For those that have been following the Isle of Rhodes site (marketing promo for GOW II) you'll have noticed there was a countdown clock. This clock expired last night and appeared to reveal just more developer commentary. However, the good ol' internets have pulled back the curtain to reveal the true purpose of the site: To reveal a Secret HD Mode.

First, the link and then a quick description of how to access it:

How to do it:

The extra resolution makes the game run a bit slower, but it's also prettier.

As the game boots up, before even the White test "SCEA Presents" legal screen comes up. Hold down L1+L2+L3 (Thumbstick Button)+Square+Circle at the same time.

If you did it right, the Legal screen will appear in a shade of purple.

If you are doing this on a PS3, you may need to plug the controller in via USB.

It's not 720p. but it is running in 640*448
