Kratos , the antihero from the God of War series, has killed a lot of dudes. Soldiers, villagers, deities, and more have fallen to this gray-skinned sucker and his trusty Blades of Chaos. Now, Namco Bandai is inviting you to take the battle to a bunch of virtual fighters that will probably never see it coming. Kratos is in Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny , and he's pretty frickin' sweet. Watch Kratos PWN noobs right here. Now, I'm no fighting game expert; that's Ryan Clements' role here on the IGN PlayStation Team.
