God of War's Cory Barlog leaving SCEA
According to a Sony spokesperson, the publisher is grateful for Barlog's "work and creative vision for the critically acclaimed God of War franchise", but is also confident that the remaining team will successfully churn out "epic content with God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP and God of War III for PS3." Yes, that's the same God of War III which remains officially unannounced but completely expected. Try not to muck it up, Mr. Barlog's replacement!

you can fight balrogs in lotro? nice
DemonGSides @ Nov 6th 2007 9:44PM
Not LotR:O
Its the last gen game, that came out after the movies were released.
You take the path of three very similar (but not quite the main characters from the movies) and your story interweaves with those from the actual story.
In this case, fighting the balrog with gandalf.
gonk @ Nov 6th 2007 9:46PM
oh, lame
gandalf beat the balrog solo :p

I believe it was called LOR: The Third Age.

This franchise must be haunted. It keeps eating careers. Next thing you know Barlog is gonna make some downloadable pick-up-and-play games and bitch and moan about the review scores on his blog. Then he'll move out to the desert and disappear.

are those post-its on your face?
F. Rocker or Fernando R.? @ Nov 6th 2007 10:01PM
Yeah... he explain it to me that the post-it's gives him more contrast to his skin. Or something like that.
Rubang B (BRUSH WITH FAME) @ Nov 6th 2007 10:03PM
Of course they are! I needed a nice bright solid color for proper moustache contrast. It's long enough to stick in my eyes now.

Legend has it that once your moustache is long enough to stick in your ears, you get to be the king of Joystiq. Here's the full pic. Bask in my face power!

Thats hardcore right there.
;)
Rubang B (BRUSH WITH FAME) @ Nov 7th 2007 3:23AM
Hell yeah pink's hardcore! I have a matching pink Wii remote sleeve and a candy pink (Japanese import only) DS Phat (with a pink DS Lite rumble pak so my white DS Lite doesn't get jealous). And I bought the pink outer layer in Harajuku and wear it every day! And that's only 1 out of my 3 pink wifebeaters.

Rats leaving a sinking ship?
XanthouS @ Nov 6th 2007 10:53PM
Keep telling yourself that.
Mr Khan @ Nov 8th 2007 4:52PM
The console sales are a sinking ship (numerically and financially), but the God of War franchise is only growing in popularity after the awesome of God of War 2 (my bet for Best Action Game of 2007) and the coming PSP-maxing power of Chains of Olympus

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Sidepocket @ Nov 7th 2007 12:14AM
Come to Nintendo. We have Monster Hunter 3. :D
Yuccadude @ Nov 7th 2007 1:17AM
I see what you did ...oh, I see, well, I'll move onto the next witty post to point out the funny.
Jimiisama @ Nov 7th 2007 1:50AM
...then followed up with a link combo into a super cancel.

God of War will never be the same. I wonder if he's leaving to go join this: http://www.hhgl.com ? Their headquarters is right down the street in Santa Monica. It looks pretty cool. I can't tell if it's real or not? What do you guys think?
