Sony today announced the North American release of the God of War Collection, bringing God of War and God of War II to the PlayStation 3 for the first time; all for the low price of $39.99.

The God of War Collection features high-definition versions of both God of War and God of War II on a single Blu-ray Disc at 720p resolution. Both games, which were originally developed for the PlayStation 2, have been digitally re-mastered with full-screen anti-aliased graphics running at 60 frames per second. Additionally, PlayStation Network Trophy support has been added to the franchise for the first time – for both games.

God of War Storyline: Set in the dark world of ancient Greek mythology, players take on the role of Kratos, a Spartan warrior. Plagued by the nightmares of his past, the ash covered warrior would do anything to be free of his debt to the Gods and the memories that haunt him. For ten years he has labored for Olympus, now on the verge of losing all hope, the Gods have given him one last task. Destroy Ares, the God of War. Armed with the deadly chained Blades of Chaos, Kratos will have to overcome armies of mythological monsters, legions of undead soldiers, and amazingly dangerous and brutal landscapes.

God of War II Storyline: God of War saw Kratos, a mortal warrior, set upon an epic quest to dethrone a God. But his journey did not end there. In God of War II, Kratos sits atop his Olympus throne, as the new God of War – far more ruthless than Ares ever was. To end his continued torment, Kratos must journey to the far reaches of the earth and defeat untold horrors and alter that which no mortal, or god has ever changed… his fate. God of War sets an epic stage for a devastating mythological war to end all wars.
