They were thinking like the Greeks. Sorry Matt but this makes sense considering the launch was themed like a Greek feast.

No. It has to do with promoting a game, and there's nothing in either God of War that has anything to do with slaughtering animals, let alone do it for a cheesy press event.

It's Greek culture Matt. Read a history book.

surely someone here must be a subscriber and can confirm if this was actually in the mag?

It's irrelevant what the history is here. It's a promo for a fictional video game. The game doesn't deal with the subject matter. It's senseless killing.

Heard this story was fake as the site is a tabloid.

I thought that as well, especially with the tone of the article. I'm still keeping that possibility open.

It does matter. The game is set in ancient Greece. What happened in ancient greece is important, especially for promotion. You wouldn't promote a roman product with out gladiators would you? Except they can't kill each other because that's illegal. Getting a goat froma butcher isn't.

You're just nitpicking based on your personal beleifs about animals.

If the goat was bought from a butcher, how is that senseless killing? It was for sale so ppl could eat it, it was not killed for this promo (atleast what i read here).

Wouldn't surprise me if Weekly World News tried something similar to this.

Distasteful...but your headline, "Sony kills goat for God of War II promo" is misleading. Apparently you didn't read through the entire article. Sony didn't kill the goat. The headless goat was already dead and bought from a local butcher. Anyway, it's still bizarre. I'm sure a few heads will roll over this one (not counting the goat...heh).

Yep, missed that line. Can't change the title now though apparently.

Sony's marketing department strikes again!
