BBFC rates Resistance 3, God of War Collection Vol. II
Sony hasn’t said much regarding its God of War: Origins collection since E3, but today the BBFC has listed the collection, which includes Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, and a God of War documentary. Called the God of War Collection Volume II, which is likely its European title. It is, of course, rated 18 and was classified as of this morning. It’s set for a September release.
The body has also apparently handed Resistance 3 an 18 rating, as if you were expecting 12 or something. Resistance 3 is also out in September for PS3.

BBFC outs Sonic Collection, may release for PS3 or DS
The British Board of Film Classification has outed a Sonic Collection for possibly Blu-ray or DS.
Called the Sonic Classic Collection, it contains the original title, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, and Sonic & Knuckles and its subsequent “collaborations” with Sonic 2 and 3.
Also contained within it is a Sonic image gallery and a “History of Sonic” video, and a trailer for Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.
While the listing is leading some to believe it is for DS, others cite a leaked SEGA document which mentioned a “Best of Sonic” Blu-ray for PS3 containing “all of the old Sonic games” for around $100.
We’ll mail SEGA for comment.
Thanks, Kombo.
