God of War 3 team hiring ‘online gameplay’ developer

A new PlayStation.com job listing posted on Tuesday suggests that Kratos’ next adventure on PS3 will feature at least some kind of online play, as is the growing trend with most modern games.

The nascent job listing seeks an “online gameplay programmer” to join “the team behind the critically acclaimed God of War and God of War II.” While it would mark a first for the series, online play is increasingly becoming a standard for many high-profile games.

Crash Bandicoot: Mind over Mutant

Vivendi has just released first information on its new Crash Bandicoot game and confirmed it’ll be coming to both DS and PSP this autumn.

The game - which will also come out on Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii - features a rejuvenated Neo Cortex who’s intent on taking over the world one brain at a time using a ‘text-messaging, do-anything’ device which can control mutant and bandicoot minds. Of course, this means Crash - along with his new playable sidekick sister Coco - must try to stop him.

Among Crash’s new abilities is a roll and counter combat system, which should make for a more deep combat experience, and the ability to climb vertical surfaces. Apparently he can dig now too - a skill that real-life bandicoots have that was somehow originally overlooked by his makers, who decided to make him spin round and round very fast instead. Something which real bandicoots don’t do.
