Ghost of Sparta, Warhawk demos for PS Plus subscribers
That per year PlayStation Plus subscription is about to start paying off; an early access demo of Kratos’ latest killing spree, the Ready at Dawn-developed God of War: Ghost of Sparta, will next week be made available to Plus subscribers and Plus subscribers alone.
No word on what to specifically expect but blood and guts all over the floor is our bet.
Next week will also see the release of a full game trial for Warhawk, just in case there’s someone out there is interested in acquiring a 3-year-old multiplayer-only shooter. You never know.

Unlikely crew to headline upcoming Telltale Games title
Via GTTV (4:40 mark), Telltale Games has released a brief teaser for an unannounced project which features the silhouettes of an interesting mix of iconic old school characters including Tycho Brahe (Penny Arcade Adventures), Max (Sam & Max), The Heavy (Team Fortress 2) and Strong Bad (Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People).
With the tagline; “bet you never thought these guys would get together,” the studio couldn’t be more spot-on. These characters span numerous adventure games and a team-based shooter, so the genre of the unnamed title is highly unpredictable. Couple this with the fact that the characters are owned by three different developers (Telltale Games, Valve and Hothead Games) and we have a lot of guesswork on our hands.
However from the image above it is clear that at least two of the characters are holding a hand of cards, potentially pointing towards some sort of RPG card-game. It could also be a title like Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. series, which took a similar cross-developer, cross-genre cast and made an all-star brawler game.
The trailer tells us to expect more information on September 2, so all our questions on this mysterious title are sure to be answered within a week.
EA wants you to ‘experience’ Medal of Honor
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 had ‘moments‘, Medal of Honor has ‘experiences’; EA’s just popped over the first in a series of “MOH Experience” clips — subtitled “Fallen Angel” — showing off a bit of the Afghanistan-bound shooter’s DICE-developed multiplayer component.
It also looks to be giving a glimpse of those “overhauled and upgraded” graphics; the visuals appear to have received a noticeable bump over the beta.
The game’s out in October; the 12th in North America, 15th in Europe.
