YORK, Pa. (AdAge.com) -- "God of War III," the latest installment in one of Sony PlayStation's premier franchises, is gearing up for battle, and it's enlisted as allies 7-Eleven and Mtn Dew.
Starting Feb. 1, fans of the Greek mythology-based action game can head to 7-Eleven when the Kratos Fury Slurpee flavor, created by Mtn Dew and the convenience-store chain, debuts. The blackberry-and-lime-flavored drink will also come with a choice of four different "God of War" artwork cups.
The cups will give each Slurpee buyer a code that allows them to download a variety of content including behind-the-scenes video of the making the game, an animated theme of Kratos' face, wallpaper for PCs and virtual items that unlock armor to use inside the game. Hanging neck tags on all Mountain Dew two-liter and 20-ounce bottles will also include codes that can be redeemed at slurpee.com.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
Cultured Vultures: Let’s delve into Kratos’ long and rampageous history and find out which games are worth the hype and which are better left buried under the weight of Kratos’s might.
Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.
My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.
There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.
Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.
God of War 3 Remaster has sold 4 million copies since its inception, making the franchise PlayStation's most profitable gamer merch brand.
Haha I still remember my brother playing the opening scene on ps3!!!
Yeh he had to put the controller down his heart was beating too fast trying to get past first 10 minutes. He said "it's too much". Best thing I've ever seen in gaming. Haha
I know this is unpopular opinion, but I prefer these over the new ones. I’m not saying the new ones are bad or anything, but they sort of get boring to me, whereas the older games were like non-stop roller coaster rides.
Too bad they don't include a deal with the 7 11 hotdogs. The hotdogs are large $2 hotdogs and I like putting as much cheese, chili, onions, and jalapenos on them.
There is a 7-11 right across my college. I know what I will be buying :)
Is me or does it seem like to anyone that these cups will be collectibles the artwork is so badass. I will be keeping minds. Playb3yond
I'm playing through God of War II to get my trophies.... LOL I know, I'm a trophy-whore.... but only for the GOW series. I'm thoroughly enjoying the play throughs..... it's awesome. Can't wait for GOW3 to drop!!!
It's about time Sony started doing stuff like this.
