This isn't what we wanted when we said we wanted God of War to come to Xbox... We swear!

Look away! Close your eyes! The image above will curse you to ten years of bad sex... at least that's what it feels like. We swear to god this is not what we meant when we said we wanted God of War on the Xbox. But somehow it's what we've gotten...

As already mentioned, this game is available in the Xbox Store. It seems to be part of the Xbox Creators Collection, wherein small studios or single creators can post their games, but nowhere in the Xbox Store does it say that War Gods Zeus of Child is a part of this...

The Xbox Creators Collection let's game developers post their games without having to go through Xbox's certification and approval process making this the wild west of games available and sometimes you find a diamond in the rough and other times you find... this...
