Sculptor Mark Newman was commissioned to create 100 of these lovely, blood spattered Kratos statues for the team that created the original God of War. Sure, this thing may be ancient in terms of video game news pieces, but it's—to borrow a phrase from Jaffe himself—fuckin' cool. These shots, including some pre-painted sculpts, were just recently added to the artist's deviantART gallery and are further whetting my appetite for the upcoming sequel and our pending interview with GoW2's Cory Barlog.

Thanks for the heads up, Patrick! Michael McWhertor
