Slated for a July 20th launch on PSN, Young Thor is a 2D beat-’em-up action-adventure designed exclusively as a PlayStation mini title for PSP and PS3. Watching the new gameplay trailer, the only way I can think to describe the game is to call it a side-scrolling God of War — only it’s based on Norse mythology instead of Greek, and it’s cute and cuddly instead of obscenely violent and vulgar. Anyone else getting that vibe, or am I just crazy here?
Examining the trailer with a more critical eye, the hit detection does appear to be a bit off to me. But overall I’m thinking Young Thor will be $5 well spent when it drops in a couple weeks. I’m looking forward to giving it a whirl.

After the sad and untimely close of BonusStage, the former staff went on to found VGBlogger.com, and after a short stint as US Site Manager for AceGamez Matt turned his attention to VGBlogger, and to this day is dedicated to making it one of the top video game blogs in all the blogosphere.
Matt is a fair-minded reviewer and lover of games of all platforms and types, big or small, hyped or niche, big-budget or indie. But that doesn't mean he will let poor games slide without a good thrashing when necessary.
