God of War would definitely be in my top 10 gaming franchises of all time. I keep beating myself up for never having played God of War 2. Even though it’s been on my to-do list before the coming of GoW3, it seem that my procrastination has paid off. Because this holiday season the hi-def blu-ray collection edition is coming out I’ll have an even bigger incentive to flip out with Kratos for the second installment. May even charge through the first again for posterity.

From VG247

God of War Collection will feature reworked versions of both God of War® and God of War® II on a single Blu-ray Disc™ at full 1280 x 720 resolution. Both critically acclaimed games, which were originally developed for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, have been remastered with anti-aliased graphics running at 60 frames per second for a smooth gameplay experience on the PS3 system. Additionally, the Blu-ray Disc compilation will bring PlayStation®Network (PSN) trophy support to the franchise for the first time (included for both games).”

Comin’ at you for $39.99
I woulda dropped $20 for GoW2 anyway.
