God of War III
From God of War Wiki
"There will be only chaos." - Kratos
God of War III is a forthcoming installment in the popular God of War series. It is to be released for the PlayStation 3 video game console, with a tentative release date of March 2010. It is the fifth chapter in the series chronologically, after God of War: Chains of Olympus, God of War, God of War: Betrayal and God of War II.
Though little is known about the game at this point, it was confirmed to be in development by Cory Barlog at a God of War II launch event. He revealed that the game would run at full 1080p HD resolution, and the game would support SIXAXIS tilt and DualShock functions. Barlog also expressed an interest in adding a cooperative mode "if we can do something unique with it".
It is currently unknown at this point whether God of War creator David Jaffe will have any involvement in the production of God of War III, due to the fact that he is now part of the independent game developer Eat Sleep Play, although keeping on good terms with Sony.

- The mighty Magical blades as a gift to Kratos by Athena.
- Cestus Two big, strong gauntlets in the shape of a lions head, it has similar moves to the Gauntlet of Zeus.
- Zipper A fire bow and arrow with similar moves to the bow that the Typhon had.
- Blade of Olympus (possibly) Kratos is shown at the end of God of War II wielding the powerful blade.
- Blades of Hades (possibly) Many fans speculate that because Hades is and uses these swords Kratos might be able to take the swords and use them if it's true it's unconfirmed what the abilities are.
[edit] Known Magic
- Helios Beam The head of the sun god Helios that can blind enemies and lighten dark places. it can also show secret places in caves and taverns.

- Icarus Wings Wings from the famous Icarus that allows Kratos to glide around distant places.
- Golden Fleece The fleece allows Kratos to reflect any projectiles and beams.
- Hermes Winged Boots in the trailers Kratos is wearing boots with small wings on them. They give him better aerial combos and give him the ability to run on any walls.

- Brute - A golden giant.

A new trailer has been released for God of War III, and in it were seen several upcoming portions in the game. These include enemies such as Harpies, Cyclops, Centaurs, and Undead Legionnaires. Also featured was a new weapon that appears to be a pair of gauntlets in the shape of a lion's head called the Cestus, and appear to have abilities similar to the Gauntlet of Zeus.
