The God of War: Ascension beta is up and running, for those curious to see how that series handles in multiplayer. But just in case you're more a fan of the classic God of War experience, with its large action set-pieces and gruesome monster evisceration, you'll get a chance to try that too.

The PlayStation Blog has announced that the game will get a single-player demo in late February, ahead of its March 12 release. Details were as sparse as Kratos' loincloth, but Sony promises more to come in the next few weeks. In the meantime, the game has gotten a new trailer to whet your bloodlust.
