Disclaimer: Displaying the Kratos Blade of Chaos Will Not Make You Tough

Sorry, guys. This fake blade may look badass, but it won't make you a badass.

Instead, this blade, which is cast from zinc aluminum and sits on a handsome wooden stand, will ensure that only women who are attracted to both video game enthusiasts and weapons fetishists will spend any time in your home. And we all know how rare they are.

But hey, if you have $124 that you really need to get rid of, I guess there are worse ways to spend it. [Budk]

Red PSP Coming Bundled With God of War This Summer

There's no exact date yet, but Kotaku's reporting that a red PSP will be hitting this summer bundled with a copy of God of War: Chains of Olympus as well as Superbad and a gift certificate for a downloadable PlayStation Store game. It's similar to the Star Wars PSP from last summer in that it's a branded PSP, but instead of a bald disabled man with a deep voice, you're getting a bald Spartan with a deep voice. [Kotaku]

Sony PSP God of War Mod Looks Bloodthirstily Fantastic

Really enjoy God of War? Then Gizmodo Buddy Ramon, who created the ultimate DS Lite Zelda mod and the ultimate Legend of Zelda Wii mod, has something for you. It's the, dare we say it, ultimate PSP God of War Mod (Mod of War).

There are red LEDs, golden chains (the game is Chains of Olympus), and a blood red and gold finish that adorns both the front and back. A lot of this stuff is hand sculpted as well. He's even throwing in a display case that looks like an old battle chest. The best part is that proceeds go to the Child's Play charity, which is Penny Arcade's charity to help out sick kids. What better way to play the upcoming God of War game than on this thing? [eBay - Thanks Ramon!]

Sony Goes Nuts at European God of War II Release Party

Sony really knows how to party. It wasn't enough to have topless ladies at the God of War II European unveiling, they had to go and decapitate a goat and put it on display. Not only that, they invited visitors to stick their hands down the neck, grab out some intestines (not the goat's own, they were procured elsewhere and shoved inside), and eat them. Fantastic.

Best yet, the entire thing was documented in their official PlayStation magazine, whose 80,000 print run has been recalled thanks to the stunt. Nice work Sony. Next time, just call it a day after you get the nude ladies. – Jason Chen
