God of War: Ascension’s Collector’s Edition Revealed

God of War: Ascension, the prequel that sets the stage for Kratos’ bloody adventures, is set to come exclusively to PlayStation 3 on March 12, 2013. And today, Sony revealed the Collector’s Edition for the game, as well as some goodies that those who pre-order the game can look forward to.

The Collector’s Edition, which will retail for $79.99, comes with a statue of Kratos, a “premium steelbook case,” a full soundtrack for the game, a double XP unlock for multiplayer, a pass covering future DLC releases, and a dynamic theme and avatar pack for your PS3. You can see some of the goodies in the picture below.

If you pre-order either the standard version of the game or the Collector’s Edition, you’ll receive the Mythological Heroes Multiplayer Pack, which allows you to play as Perseus, Orion, Achilles and Odysseus in online battle.

God of War: Ascension’s director, Todd Papy, promises big news concerning the game on Monday, October 15th. Stay tuned to IGN for more on that news when it breaks.

FX Closes Deal to Develop Fargo as a TV Series with Coen Brothers Executive Producing

Back in March, it was revealed that FX were in very early conversations with MGM about a potential TV series based on the Academy Award winning Joel Coen & Ethan Coen film. Now, Deadline reports FX have closed the deal and are actively developing the project, and that the Coen Brothers will be involved -- in title at least -- as executive producers.

Fargo will be written and executive produced by Noah Hawley, the creator of The Unusuals and My Generation, which will be co-produced by MGM and FX Productions.

Frances McDormand won an Oscar for her role as the lead character, police chief Marge, in Fargo, with the Coens themselves winning for best screenplay. It’s expected that Marge will be the main character – though we’ll see just how pregnant she is this time.
