Pretty soon, you'll get to revisit God of War and God of War II on the PlayStation 3 in an all new 720p resolution and at 60 frames per second. Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced the God of War Collection, coming this holiday season for a $39.99 MSRP. The God of War Collection includes the original PlayStation 2 God of War games, and will also offer Trophy unlockables as an incentive to replay the games. Game developer Bluepoint Games, who worked on one of the first PS3 downloadable games, Blast Factor, will be helping to bring the God of War Collection to the PlayStation 3.

Back in April 2009, Sony asked God of War fans what they would like to see in a possible God of War 3 Collector's Edition. One of the things listed as an option was "God of War and God of War II on Blu-ray." It seems the feedback was good enough to warrant the God of War Collection. There's no official word yet on whether the God of War 3 Collector's Edition will include the God of War Collection.

Details on the God of War Collection, from SCEA's announcement:
"Scheduled for release this holiday season, God of War Collection will feature reworked versions of both God of War® and God of War® II on a single Blu-ray Disc™ at full 1280 x 720 resolution. Both critically acclaimed games, which were originally developed for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, have been remastered with anti-aliased graphics running at 60 frames per second for a smooth gameplay experience on the PS3 system. Additionally, the Blu-ray Disc compilation will bring PlayStation®Network (PSN) trophy support to the franchise for the first time (included for both games). God of War Collection offers substantial value to PS3 consumers, the compilation of both best-selling games costing just $39.99 MSRP.

God of War Storyline:
Set in the dark world of ancient Greek mythology, players take on the role of Kratos, a Spartan warrior. Plagued by the nightmares of his past, the ash covered warrior would do anything to be free of his debt to the Gods and the memories that haunt him. For ten years he has labored for Olympus, now on the verge of losing all hope, the Gods have given him one last task. Destroy Ares, the God of War. Armed with the deadly chained Blades of Chaos, Kratos will have to overcome armies of mythological monsters, legions of undead soldiers, and amazingly dangerous and brutal landscapes.

God of War II Storyline:
God of War saw Kratos, a mortal warrior, set upon an epic quest to dethrone a God. But his journey did not end there. In God of War II, Kratos sits atop his Olympus throne, as the new God of War – far more ruthless than Ares ever was. To end his continued torment, Kratos must journey to the far reaches of the earth and defeat untold horrors and alter that which no mortal, or god has ever changed… his fate. God of War II sets an epic stage for a devastating mythological war to end all wars."

The God of War Collection comes at a great time to play, or replay, the God of War game series before the release of God of War III, coming to the PlayStation 3 in March 2010.
