A good character can represent an entire generation or just a game genre that is powerful. No matter how far back we may go in gaming there is always a connection to be found and an experience that others can share with you. These mascots of the gaming world are much more than a person in a rubber suit representing our colleges or favorite sports teams. They represent a feeling, an idea and most importantly the power of the human mind.

1. The Mario Brothers:

Well this one is obvious, they’re basically the little Italian men that started it all. Hell, Mario is the guywho is dodging barrels and saving the damsel in distress before he even had a game himself. His nemesis is a guerrilla with an identity crisis who thought he was a donkey and there were more ladders than most of us would care to ever actually climb.

Then he met up with his brother and they went on to fight Bowser and save the Princess as well as the Mushroom kingdom. Mario and his brother Luigi are the most iconic characters in video game history and probably the most popular plumbers to never actually unclog a pipe. They’ve had cartoons, a movie and merchandise named after them. The Mario Brothers are where many of us started as gamers. We will always have fond memories of these brothers no matter what platform we’ve chosen as our favorite.

So we won’t really say this is a sign of Sony making good on Santa Monica’s promise. As stated, it could be just about anything. However, given how easily a next generation God of War could tip the scales in Sony’s favour for the PS4, it would be interesting if this were indeed a new game.

After all, where could Kratos go from here? Stay tuned for more details and check out our review of God of War: Ascension.

On Kratos, he states:

We wanted to pay proper homage to Kratos, so the approach we took was to have his playstyle reflect some of the most iconic weapons in God of War, such as the Blades of Chaos and Apollo’s Bow. His supers revolve around his ultimate weapon, the Blade of Olympus, and we even have him grow in size to pay homage to his initial transformation in the original.

For Radec, Kendall states:

We designed Radec’s gameplay around the idea that he’s this character who controls certain spaces very well; namely, the entire horizontal space in front of him as well as the diagonal spaces in front of him. His VC32 Sniper Rifle (Forward + Triangle) and his VC21 Boltgun (Neutral + Circle) are two of his main weapons for controlling space far out in front of him.

Ever imagined how popular video game box arts will look like if Kratos were to be re-imagined in it?  The answer is awesome.

Warner’s released a full blown gameplay trailer for God of War Kratos, who’s part of the roster in the upcoming Mortal Kombat game.

He’ll be only available in the PS3 version of the game (pigs don’t fly yet, you know) and PS3 fans are in for a special treat by the looks of it.

The move set looks really good and you can see Kratos using  his trusty weapons to obliterate his opponents.

Enjoy the trailer. The game releases next month for PS3 and Xbox 360.

VG247 states, now that Santa Monica Studios finished working on their stunning 3 year-project, God Of War 3, they have no idea what to work on next! As the team said, Kratos’ story comes to an end in GOW3, but this doesn’t mean that it’s the end for the franchise.

All Santa Monica Studio wants us to do is play God of War 3 and enjoy it to the max! So lets do so, and let them handle their amazing work!
