This sounds pretty cool, Trophies and all, Joe!

‘God of War’ compilation coming to PlayStation 3
Kratos is arriving on PlayStation 3 this holiday.

No, the long-awaited God of War III isn’t shipping early. Sony will package the first two God of War games in a Blu-ray compilation arriving later this year for $39.99, the publisher announced through the official PlayStation blog.

God of War and God of War II, both released on PlayStation 2, will be playable in full 720p HD resolution, and include support for trophies.

As for Kratos’ true debut on a PlayStation 3 game, God of War III is slated to arrive in March 2010.

For those unfamiliar with the franchise, God of War follows the Spartan warrior in a third-person action game based on Greek mythology. It has proven to become one of Sony’s most successful and exhiliarating first-party endeavours since its 2005 debut.

It also provided some of video games’ more exciting boss encounters, including the unforgettable Hydra battle from the first game.
