God of War Collection

God of War Collection is a remastered port (the first Classics HD release) of God of War and God of War II for the PlayStation 3 on a single Blu-ray Disc that was released in North America on November 17, 2009. In Europe, the Collection was included in the God of War III: Ultimate Trilogy Edition (March 18, 2010 in Australia and New Zealand; March 19, 2010 in Europe). It was released in Japan as a standalone on March 18, 2010 and was published by Capcom and was later released in the God of War III Trilogy Edition which included God of War III and God of War Collection on March 25, 2010. The game was released in Australia on April 29, 2010. and in the UK on April 30, 2010.
The original God of War and God of War II were ported by Bluepoint Games and use the features of the PlayStation 3, including high-definition resolutions (720p), anti-aliased graphics locked in at 60 frames per second and Trophies (71 total with a platinum trophy for each game). The bonus materials contained on the second disc of the original two-disc PS2 version of God of War II are included with the Blu-ray version of the collection. The port was derived from feedback of fans of the series and was viewed as a means of introducing new players to the series prior to the release of God of War III. The God of War III game demo from E3 2009 was included with early copies of the game.
SCE Santa Monica Studio ran a sweepstakes in November 2009 for the release of God of War Collection. The grand prize was an autographed "Gold" disc (a first pressing of the game created when assets were finalized and reached "Gold" status), exclusive artwork created and signed by a God of War team member, a Limited Edition Kratos T-shirt, and a never before released Limited Edition 10" Figurine of Kratos. First place prize was a copy of God of War Collection signed by the Development Team. Winners were announced in December 2009.
On November 2, 2010, God of War Collection was released as a digital download on the PlayStation Store (God of War and God of War II being the first PS2 games to receive this treatment). PlayStation Plus subscribers may also download a one hour trial of each game and for a limited time could receive a God of War III skin with the purchase of each game: "Phantom of Chaos" (God of War) and "Forgotten Warrior" (God of War II) respectively. The bonus materials for God of War II are not included with the digital download version.
