So this is the LAST WEEKEND you will be able to play the ModNation Beta. Sadly all good things have to come to an end. For those of you who got on to the Beta and only had a quick play I would suggest you go back and just revisit the Madness and see how creative your fellow ModNation fans have been.

From some awesome wild and wacky race tracks that have completely blown my mind to some of the most amazingly creative Mods and Karts.

All I can say is thank you for testing the game and being so creative with a small amount of tools.

Finally, last week on the blog I challenged you to create a few more PlayStation Characters. You guys surprised even me with the most amazing Buzz, Jak and Daxter creations I’ve ever seen.

Well done guys you did me proud. Enjoy your last weekend of playing.

As mentioned in my previous blog post, here is a brand new God of War III trailer for you, presented by Stig Asmussen, the Game Director.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Here’s Stig Asmussen on the U.S. blog:

Just wanted to tell everyone how excited we are at SCEA Santa Monica Studio to release this new trailer for God of War III. Considering it has been almost a year since we have put out a new video, this is a really special time for us and we hope everyone enjoys it!

Just to give a little perspective on what we were going for with this trailer, we really wanted to sell the high action of the game and put together snippets of several of the big moments. Everything is pulled straight from the game – there is no trickery, etc. Everything is running in “real time.” There are no “cinematic” sequences here, meaning this is all gameplay.

Towards the end of the trailer we reveal some of the moments from our January media event. If you look closely you can see Kratos on the arm of Gaia fighting against the “Leviathan” water creature, giving a sneak peek of the scale in our game. I am very proud of the work our team has done and how this trailer showcases it. The final game has a ton more that is not shown here and I can’t wait to see what everyone thinks about it!

That’s it for this week, I’ll be back again soon for some more God of War III news. Stay tuned!

Love is in the air, and so is the sweet smell of fresh braaaiinns. Show your deadication and buy the complete Marvel Zombies mini series which is available this week on the store!

Other highlights include:
From IDW we have the highly entertaining (and adult) Tank Girl: The Gifting where co-creator Alan C. Martin teams up with Ashley Wood to offer redemption to anyone who sat through the Tank Girl movie. We also reach the conclusion of the wonderful Groom Lake which comes with audio commentary. Honestly you need to buy this series! Locke & Key also starts a new story arc this week called Head Games.

Insomnia release the 2nd chapter of the innovative Cancertown of which Sci-Fi Pulse wrote “Cancertown leaps out of the page at you, grabs you by the jugular and doesn’t let you go. Simply put, it’s weird, disturbing and any number of other words that you’d associate with horror. It is also compelling and, in the tradition of the best horror comics, has just the right mix of action, adventure and mystery thrown in to keep you guessing.” Remember the first chapter is free to download.
