It looks like I am getting my hands on a psp demo for God of War: Chains of Olympus once September rolls around. For now the development team plans on sending out update emails on some of the concept art (see above) to date. Get excited.
“It’s no easy task bringing God of War to the PSP. Fans have come to expect these huge landscapes, complex gameplay and visceral combat that God of War I and II gave them. To bring that same experience on the PSP we are pushing the hardware further than ever before. We’re really pleased with what we have so far but we’re not done yet. We still have a few tricks up our sleeves. I’m also really proud of the story of Chains of Olympus and I can assure you that their will be some mind–bending puzzles in their for you guys.”

It’s been talked about for a year now but the question still remains unanswered. Will the new E3 make as big of a splash this year as it has historically? The newly named “Media Summit” hopes that by returning back to its invite-only roots and replacing the bells and whistles with an intimate setting it will better serve the global computer and video game industry. G4 plans on providing live coverage of E3 July 10 & 13th.
As for everyone else, tune into “E For All” the new expo that allows the public to test drive the latest games and gadgets. The date is set for October 18 – 21 and tickets range from $45 – 90.

If the Slurpee isn’t enough of a reason to tempt you into swinging by your local 7-Eleven, maybe a limited edition Simpson’s inspired Buzz Cola or KrustyO’s cereal box will spark your curiosity. To build buzz around the July 27th opening of “The Simpsons Movie”, 20th Century Fox and 7-Eleven Corp’s latest promotional campaign brings to life products that until now only existed on TV. Unfortunately, Duff’s Beer will not be part of the reverse product placement since the movie is rated PG-13.
According to the Associated Press, 7-Eleven’s Ad Agency, Freshworks (Omnicom Group) brought this concept to life hoping it would ignite some humor into the brand. While no confirmed budget was revealed it was quoted that the partnership was somewhere in the single millions.
