The God of War team is talking about DLC right now, or at least the possibility of it – but don’t expect to be seeing it next week, Spartans.

Remember last week when AOL Radio gave you a taste of the metaltastic God of War III inspired tracks that are included with the game’s premium edition?

Well, today, Sony has announced the release of the Blood & Metal EP and to kick things off, the US PS Blog has posted the video to Trivium’s “Shattering The Skies Above”.

Those who thought that God of War III would not contain another sex mini-game have probably never played a title starring Kratos in their life.

That’s okay though – the ESRB has a lovely description of the latest one for you, and all the sexy details are posted below the break.

Thank Hades that didn’t happen.

Sony has confirmed that the God of War 3 demo included with the Blu-ray release of District 9 is for US only.

“That’s for the US only,” a Sony spokesperson told StrategyInformer. “We’ll announce our plans for the [UK] GOW 3 demo in due course.”

Looks like you’ll have to wait a bit longer, UK. Hopefully not much longer, but still, waiting is a bit crap.

The God of War Collection for PS3 has gone gold, folks, and to celebrate – Sony has listed all the Trophies you can acquire in the games.

This extensive list is a bit big to be posted here, so head on over to the US PS Blog to check it out.

If you have never played a God of War game – shame on you if that’s the case – the list may contain spoilers so be forewarned.

Game’s out November 17 in the US and early 2010 in the UK.

Those looking forward to God of War III can get a bit of a fix while they wait, thanks to another fankit landing on the official site.

In it you will find a cyclops render, artwork, a series of high-res screens, etc.

One can never get enough Kratos, in our opinion at least.

Get yours here.

Game’s out in March 2010.

We knew about the novels, and the comics, but it looks like you can soon own your very own God of War inspired cutlery.

Hitting in October, United Cutlery’s Blades of Chaos will create a scaled replica of Kratos Blades of Chaos. The weapon will be a total of 20-13/16 inches long and have a 12 7/16-inch blade constructed from solid-cast zinc aluminum with a custom-etched mold texture, and unique fantasy grindings that mirror the piece used in the game.

The handle grip is injection-molded and surrounded by an intricate, detailed cast-metal guard and pommel and includes a custom display stand with the God of War logo.

Can’t wait to cut some prime rib with that.

Looks as though an entertainment reporter got some hands on time with the God of War movie script, and after reading it came to the conclusion that it’s like “Clash of the Titans on steroids and methamphetamines”.

Oh yeah, and the ending differs from the game.

Apparently, instead of taking over as “god of war” after killing Ares, instead Kratos throws himself from a cliff and just before he goes “splat” he says: “Your turn, Hades…” and the film cuts to black.

While it does indeed differ greatly, at least it sets itself up for the sequel where he, well, must escape Hades and exact revenge.

According to the original report from CC2K, the ending could change because the film has not started production yet.

Via: Cinemablend.

Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny for PSP will have a special guest by the name of Kratos.

The God of War himself will be slicing others to death in it, like he always does.

It’s out later this summer, and there’s a video of it after the break.

God of War III’s Stig Asmussen has told CVG that he hopes EA’s upcoming actioner Dante’s Inferno gives God of War III a bit of competition.

“Some of the guys who used to work on GOW are working on Dante’s,” he said. “Really good guys. I hope they make a fantastic game that serves as good competition for us. I think using Dante’s Inferno as a theme could really cook into something special – it is a very rich world to draw from.

“As far as a threat to Kratos goes, I hope so. We need more great games in this genre.”

Other than a few trailers and screens, he had not seen much of the game, but is aware that preliminary thoughts on the title are positive.

Read on through the link to find out more on Kratos’ latest adventure, and why Asmussen called Devil May Cry 4 “Game Developers May Cry”.

Good stuff.

Rumor says that Ready at Dawn will be bringing everyone’s favorite Spartan back to PSP.

Supposedly, the God of War: Chains of Olympus developer is hard at work on another installment in the series.

RaD co-founder, Didier Malenfant, responded to these chatter with: “You know that even if we were [making the game], I couldn’t answer your question.”

An unnamed Joystiq informant also mentioned that the game may be revealed in some form at E3 in June.

Fingers crossed.

Last fall, Brett Ratner said he would be bringing God of War’s Kratos to the big screen.

Looks like his plans have been shelved.

Instead, he’s to join forces once again with Chris Tucker in a swindle comedy called Trump Heist. Eddie Murphy’s in it, apparently.

God of War fans across the globe are now breathing a collective sigh of relief.
