"Our combat guys told me about the Kim Possible game. They just said that it's a really good game. And they were right! It's a very well designed game. And the other thing is that we were also saying that the Barbie GBA game was a really good game--Secret Agent Barbie: Royal Jewels Mission. Eric, the other guy, was saying it was awesome. He was like, 'Seriously, I know you're laughing at me, but it's a pretty good game. They've got some cool ideas in there.'"

You couldn't do combos, it was just random. They didn't have a combo counter, they didn't have anything."

"I don't think I've stepped out of Jaffe's shadow yet," Barlog reflected. "People still say, 'God of War II, man! It looks awesome, Jaffe. Jaffe, You did a great job.' They're like, 'Jaffe, have my children!' I'm still in that shadow, and I don't think I'll be out of it for a while."
