More Rumours for God of War 4

A recent post on Siliconera adds further fuel to the fire that God of War 4 is on the way. This most recent development comes from Timothy Williams having the game listed on his resume, the title is displayed as “upcoming” so we know this isn’t in reference to any of the PSP titles that came out. Timothy has worked on several films, such as Conan The Barbarian and many of Zack Snyder’s productions, like 300, SuckerPunchand Watchmen, as well as video games in the past. The score for the God of War series has always been a crucial part of the series. So in light of this being true, this aspect of God of War 4 is in experienced hands.

Couple this with the news that surfaced not long after God of War 3’s release regarding new positions being available on the God of War team and it’s looking pretty likely that we will see another game in that series, beyond the obvious logic of it being a huge franchise for Sony. The story of Kratos is a very detailed one to say the least, and there’s really only one timeframe left to fill in, so it will be interesting to see how this develops whenever we finally see God of War 4. Who knows, maybe it will be on the Playstation 4, or to get even crazier, the Vita! 

First Run Copies of Twisted Metal to Include Copy of PSN Twisted Metal: Black

Following in the steps of games like Assassin’s Creed: Revelations (on the PS3), it looks like those who were looking to pick up the new Twisted Metal game that releases on February 14^th, 2012 may be getting a little extra bang for their buck.  To preface this though, the Twisted Metal franchise creator, David Jaffe, released the cover art for the vehicular combat game over the weekend, and I have to say that it does look like a pretty good piece of cover art.  If ever there were a “mascot” for the franchise, it would have to be Sweet Tooth (the clown that has fire coming out of his head), and he is looking particularly demonic in this iteration of the game.

Joe’s Top Ten Games of 2011

It’s almost the end of the year, and that means it’s time for the all important “Game of the Year” lists to be unleashed upon the world!

And every time, your worries are always proven unjust.. 2011 has been one of the greatest so far this generation and this list took a lot of time to finalize. So with that in mind, how about we get to the interesting part and run down some games?

Activision Going Ahead with Lawsuit Against EA

Remember back in 2010 when all that crazy business between the former heads of Infinity Ward, Activision and EA was going on? Well, it hasn’t stopped and probably won’t for a while still.

In Los Angeles, the California Superior Court has just ruled that Activision can now go ahead with its lawsuit against EA in regards to the departure of former Infinity Ward leaders Jason West and Vince Zampella. A motion filed by the former heads and EA was ruled against by Judge Elihu Berle, which allows the jury trial involving all three parties to go ahead in May next year. Activision maintains its claims that “EA interfered with its employment contract with West and Zampella and aided and abetted the pair in what the company says is the breach of [their] fiduciary duties”.
