God of War: Ascension announced by online retailer
Rumors have been roaming around the net for a possible God of War IV announcement. Well those rumors are actually spot on, a new God of War is coming, called God of War: Ascension.
Today, Amazon.com posted a possible box art for the game and a teaser trailer that hints the game being a prequel to the five games already out.
From the trailer, it really sounds like it's a prequel. Even before he became the Ghost of Sparta.
Amazon places God of War: Ascension for a December 31, 2013 release, but that release date from these sites usually mean no official date has been announced. But expected to be around 2013.
Is this the new God of War you wanted? A prequel? Or would you rather find out what happens after God of War 3?
I'm good either way. As long as a new God of War game is on the way, I'm happy.
Expect more news coming from Sony about this reveal in the next few days.

Darksiders 2 delay confirmed
THQ's Darksiders 2, planned for a June released, is now pushed back for an August release. People believed that a delay was coming because of the layoffs that happened at THQ but Vigil states the reason of the delay is for game polishing and fixing game bugs.
Two months delay isn't so bad. I'm all for a more polished game rather than a game rushed out the door.
Darksiders is now for an August release for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The Wii U version of the game will be released on console release day.

Halo 4 gets a release date
Yes, the series that everybody thought ended is now back with yet another trilogy. Halo 4 is on the way and it now has a release date. Halo fans, Halo 4 is coming on November 6 2012.
Microsoft officially announced the game's release date.
“We are beginning a new saga with ‘Halo 4’ and embarking on a journey that will encompass the next decade of ‘Halo’ games and experience,” said Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer.
“Millions of fans worldwide have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to step back into the boots of Master Chief, and with ‘Halo 4’ leading the charge, we’re confident 2012 will be the most successful year in Xbox history.”
Most successful year in Xbox history? Pretty accurate since were talking about Halo here, the flagship game of the Xbox. No game footage yet, but it's definitely going to be the same game but with Master Chief's story moving forward, and of course some changes in multiplayer. Take note though, this is the first Halo title without Bungie. Bungie has said goodbye to the Halo series when they completed all DLC content for Halo: Reach. 343 Industries is now in charge of the new Halo trilogy.
Halo 4 E3 2011 reveal trailer
Again, just in case you missed it. November 6, 2012 is Halo 4 day.
