Kratos comes home today

​By Ryan Winslett

I know a lot of you probably read my God of War: Ghost of Sparta demo hands-on from a couple weeks ago and couldn't help but think two things.

First: That I'm an attractive man and a capable wordsmith.

Second: That you would certainly like to get your own hands on the sweet, sweet, blood-soaked awesomeness that is Ghost of Sparta.

Well, your time has come. The God of War: Ghost of Sparta demo is set to launch this afternoon as part of the regular weekly PSN update.

After you've tried out the new moves, wielded the new weapons and murdered a two-headed, four-armed lightning-statue-beast, you should have a better idea of whether or not you'll want to make the full purchase once the game releases Nov. 2.

You'll want to make up your mind soon, however, as everyone who pre-orders the title will have access to a collection of six digital pre-order gifts, including a PSN avatar, PS3 and PSP themes and an interview with the creative director's of every God of War game.

Those gaming on the PSP Go can purchase the game from Nov. 29 to receive the same goodies.

Be sure to check out the demo later today and drop by to let us know what you think.
