God of War novel detailed, new GoW III shot

Book penned by Matthew Stover (Revenge of the Sith novelist) out in March
The first of a series of God of War novels will arrive in March 2010, simply titled God of War, penned by Matthew Stover.

Who's he? A quick Wiki search says he did four Star Wars books, including the novelisation of Revenge of the Sith. So something you may have heard of, then.

"In the novel Gof Of War, Kratos, the game's protagonist, is a great warrior who seeks revenge on the God of War Ares for the deaths of his wife and child. On his journey to Olympus, Kratos must battle great monsters of legend--and fight his own inner demons," says the official blurb.

"Kratos' quest will take him through a world of Greek mythology transformed, in which the familiar legends take on a terrifying new life--from the Aegean, where Kratos will grapple with the Great Hydra, to the depths of Hades, where Kratos will face death itself, to the heights of Mount Olympus. With all the thrilling action that got fans hooked on the game, the novel GoD Of War takes us deeper into this fascinating world."

Considering how story driven the games were they could possibly translate very well to a novel or two, just as long as the author is up to the task.

Sounds pretty cool.
Now where is that Resistance book?

I wonder if people will now start accusing Sony of milking this franchise...

*nerd alert*

Stover is one of the better Star Wars novel writers, so this should be interesting.

I thought you didn't comment on PS3 articles.

Who are you trying to be? A stalker?

I have a perfectly valid retort to that, but now I feel compelled to not explain myself to you.

That's the most important piece right there. Let's face it, Greek mythology will give you plenty of sources, so it just depends on the author putting together something worthwhile. Doesn't really matter that the games were story-driven, as even the first Gears of War book was quite a good read. I'm reading the second one currently and it's shaping up well. 8)

At least you're not crying about PS3 owners posting on Xbox related articles.
