can still compete against many new games of this generation. Even if you own the original PSP titles, it is still worth playing these great games again in HD.
