Me wantee! I hope the new director doesn't end up being a problem. 10-page article in this month's Game Informer. Here's some pics some guy took of the mag.
The sheer brutality of Kratos' arsenal of attack swas a trademark of the first game, and you can expect to see a brand new array of sickening kill moves punctuating GoW II's flowing combat. In our hands-on time with the game, we picked up a boar by the hind legs and eviscerated it, kicked a wild dog in the ribs, and clenched a soldier by the neck as we amputated his limbs with his own sword. "There is a much bigger focus on using the enemies' weapons and body parts against them," Barlog reveals. "This broadens the visceral nature of the combat to bascially every enemy you encounter." In these images, Kratos rips out the eye of a rampaging cyclops. What these screens don't reveal, however, is the aftermath: With the cyclops writhing in pain on the ground, Kratos jams the eyeball into the open mouth of the blinded monster before stomping on its jaw to force it shut. Thankfully, a new position on Olympus has done nothing to quench the legendary bloodlust of Kratos.
