God of War: Ghost of Sparta

God of War: Ghost of Sparta is an action-adventure game developed by Ready at Dawn and SCE Santa Monica Studio and released by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Portable in November 2010.

The latest addition to the God of War Series as of 2011, God of War: Ghost of Sparta is the sixth installment of the series, released on the Playstation Portable and the PSP Go.

The story is the second interquel between the first God of War and God of War II, taking place some time before the events of Betrayal, and has Kratos visiting the long lost city of Atlantis.

Gameplay
An action "hack and slash" game with fluid combat, the game sets you, Kratos, against an army of undead soldiers and mythological creatures like the Cyclops.

The game features gameplay similar to previous installments in the series. It is a third-person action adventure game, where the player controls Kratos, containing quick time events, box-based puzzles and boss fights. The game features new weapons, magical powers and navigational abilities not present in previous games, and has been cited as featuring 25 percent more gameplay than its PSP predecessor Chains of Olympus.

Kratos' arsenal includes the "Blades of Athena" and the "Arms of Sparta" (a spear and shield). Kratos also gains the ability "Thera's Bane" (infuses the Blades of Athena with fire) and in this game acts as the "Rage" feature. As with the Items used in God of War III, this ability automatically replenishes itself. Both Arms of Sparta and Thera's Bane are used to overcome environmental obstacles.

The combat system has been updated to allow Kratos to "pummel enemies to the ground as well as throw them", and perform air-to-air attacks. An "augmented death system" is also being used.
