It’s only fitting that upon the recent release of God of War 3 that it’s protagonist, angst-ridden Kratos, should be found being angry in a renaissance painting (specifically Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson’s “Revolt In Cairo”). The game’s art direction is pretty amazing, but this takes it to another level of course. Apparently Kratos was born to be revolting in Cairo. The piece is part of Worth 1000′s photoshop, found via Kotaku.

If you’re in the Los Angeles area, here’s an interesting show that you might want to take time to check out. The artists that work for the video game company Naughty Dog (makers most recently of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves), have a show that’s appropriately called “Unleashed: The Art of Naughty Dog” that showcases these artists’ talents beyond some of the beautiful concept art that I’ve shown here in the past. The show is at the Gnomon Gallery in LA.

With the newly released demo becoming the most widely downloaded demo in history, Battlefield Bad Company 2 is steadily building up steam for its March 2nd release. I’ll admit that I’m a sucker for the FPS and I’ll often procrastinate by sharing quality time with all the well behaved guys on Xbox live playing Modern Warfare 2, so I’m definitely looking forward to the change of pace that Bad Company will surely introduce. You can check out the game for yourself here

HELP If you enjoy the audio artform that is the podcast, and even have a passing interest in video games, you should start doing like the cool kids and start listening to the great podcast by Robert Ashley entitled A Life Well Wasted. He goes into various topics and stories that swirl around the video game world, with the slick production values that you’ll find on This American Life. So, even if it’s not your cup of tea, you know someone else that will be into it (even if you don’t know it, they’re more pervasive than you could ever imagine). His latest is entitled Help, but be sure to check them all out.
