Cory Barlog, lead developer on <em>God of War II</em>, wrote in his blog today that <em>God of War III</em> is in good hands. Barlog says Sony's Santa Monica team is very talented and he already did the story and design for the third game before <a href="http://playstation3.joystiq.com/2007/11/06/god-of-wars-cory-barlog-leaving-scea/">parting ways with Sony</a>, he says Kratos' finale will end with a "very big, very epic bang though."<br /><br />Barlog doesn't give any indication what he's currently working on, simply saying he's "cooking up several things." Poor Kratos seems to chew up and spit out his <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/DavidJaffe/">lead developers</a>.
