Scheduled for release this holiday season, God of War Collection will feature reworked versions of both God of War and God of War II on a single Blu-ray Disc at full 1280 x 720 resolution. Both critically acclaimed games, which were originally developed for the PlayStation 2, have been remastered with anti-aliased graphics running at 60 frames per second for a smooth gameplay experience on the PS3. Additionally, the Blu-ray Disc compilation will bring PlayStation Network trophy support to the franchise for the first time (included for both games). The compilation of both best-selling games costing just $39.99 MSRP.

Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment, Santa Monica Studio, the God of War series brings epic mythological battles to life with stunning graphics and an elaborate plot that puts Kratos, the triology’s main character, at the center of carnage and destruction as he seeks revenge against the Gods who have betrayed him. God of War III is scheduled for release exclusively on the PS3 in March 2010.

“We are excited today to announce God of War Collection,” said Scott Rohde, vice president, Worldwide Studios America. “Our fans spoke and we listened; thanks to our partnership with Bluepoint Games, fans and newcomers to the series can experience the epic God of War and God of War II saga in stunning 720p on PS3. This Blu-ray Disc compilation brings Kratos to PS3 even earlier than expected.”

Setting up the Harmony Adapter didn’t take too long. A quick tap of the button on the underside of the device had it synced with our PS3 in a few seconds. The trip to the computer to setup the Harmony remote itself took a little bit longer. Logitech would do well to simply include a Harmony Adapter device setting, instead you have to add a generic game console and call it the PlayStation 3. Minor quibble, but it would make setup that much easier.

Harmony remotes are well known for their ability to build out “activities”. Activities basically give you one button macros to watch TV or play a game. In a full home theater you’d be pressing more than a few buttons on at least two or three remotes to get to where you need to be, what with all the devices and inputs. With a properly setup activity, one button press turns on the PS3, the TV and the home theater receiver, while simultaneously choosing all the appropriate inputs. If you’ve used universal remotes before it sounds like a tall order, but Logitech’s software makes setting up activities relatively painless.

Within 15 minutes we had the PlayStation 3 integrated into the home theater setup with hardly a hiccup. The Harmony Adapter for the PlayStation 3 delivers exactly what it offers. You can’t really go wrong if you can stomach the cost.
