Happy Halloween! Not only do I bring you this week’s new releases on your favorite PlayStation console, but I bring you a collection of last minute Halloween costume ideas. Zeus! Ares! Athena! Oh my. Your favorite mythological Greek God-killer, Kratos, returns on the PSP this week with God of War: Ghost of Sparta. Stayed tuned this week when we debut my latest video feature when I visit the set of “God of War: Game Director’s Live,” where the game directors of God of War reunite and dissect the making of their epic saga. David Jaffe’s and Cory Barlog’s PlayStation 2 classics God of War and God of War II are remastered in high definition and bring the Blades of Chaos to the PlayStation Network this week.
Not big on dressing up with you family’s ashes for Halloween? Maybe dressing up as the adorable EyePet is a good alternative to the blood spilling and vengeance of Kratos. Grab your PSP, PSP Camera and your EyePet and take your virtual critter out to the park this week, when EyePet: Your Virtual Pet comes scratching at your door. The PlayStation horizon is filled with games this week branching from the PlayStation 3, PSone and even the PlayStation 2.

GT5 Release Date info :)
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/10/30/gt5_retailer_date/
A Gamestop was set on fire a few weeks ago. Think about it Sony….
Let just say the game I’m thinking of rhymes with “Man Furismo Jive”. (wink, wink,… stomps foot… writes Gran Turismo 5 on white board… explains what he is referring to is Gran Turismo 5… gives up after plainly expressing his interest with Gran Turismo 5… goes to sleep… awaits April Fool’s day, now moved to Nov. 2.) The End

Everybudy post this coment:
Sony and Polyphony Digital We want the release date now!
^Nah.
But I will say that the fans are speaking. I do hope Sony speaks in return. This is no different than any relationship; communication is key.
GRAN TURISMO 5!
Sony/pd , give us some GT5 ! At least some info to confirm you guys are actually working on it. I spent €190,- on gt5 so a release date is the least I/we could expect from you !
^They can’t wake up, they’re like Alice in Wonderland.
GT5 RELEASE DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two days from what would have been one of the BIGGEST exclusive launches and you quietly canceled it without a SINGLE word!! NOTHING!!!! Now PD goes off to car shows, showing the same old demo as if nothing is wrong. Are you guys serious about releasing this game?? At all??? 2011 is GUARANTEED at this point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SAY SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at the presence that LPB2 has on this blog. Constant posts, videos, a beta.. they even suffered the same fate as GT5 with a delay but they’re back on here at least letting the fans know what is going on with the game. PD doesn’t seem to give a crap about keeping the fans informed through this blog. They’re tied with Sony Computer Entertainment yet even they don’t contribute anything. This is truly strange.
GT5 release date!!
We don’t wanna know about PSN games !!
Trick or treat! I guess us GT5 fans got tricked again!! LMAO!!
Seems like a fine update for PSP owners, though still lacking in backlog titles and pretty thin in regards to PS1 classics.
Hope to see some good sales this week, since it doesn’t look like there is anything I can’t live without being released.
Where’s GT5 ?!! We need a release date Sony!! I already cancelled my collector’s edition because this is too much!
@127
PD doesn’t have a community manager.
how at this point in the game a developer like PD doesn’t have a community manager to get at the very least SOME info out there is beyond me.
then again the silence we are getting from the PS blog community managers is even worse because at least they are here supposedly to get some important info out to us fans. Instead we get post after post of blissful ignorance to the pressing issue at hand.
The utter and almost complete disappearance of Gran Turismo 5. We are yet a few days away from what would have been the biggest launch in the PS3’s history and instead we are greeted with nothing. Absolutely and completely nothing. No reason, no explanation, just more unanswered questions and speculation which has plagued the ENTIRE development of GT5.
Wake up PD!! Wake up SONY!! We aren’t gonna be here forever, waiting like good little lap dogs. Too much of my hard earned money has gone into this series only to be treated as if we are mindless drones willing to do whatever, whenever because its “gran turismo” I’ve had enough and by the rest of the comments in here so has everyone else.
Where is GT5 at you guys knwo there a lot of people very mad cause Gran Tursimo 5 got delayed some of us did pro order the secial edition or collcaters edtion btw when is the next Firmware update coming we need it bad
GRAN TURISMO 5: Are you hurt? Do you need assistance? Isn’t anybody taking care of you? Are your parents home?
Sony, you’re the parents. Speak up. Speak up. Speak up. Speak up.Speak up. Speak up.Speak up. Speak up.Speak up. Speak up.Speak up. Speak up.Speak up. Speak up.Speak up. Speak up.Speak up. Speak up.Speak up. Speak up.Speak up. Speak up.Speak up. Speak up.
In case you didn’t get it by now Sony, it’s all about GT5!
Re-release GT5 release date !!!
they’re still making PS2 games? huh, thought they stopped after Okami.
I speak for the GT community when I say we’ve had enough of the lies, the misrepresentations, the delays, and now the silence over GT5′s release.
GET THE GAME GOING!
GET THE GAME GOING!
GET THE GAME GOING!
GET THE GAME GOING!
GET THE GAME GOING!
wow, the comments are crazy.
Amazon has the release date for GT5:
This item will be released on December 31, 2010.
You guys’ve got to lighten up. I think a lot of keyboards have been broken tonight.

WHAT THE HELL SONY? Yes it was russia at first who announced the delay on october 13th but that delay was WORLDWIDE incuding NORTH AMERICA, why the hell Sony tells us announcement of a release date for GT5 would be near the end of october when we are now at the END of GT5 with NO FRIGGING RELEASE DATE. Sony, STOP PLAYING WITH THE GAMERS and give us a release date for GT5.
END of OCTOBER
