Chart Toppers: Chains Don't Hold Back Kratos

Gamedaily.Biz writes: "Kratos' first adventure on the PSP is easily one of the best games on the portable, and gamers snatched up over 340K units in its first month. We chat with SCEA's Jeff Reese about the game's great start.

God of War II made a very large splash in March 2007 and was a classic example of a late generation success on a venerable console. The game was incredibly polished and featured graphics that may be the most technically advanced in the PS2's history. It set the bar very high and left many wondering how the series would translate onto the next planned entry for the PSP.

A year later, God of War: Chains of Olympus is out and it's more than lived up to the lofty expectations placed upon it. The game is proving to be one of the most critically acclaimed titles in the PSP's history and is also turning into one of the system's most successful launches yet. With God of War III impending for the PS3 sometime in the near future, God of War: Chains of Olympus may be the perfect solution to keep the hype for the franchise going strong.

We talked with Jeff Reese, SCEA Director of Software Marketing, to find out why Kratos is so angry all the time."
