Kratos has always been a lone wolf. One angry, angry lone wolf armed with blades instead of fangs. In God of War III, however, he may just move from being a solitary asskicker to letting someone tag along.

Modern Warfare 2 came out this week. You know what that means. Lots of news about what is being claimed as the biggest entertainment launch of all time. From the good to the bad, the funny to the infuriating, it's in the PS3 Weekend Warrior. But that's not the only big news this week. Square Enix had been building up hype throughout the week for a Final Fantasy XIII announcement, and when that announcement came, well, it didn't disappoint. All this and more past the jump.

So, what transpired this week on the PSP blog? Well, Sony seems to be sending feelers out for new PSP Go colors, Nate Drake and others are getting the Pinball treatment, riskbreaking's finally making its way to the PSN, and Adhoc Party has been confirmed for a US release. Oh, and you can now get a PSP Go for cheap if you happen to have a PlayStation Credit Card. All that and more in the PSP Weekend Warrior.
