God Of War Pkg Ps3 -

Kratos swung the blade, not at a digital monster, but at the edge of the screen. A crack spiderwebbed across Marco's LCD panel. Through the crack, Marco smelled ash and sea salt.

And then the PS3's fan roared—not the usual jet engine whine, but a howl like a wounded animal. The PKG was rewriting itself. New data streamed across the screen:
