Late last night, the ESRB forced the removal of several gruesome God of War III trailers and replaced them with censored versions. Two of the more notorious scenes shown thus far from the game, one where Kratos rips the eye out of a cyclops and one where Kratos tears the head of Helios from his body, were blocked out by a big 'censored by the ESRB' logo. The two scenes both showed detailed flesh tearing and gore.
