God of War III hits the shelves today, and the PS3 action game has us asking the question: what crazy kind of butt-kickery is Kratos up to now? The game was developed by Sony Santa Monica, and is, for the most part, getting killer reviews.

One of the VFS grads behind the scenes? 3D Animation & Visual Effects alum Tyler Breon, who graduated in 2005 and boasts the first Uncharted as his previous credit. On God of War III, he served as a character artist, and was responsible for bringing that volcanic guy pictured in the screenshot below to life. It’s well worth your time to check out Tyler’s online portfolio – some incredible work there!

Ji Ye, a Digital Character Animation grad, also contributed to the game via well-known studio Massive Black, except that he did it before beginning his 6 months in DCA – which he wrapped just this past December!
