E3 07: God of War: Chains of Olympus Hands On

This is the game I'm going to buy a PSP for.  Sure I'm getting the cool Star Wars PSP bundle that Sony announced last week but God of War:Chains of Olympus is the game that's finally going to get me to buy a PSP even though I only spent about five minutes with the game.  The game looks gorgeous on the PSP's 4.5 inch screen and it looks and plays like a God of War game.  It will take a little getting used to playing the game with the little thumb stick on the PSP but the combat feels as good as it does on the console version.  I really didn't play the demo enough to tell you exactly what I was doing but I got the chance to take out a nice group of soldiers before firing a ballista at some incoming boats.  Hopefully the rest of the game is as good as the short demo they showed as this may be the system seller that Sony has been looking for.
