God of War is an action-adventure video game series, the first era of which was loosely based on Greek mythology.

Although the Origins Collection was criticized for its lack of new bonus content, IGN said that "Sony succeeded at making good games better".

[4] At the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), a PlayStation Vita version of God of War Collection was announced,[9] and it was released on May 6, 2014, in North America, May 9 in Europe, May 14 in Australia, and May 15 in Japan.

[14] Sony's Santa Monica Studio—the games' original developer—ran a sweepstakes in November 2009 for the release of God of War Collection.

[24] GamePro stated the collection is "two fantastic games on one disc for a low price; puts you in the right mindset for God of War 3".

[25] PlayStation LifeStyle (5/5) said "Those … familiar with Kratos will enjoy the extra polish the Collection brings to two of the best games from the PS2 era".

[26] Due to the success of God of War Collection, Sony announced that further titles would receive similar treatment for release under its new "Classics HD" brand.

[8] By June 2012, God of War Collection had sold more than 2.4 million copies worldwide, making it the eighteenth best-selling PlayStation 3 game of all time.

It was announced at the Sony press conference at E3 2011 and was ported by Ready at Dawn, the developer of the PlayStation Portable games.

God of War: Origins Collection was also released in North America as a digital download on the PlayStation Store on September 13.

It features two Blu-ray Discs—God of War I and II on the first and III on the second—and a voucher to download Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta.

It also includes a SteelBook game case with exclusive artwork and a limited edition bronze statue of Kratos, created by an Argentine artist.

Fleming added that it was odd that the PSP games were included as downloads, and would like to have seen content migrate over to the PlayStation Vita.
