There's something going on with the Island of Rhodes site devoted to the hit God of War games by Sony. There's a dark screen showing Kratos and a pillar of flame below him. Most importantly, there's a countdown timer ticking away in the middle of the screen.

God Of War - Image 1 


Is the countdown on to something big? Is there a connection between the timer and upcoming releases for the PSP? There is a little room for doubt as the site isn't exactly on the official Sony payroll. so we can suggest that it may be some internal event in the Island of Rhodes.

Whatever it is, it's got the collective imagination of God of War fans captured and riveted. We'll update you for more developments regarding this curious matter.

 » It's Sony

Its definately something Sony is doing. Not only does it have the typical Sony disclaimer/barrage of icons on the bottom, but a whois on the domain points right back to Sony.

I got the page source and there was a link in there. I opened the link and downloaded a java script file. When I opened the file, I found a bunch of stuff relating to Sony. I even found some information about God of War and God of War 2.

 » Where this site came from

This site was found when someone got a combo of 999,000 in God of War II. Once that was hit, below the combo meter, instead of saying things like "Olympic!", "Godly!", or "Impossible!", it'd say that website.

 » the date...

if you decompile the city_shell.swf, you will only find some code stuff which generate the countdown in sprite 4 until day: 2007, 4, 13

the javascript stuff is *****... no exactly infos and links
