It's a hard life for game magazines, even for the Official UK PlayStation Magazine. They did a story on a God of War II launch party which took place in Greece but British tabloid The Mail jumped on to it yesterday like a hungry wolf to call the publication a disgrace. Sony then pulled most magazines off shelves before greater harm was done (subscribers still obtained their original issue though).

Why? Well, the launch party itself featured a dead goat which served as a dinner plate of sorts for the guests. More treats for anyone else who was present there were real snakes which could be picked up out of a pit, knife-throwing activities and last but not least topless models inviting people to eat the grapes they were holding. One hell of a party I'd say.


In further damage-control Sony admits their mistake stating that "an element of the event was of an unsuitable nature." So they have now probably fired someone:


The dead goat wasn't slaughtered on-site nor was it killed for this event only according to Sony, it was only bought from a Greek butcher.
