One of Sony’s most popular series, the God of War games have sold millions of copies and moved almost as many consoles – for the Playstation 2, yet come March 16th 2010 Kratos will bring his brand of bloody violence to the PS3 for the first time.

God Of War 3, developed by SCEA, has been on many PS3 owner’s “Must Play Lists” since the console first came out, and until now all most gamers had were screenshots and videos. Then late last year Sony gave the masses a revamped and HD-ified version of God of War 1 and 2 in the God of War Collection for the PS3, that also let players get their first taste of the third game through a nice demo.

God of War 3 will be rated “M for Mature” – sure to feature violence, blood, decapitations, amputations and ample nudity. The game will be available as a standalone title for $59.99 or also in a “Pandora’s Box” Collectors Edition for $99.99.
